Iran Barkley too , but Toney was the master of clean infighting . As to whom was the best elbower/butter , there were other threads dedicated to it .
for sure. Randall vs Chavez I is another one Whitaker vs McGirt I and Curry vs Starling I are the best ones for me
Great Great A nice clip of Charley Riley fighting.Riley was a tough fighter of the rich 1940s era,and was not in the top 10 ratings, but look at him and have an idea how tough that era was in talent. Today he would give any top featherweight fits. P.s. Riley was kod by the truly great Willie Pep in 1950.:good
He did make the top 3 in 1947 when he went undefeated the whole year and later top 5 in 1950 when Riley was KO'd by Pep and fought Saddler to a close majority decision loss. He was massively strong and as tough as they come, I imagine the Pep fight was matter of a punch he never saw coming as Pep floored him with a quick counter uppercut, apparently knocking him out cold.
Julio Cesar Vasquez vs Javier Castillejo - not great from a technical point of view, but that was brutal....
You mean Curry/Starling II? That's what I was gonna mention. Supreme technical in-fight. I don't know if there was a single clinch, either, although it's been a while since I've seen it. Jose Stable vs Charley Scott is one I have with some great two way in-fighting.
