Most skilled fighter in Britain

well what makes a good finisher then??

 

Apparently Tyson. Just for the aficionados that one I think, I for one had never heard of his exploits

Wilfredo Gomez IMO is a great example of a great finisher. But comparing Haye, still active, to ATG decimators is a but unfair ImO

 

I said he was 'most skilled' not 'best finisher'.

As IO say, if you've got any clips of Ian Napa beating World Class fighters I'll admit his skillset is 'World class' and therefore 'Britains best'.

As it stands I'll go for the most proven guy, who, whilst not being perfect, has some bloody good attributes.

If the thread title was 'most technically proficient' then I'd be more inclined to go for Napa. But Haye has some serious skills, easily viewable in his last fight, where he beat one of the top 3 in his 2nd DIVSION!!!!!

Ian Napas shoulder roll hasn't even got him past Euro level. Bummer.

If only someone had uploaded the Napa-Bouziane fight onto youtube I could play in the same childish games. Alas, no ones bothered to upload it.

 

In short, although I like Napa, I think it's become quite trendy to label him 'unheralded' or to big up his skillset as 'World class' when in fact there are other feather fists who have reached the top of their respective divisions. Napa has some serious skills; obviously not thatskilled otherwise he would've utilised them to get to the top of his division, power or not, bad decisions or not.

 

People seem to be completely disregarding power as a skill.

In a game where you're trying to knock your opponent out, the art of punch power must actually be about the greatest skill of all?

 

That's not the game.

 

What?!?!?!?!? Being able to throw hard punches is a talent, especially when you couple it with an iron chin and stiff jab that george had.

Just realised you started the thread and are obviously bitter than it hasn't turned out as a love thread for your man Napa.

 

My boy?!?!?!? Better than he is; the dominance of one-weight (Cunningham excluded though he got showed up anyway) and the beating of a top 3 fighter at the above weight show how good he is pal.

I only got involved in this debate because of your inaccuracies regarding Haye's skillset.

Fair play,you backed up your point regarding Hayes finishing. But does that show that Haye is not the most skilled fighter?

No, but the Valuev fight shows he arguably is.

Break something down?!?!? Are you questioning my boxing knowledge?

 

NAPA IS ABSOLUTE SHITE...HIS FIGHTS R DIPLORABLE AND RUINED MY FRIDAY NIGHTS EVEN RUINED MY SATURDAYS:thumbsup

 

Me? Seriously?

Your dismissal of Valuev shows you have no clues of the 'mechanics of the sport', which by the way you and I could go on all day about, there would only be one 'victor', as stupid as that is on an internet forum. No offence.

 

You obviously ain't a real fan then; Napa is a quality technician.
