The Hagler's traits thread gave me this idea.........please note what in your opinion would be the greatest asset or strength of the following fighters: Pernell Whitaker Emile Griffith Gene Fullmer Eusebio Pedroza Azumah Nelson Mike Weaver Dwight Qawi Tony Canzoneri Joe Louis Eder Jofre
Pernell Whitaker-effortless defense Emile Griffith-(cobra nailed it) Gene Fullmer-will over skill Eusebio Pedroza-low blows that are ignored Azumah Nelson-intelligence and adaptability Mike Weaver-physique...? Dwight Qawi-workrate and utilization of his size Tony Canzoneri-footspeed Joe Louis-flawless punching technique Eder Jofre-......everything
Pernell Whitaker - Upper body movement Emile Griffith - Inside fighting Gene Fullmer - Awkwardness Eusebio Pedroza - Ring generalship Azumah Nelson - Confidence Mike Weaver - Power Dwight Qawi - Counter right Tony Canzoneri - Don't know Joe Louis - Punching technique Eder Jofre - Right hand
Pernell Whitaker - Creativity, craftiness and ****iness Emile Griffith - Strength and as others as others have said well-roundedness Gene Fullmer - Handspeed (very underrated) and toughness Eusebio Pedroza - Stamina Azumah Nelson - Strength and power Mike Weaver - Did he have any great traits? Dwight Qawi - Napoleon Complex Tony Canzoneri - Confidence & poise in the heat of battle Joe Louis - Punching technique Eder Jofre- Punching technique and toughness
Whitaker- combination of speed and unorthadox style. Griffith- maybe physically strongest welter of all time...all round fighter. Fullmer- Total unorthadox approach, strong and mean. Pedroza- smooth style but good bodypuncher. two things normally not associated. Nelson- tactician and powerhouse. Weaver- dunno..never appreciated Weaver. Qawi- Intensity!!! Canzoneri- The original draw.. then counter fighter. Unique and brilliant. Louis- Simply unbelievable punching technique. Jofre-Complete fighter. Could do everything. Sorry for the repeat answers guys...I didn't look at other posts ...honest!
