Possibly the best boxing highlight I have ever seen! Thanks GreatA

This was really aces. Ali's and Walcott's footwork - wow! You've seen it dozens of times, but it just never gets old. Would be nice to see a really good comparison of them in this aspect.

But watching Moores, Duran's and PBF's more static defence is almost even more of a pleasure. I haven't watched much of PBF, but the highlights of him could just be the most impressive. It's just so ecnomic, but still so watertight.

 

Walcott is a delight..an artist.

 

I believe that was at the outset of round nine, Terrell's first attempt at an offense after "What's my name?" If Ali could do it with Terrell, he could do it with Lewis, the Klitschkos, Bowe, and the other latter day super heavyweights of similar stature.

 

Many fighters' highlights are more impressive than their records, much like the guy throwing down a nasty dunk always gets the highlight on the nightly sports over the shifty, defensive minded guard who is in fact more effective. I appreciate analyzing full fights and results more than reveling in flashy snippets.

Bah Humbug.

 

I remember a certain poster saying that Jersey Joe was a bum. That guy was dead wrong. That footwork and "switch hitting" is down right incredible. He would have taken the title from Rocky had it not been for that fabled punch of Marciano's.

 

I hope GreatA makes a part 3 and puts in some guys like Miguel Canto, Johnny Famechon, Miguel Lora, Billy Graham, Hilario Zapata and Tommy Loughran, who are all better defensive fighters than the likes of Jersey Joe and Archie Moore imo.

Nice video tho, for sure :good

 

And Jack Johnson should be in there. .....

 

I hope not.A clucher and grabber if ever there was one.

 

The discerning eye will note that there is a heirarchy of expertise depicted on the video.

A challenge for the board... rank the following:

A. Making your opponent miss while you are on the perimeter. (Think of "perimeter" as the "line of fire.")
B. Making your opponent miss while you are inside the perimeter.
C. Making your opponent miss while you are outside of the perimeter.
D. Making your opponent miss where you are under fire and are simultaneously using offense and defense.

 

Yeah to a large extent, but incredibly skillfully, he smothered his opponent's attack.
Slipping and dancing and weaving is all nice to look at, but oftentimes great defensive fighting is necessarily ugly. A fighter who can muffle and block and roll and bring his opponents' punches to a grinding halt at will is a great defensive fighter.

 

:deal

Lets hunt this idiot down and make sure he never spawns any offspring

:vonnecunt

 

His nom de guerre was Revolver and I remember his birthplace was Green Bay. Good luck finding him. He was a real jerk.

 

wow... just amazing. and it's GreatA's? never ceases to impress

 

not sure if you're kidding but i agree. effective, brilliant, blah blah but a johnson highlight would be a john ruiz highlight, except grainier
