    Azumah Nelson was incredibly skilled. And someone is claiming he’s the “ least “ skilled ? Really unbelievable

    In his early FW career, he was mainly a 2-fisted attacker/swarmer, but he showed increasingly improved boxing skills in his later FW/jr LW tenure.

    Agreed. He's skilled in multiple area's, brilliantly rounded actually even in single facets not scream out. It supports the notion i often put forward, the man is underrated.

    Gene Fullmer.

    Also Greb was known for being durable with an awkward, relentless style.

    Watch his first bout with Robinson closely don’t think he’s less skilled then the HWs we call ATG’s Gene was a savvy man.

    That had absolutely nothing to do with skill lmao he just ran over Frazier, whom played into Foreman's hands perfectly

    Frazier is a formidable man even against those with great strength, you can't simply "run over" Joe Frazier. Foreman’s performance against Joe was a masterclass of technique when it came to slugging, and to say that George simply, "Just ran over Frazier", is pretty disingenuous. Framing, guard manipulation, footwork... You can just see it.

    Lmao agree to disagree, nothing Foreman did was that complicated Frazier just played into his style perfectly in the first fight
