Fighters who really impressed you on film

Pep
Armstrong
Harold Johnson
Lou Ambers
Barney Ross

 

Ralph Dupas is one fighter I really wish there was more footage of.... such a quick and clever boxer he was and he had such a beautiful style of boxing, its a pleasure to watch this man ply his trade.

 

Ike Williams has allways impressed me ,a Joe Louis in minature.
Eder Jofre, very complete
Carlos Ortiz had it all.
Jim Driscoll, rapier left hand and a quick jolting right.
What footage there is of Benny Leonard reveals some of his skill.
Saddler looks pretty frightening on film.
Pep is a given, he is like a humming bird around a flower, the way he pecks and pokes before gliding away.
Arguello so correct a hitter, you can forgive him his slow feet.
Ray Leonard was very rounded and a great finisher.
Ricardo Lopez , no faults really.
Sanchez ,great poise, the phrase, sang froid ,could have been invented for him.
Jack Delaney another version of Tunney.
Allways liked to watch Buddy McGirt too.

 

Try the Petrolle fight first lol.

 

Same here, just 2 highlight fights, and 1 complete fight, There is more out there I sure, but he is amazing to watch.

 

Speaking of Tendler, I add him to my list also. I feel had Benny Leonard NOT been around, we be speaking of Lew as a great fighter.

 

I didnt have it a outclass, I did a round by round, before the crash, a few years ago.

Belive I had Leonard ahead by 3 rounds, which is the way to score fights of the era. The round system. But this was a ND bout. But had it been score, the round system would have been in used.

 

Ike Quartey for his jab alone, so much power and accuracy.

 

Night Train is a hypnotic but slow beat ,check out SRR and Duran skipping also Johnny Bratton .

 

Disagree on Laguna, I think he was a show boat.

 

Glad to see another Dupas fan here, not many of us around from the looks of it. Send me an e-mail when you have the time btw, have something to discuss with you.

 

Ortiz was out of shape for that fight ,look at the rematch if you want a true line on Laguna.
ps There was speculation that he retired as Duran was coming up to avoid a meeting
