    Golota was very skilled for such a big guy.

    for sho. i already mentioned him up top. even though bowe was past his best, golota was still awesome in those two fights. i could not believe this guys was from poland. i think he would tear vitali's ass up

    The TS listed Joe Frazier as a technically proficient fighter, but did not include Jerry Quarry. I doubt if he knows what sound technique is.

    You are also forgetting Smokin Bert Cooper..here's what legendary sports writer Bert Sugar had to say about his skills..


    "Bert Cooper's consummate boxing skill, with his flashy left hand serving as the centerpiece, made him a lineal descendant of Jim Corbett, the first of the great scientific boxers. Further, Cooper could block his opponents' punches by "rolling" with them. It was argued that even when hit Cooper had remarkable recuperative powers. Smokin Bert had always used his ring craftsmanship and speed to defuse his opponent's power."
