Some examples of head to head monsters?

Julian Jackson needs to be mentioned here. He did slaughter Terry Norris.

 

Sugar Ray Leonard might be worthy of a mention. He has a great h2h record for one thing. He also had great physical assets, skill and versatility. He could box his opponents and turn into a stalking puncher as well. Of course his best weight was also SRR:s best weight, which might be why he hasn't been mentioned.

 

Salvador Sanchez, Marciano below 190

 

i dunno floyd was a bit of a show boater and as much as he was dominant he wasnt the defencive master he was later in his career. he was defintly quicker though and used all his natural talent.

 

:think

as good as he was a puncher...he could be horribly outboxed he lacked any backfoot knowledge. and in a perfect example he was getting totally outskiled by norris before that fearsome 3 shot combo.

it's strange becuase i felt that norris could be a better head to head fighter than jackson.
he had amazing handspeed with great combo's and pwoer with it. could counterpucnh on th ebackfoot had a good defence. . he was an underdog in his first winning streak almost althe way through mo blo, leonard, mugabi, curry, daniels were all betting fav if not they had a good chance of winning and he almost stopped them all.
mayb ethe most versitle fighter i have seen any style he could pull it off

sadly the 9 losses on his record dont reflect this

 

Excellent list. Replace Tyson with Liston and it's spot on. :good

 

Nice to see Leonard getting some praise. He was as close to the complete Welterweight as you can get fundamentally, plus had tremendous fighting heart and a very solid chin too. Obviously Robinson and Armstrong will be mentioned too right up there (quite a lot put Robbo #1 at WW).

To say that Leonard upon fighting either of 'em would be anything other than very competitive would be very innaccurate. They'd all be very close fights indeed.
