Fighters who were good at handling pure boxers and technicians but struggled..

Ken Norton is the first man that springs to mind.

 

You're basing too much on 1 off night Tszyu had. Pendelton lasted 10 rounds (TKO) against the same Phillips a few months later and he was not a durable boxer. It was just a bad night. As for Hatton he was a C level hometown boxer for whom they had to invent a new set of rules so he can become a world champion and not get DQ every time he steps into the ring. Hatton just tired a 36 year old Tszyu out with his incessant wrestling not to mention that he was dropped by a body shot with his hometown ref stepping in as usual. Try watching the fight without sound next time :good With a proper ref a 36 year old Tszyu knocks him out inside 5 rounds.

 

I made a point about Mijares on a thread over on the General today where I said a certain type of aggressive fighter would cause him severe issues but that he had the right balance of fluidity and awkwardness to pose a lot of good stylists/technicians severe problems.

He did handle Arce well though, but that doesn't mean Moon wouldn't beat him senseless inside five rounds

so, as Russell said, potentially Mijares. Cermeno seemed one-route pressure wise but Mijares couldn't pull it off (admittedly have only seen the rematch) but Mijares couldn't pull it out. I still can't figure out how Vic beat him, Mijares seemed so perfectlly equipped.

Vic was on fire that night and although young, that may have just been the end of a series of top wins for a young guy with nearly 50 fights if I'm not wrong.

 

To the above poster, was it the wrestling that made Tszyu **** blood?

 

I remember after the fight a lot of people saying that he was pissing blood, had bruises on his brain and blood clots, broken nose and jaw etc. on the brink of death really . I also remember that all of their posts ended with words like mate, I reckon, bloody hell (and no they were not Australians). Hatton doesn't know how to box. He wrestles and then rabbit punches or wrestles pushes the head down and fires a body punch (which is funny because it was the thing Lazcano was warned about when he had Hatton out on his feet and then the laughable 2 minute retying of shoes laces when Hatton wouldn't budge from the corner at the signal from the ref to resume the action)

 

all the people that mention wlad, golota, and norton i agree with.

 

Please at least spare me the bull**** squire that you are a fan of Tszyu. What about Lennox ? Knocked out cold by C level Rahman and McCall, almost knocked out by Briggs, looked like **** against Vitali, life and death struggles with Mercer, Mavrovic, Bruno etc. best win was 37 year old Holyfield. I bet you have good explanation. No I'm not a hater of Lennox but a fan. He was just a good example beacuse you're from Britain. My point is that I can do the same about other great fighters as well. Your threads and posts dissing Tszyu are quite pathetic. Who is a greater boxer Tszyu or Zarate?

 

:huh

 

Tackie is a really bad example because Tszyu used him as a punching bag for 12 rounds (compare the life and death struggle Hatton had with him). Urkal and Tackie are really limited but you consider Alan Rudkin a good boxer? Alan Rudkin? Seriosly?

 

I'm just using biased(read hater) logic Beeston to prove a point that I can find faults with every boxer. Lennox is a lock TOP3 HW of All time.

 

What's wrong with Rudkin?.

I mean fair enough if you don't rate him i suppose, but in comparison to a truly unskilled plodder like Tackie?.That's just downright insulting.

 

Hatton didn't struggle life and death with Tackie mate.

You need to watch it again..... Tackie was always in there and competitive, it was a bit like Kessler vs Andrade - but there was only one winner.
