Judging today's fighters. I call it like I see it! Damn, Solo Boxeo says goodbye!

toughes son of a shut yo mouth: Antonio Margarito...Who takes a better punch, who smiles at you when you land something good. I've only seen the man hurt once, and he was not all that hurt against Clottey. I talk about him, but I respect him. He used to be able to box better than he shows us today. Defense is also very underrated.
:good

Best southpaw: Tie. Manny Pac and Calzaghe. These are two of the top guys in our sport today.

Biggest straight left hand: Manny P. Darchinian are JML are up there, but Manny's is the best!

Best left hook: Juan Marquez. It isn't the strongest, but it is the best.

You're a valid candidate and although some have disagreed with you (as I have) and even had feuds with you, you love boxing as we all do. :good

 

Bernard Hopkins. He's made an underdog in every fight.

 

There's alot that's good about this list, but surely the best boxer in the world could land more than a microscopic handful of punches on a Hopkins who is offering almost nothing back? Kelly Pavlik landed better punches, and more of them, against Hopkins, and he got dominated. Granted, Hopkins left more opportunities to be hit in the Pavlik fight, but come on.. Calzaghe the best boxer? Not a chance. Turning every shot into a 6 inch jab - lead or rear hand, and/or slap, does not make you the ****ing best boxer alive.

 

what about David Haye for Heaviest hands.

 

Great post!!:good:happy:good But best left hook, Juan Marquez???? Wlad Klitschko triple left hooked Rahman and the giant Austin into oblivion. His lead left hook and his hook off the jab are in another stratosphere especially considering his huge size. Anyway great list but the left hook championship goes to Wlad.

 

Uh, no. Juan Manuel Marquez, dude.
