if you were a boxer

The one guy I would of hated to fight would of been Frazier. I would of ducked him like a ***** admittedly.

A genuine 15 round pressure fighter, works 3 minutes a round aswell, backs you up, makes it hard for you to time him and hits you hard. The damage he did to Muhammad Ali was evident. Look at the damage he did to Chuvalo in their fight aswell.

You could say the same about Tyson but like I've said before, Tyson thrived on his opponent's fear. He wasn't immune to it himself, and if you stood up to him and showed you weren't intimidated you had a good chance.

Frazier on the other hand was fearless. You could not win a psychological battle against this guy. He would kick your in and out of the ring.

 

Fighters who like to inflict pain. Miguel Cotto per example.

 

from my style i would duck pressure fighters as they are alot stronger than me and i find them hard to cope with but a slow brawler suits me well and makes me look like the second coming of Locche.

 

I'm not a fighter, but I think fighting Whitaker would be a ****ing nightmare.

 

Well, the fact that you hold these two examples up with relish and importance tell us all we need to know, really.

Caught like a rat in a trap, yet again :yep

:good

 

Tyson didnt care if you wont he psychological battle. Ask:

Razor Ruddock,
Pinklon Thomas,
Tony Tubbs,
Larry Holmes,
Jose Ribalta,
Tyrell Biggs

All of which showed absolutely no fear but soon found out that not being afraid of him means jack. Frankly Tyson wasn't some large imposing HW. His opponents were fearful of him because of what he did to previous opponents. So if you were a boxer and you were not intimidated then it wouldnt matter.

 

There's plenty I would have ducked gladly. Just to name a few:

Smaller fighters - Duran (dirty & just plain good), the Mexican bantam KO kings Oliveras, Zarate & Pintor (who wants to get KOed?).

Larger fighters - Ali (his reach & the way he used it - opponents couldn't hit him at his range but he just danced and teed off repeatedly), Tyson (probably wouldn't wake up til the next day).

 

Calzaghe as SMW. I wouldn't want to be humiliated and beaten by someone like that.

 

I think Hearns and Winky Wright were stylistically nightmarish for almost anyone.

 

Duran because not only could he knock you out he was dirty and i remember Buchanan said something along the lines of "i think about Duran every time i go to the toilet"

 

Don't worry, just close your eyes and throw rights, somethings bound to tag him clean :yep

 

If I was a boxer, especially a superbantamweight in the mid to late 70's, you know who I would want no part of..none other than Wilfredo Gomez. I respect all boxers, especially champions, and don't want to consign any one as a pushover, but if I was a boxer, and by that I mean a scientific type boxer, I would go after a guy like Maxie Rosenbloom, who, whether you beat him or not, most likely wouldn't hurt you.
