If you like Japanese fighters then you'd definitely enjoy watching Kazuyoshi Kanazawa. I personally thought he looked superb in his 2nd bout with a prime Ruben Olivares. He put in the performance of his life. Kiyoshi Hatanaka is another wo could've been so much more if not for eye injuries. Same with Tatsuyoshi. I have to disagree with this. Just because he was losing to bebop phenoms like Giardello, Rodriguez and Tiger or master boxers like Archer doesn't mean he was bad. He showed a variety of skills in terms of parrying, slipping, bobbing, smothering etc which is probably what @JohnThomas1 was referring to. I myself was surprised when I first watched him years ago as I expected him to be a low skilled war monger.
No quit in the Japanese it’s something in the water they are a joy to watch. I’ve read they have the highest fatalities of all the other countries in boxing a price paid I suppose. He really isn’t impressive I’m going to maintain my opinion on the matter. He was better then I thought after hearing everything about him but all round really nothing truly special.
Elisha Obed - looked a sure bet to reign at JMW for years , alas not to be. Goyo Vargas- after he beat Hodkinson was booked for many defences, didn't happen.
That fight, man - just an amazing one. Need to watch it again. He's so obviously outgunned by Olivares but there was no quit in Kanazawa at all. In the end, he just collapsed through sheer physical exhaustion.
Always disappointed how Joan Guzman didn't reach the heights that he should have given his talents. If he was only more disciplined and wasn't such a fatass he could have been much greater. I would have loved to see him fight Nate Campbell at the time. Jhonny Gonzalez is also another that could have reached to a higher elite level were it not for his fragility. He and Junior Jones had that same problem.
Didn't the first round knockdown of Golota by Tyson literally break Golota's orbital socket or something? Even a faded Tyson would have managed to another decent shot or two up there. I think Golota had lost that fight with that knockdown and knew it, so he quit rather than go out on his shield.
I think Greg Page had the most talent of the 1980s ‘lost generation’ of heavyweights but not the desire. His lack of focus and distaste for training caught up with him.
It's "casual" not "causal". BTW, Greynotsoold apparently disagrees with you that Foreman pushed up from the floor while punching. Guess he's a moron.
Grammar? He literally said he didn't use the floor. He literally said Foreman did not punch from the floor up. He said this TODAY. It has nothing to do with "grammar". The point is he contradicted what you said. You:
Firstly I meant when I wrote a typo Glass lol. My opinion does not rest on another mans it doesn't change anything- I think anything with power starts at the floor. Also the mechanics for This content is protected power and speed are the same... I think Grey will agree with me on this. If @greynotsoold thinks Foreman punched top down he is entitled to. There in lies the difference you didn't even know what an arm puncher was till I explained it to you after all your gibberish.
