    B. Hopkins.... His jab hold, right hand hold, hold ,hold some more .
    Ali from 1978 until he retired. A sad spectacle.

    Sandy Saddler always stands out for me. No disputing that his record entitles him to a spot near the top of the Featherweight tree, and throw in his 130 lb exploits and he's a bona fide all-time great. But my God he looks absolutely dross on film in quite a few of his fights.

    Carlos Ortiz might be another example. It's not that he looks particularly ungainly, it's more just that, for such a great fighter (best of all-time from Puerto Rico, for my money), he really doesn't have any USP or anything in his game which stands out and screams greatness. Tremendously effective but not all that great on the eye, in my opinion.

    BLASPHEMY!!! Hey check out The Babysitter on Netflix. Black comedy/horror from 2017 that is a thrill to watch. Then catch the all new sequel The Babysitter: Killer Queen immediately after.

    Can't believe nobody said JOHN RUIZ yet. I get it, he isn't great but still...
    Old Hopkins. Ugh.
    Wlad from 2006 onwards.
    Mayweather 2009 onwards.

    I hear ya bro. This is the season for horror movies but it's not the same with everything going on. When you find time to unwind and relax just stream em both and they'll lighten the mood for sure.

    For the fans Griffith was your worst nightmare, but for someone who wants to educate themselves on the sweet sport he is a well of knowledge and a brilliant tutor.

    Marvin Hagler and Mike Mccallum are two fighters that have grown on me ...over time ( I’m proud to say )
