Most intelligent boxing display?

good choice, I never saw Floyd think so much in a fight

 

Mayweather when he faces aggressive pressure fighters.

 

Yay, the *******s came to ruin a thread

 

just realised who SNV is!

I think Salvador Sanchez had a great boxing brain and fought with intelligence, particularly his last fight with Nelson

 

Schmeling-Louis I is a great shout. An older, less physically talented and some would say technically sound fighter taking out one of the greatest of all time because he exploited a single flaw in their technique? Epic.

My personal favorite might be Ezzard Charles KO6 Lloyd Marshall. Getting off the canvas to do what he did was awesome. I also really enjoy Benny Leonard-Tendler I, lots of mobility in that bout and two very skilled fighters going at it. SRL-Benitez was a great masterclass from a young fighter and proved Leonard's greatness as a complete fighter. Another good one is Tunney-Dempsey, Tunney did a great job of recovering, frustrating Dempsey and taking advantage of the holes in his game. The only reason it isn't my favorite is because I maintain that Dempsey was a slowed down, weaker version.

Foreman-Ali doesn't fit the criteria for the topic; what ali did in that fight was not an intelligent boxing display. It was a survival technique. You can't call taking horrible punishment to the body and head intelligent. Hit and not get hit.... Not get hit get hit get hit get hit then hit him when he's tired.

 

I think Morales fought very smart against Pacquiao and same with Marquez.

 

Maybe, maybe not. I agree that he didn't have many options on his table, but that still doesn't make it an intelligent boxing display. Absorbing punishment like that can never be.

 

Hands down and it is not even close concerning our era. That was a strategic dismantling of epic porportions. Nothing tops the brilliance of that fight. Everytime it looked like Tito was gonna land that bomb, hopkins hand flys up to block it at the last second.

Great call and it is the first one that comes to mind as far as inteligent performances.:good:deal

 

Pernell vs anyone? Dam that's a bold statement but I just got to agree. He was so consistent with his mastery that we just took it for granted. It's hard to incorporate his superhuman reflexes when thinking about inteligent performances because there are too many variables when concerning reflexes.

 

floyds skills and brain got him good wins.and i do like him.

but no one wants to admit his clever matchmaking done for him and only talk about pacs matchmaking which isnt as bad as people make out.

 

I just saw the Winky fight and it was a beautiful display of boxing. I have a similar style to his except I'm not southpaw

 

PAC vs Marquez 3

PAC knows that Marquez is just looking for a big payday so he said,' Nobody will want to watch this Fight'.

 

seems the only thing you know about boxing is Pacquiao so I found you another forum
