Favorite offensive fighters

Dempsey, Marciano, Julian Jackson

In more recent times ive been watching alot of Orlando Canizales

while i wouldnt describe myself as a fan of them, Harada and Tyson are always entertaining

 

That is the best description of Durans attack I've ever seen. For pure absolute bomb throwing I liked John the Beast Mugabi.

 

Hearns, Rosario,Spinks.

 

Ricardo Lopez
Jose Napoles
Salvador Sanchez
Roberto Duran
Alexis Arguello
JMM
Pacquiao
Yuri Arbachakov
Orlando Canizales
Jeff Fenech
Johnny Tapia
Roman Gonzalez
Jung Koo Chang
Mark Too Sharp Johnson
Donald Curry
Joe Louis

 

Dont think Mancini Boza or McGuigan have been mentioned

 

Riddick Bowe: best combination puncher since Louis.

Gerald McClellan: I dont think there was any boxer in history that fought as aggressively as McClellan. I also think he was probably the hardest hitting middleweight of all time.

Aron Pryor: very in your face with effective combos.

Bob foster: had one of the greatest left hands ever, great power jab and a murderous left hook especially when he countered with it. Knocked men out in some terrifying ways.

Thomas hearns: scariest looking right cross I've seen, great at setting others up for it.

Joe louis: nobody really matchss Louis's killer instinct, when he chose to turn up the heat it was nothing short of brilliant or brutal.

Nigel benn: expplosive snapping punches

Foreman
Marciano
Basilio
Danny Lopez
Duran

Kill or be killed attitude:
Hurricane Carter
Shavers
Jorge Arce
James Kirkland

 

Felix Trinidad- a patient stalker applying mental and physical pressure each round. Couple that with elite conditioning/stamina and perfect punching technique. He had power in every shot he threw. Good punch variety. I'll always remember those back to back double lefts he hit Thiam with, left uppercut/lefthook then a lefthook/left uppercut...Larry Merchant said " what God had in mind there was a prizefighter."
