The rhythm Breakers...Who are they

aggressive fighters are usually pretty good rhythme breakers..unless they are themselves totally predicatable in their own rhythme....dempsey said that beginning fighters can be effective rhythm breakers..because they have none of their own, so they throw punches that make no sense, hence a experienced guy can get caught by a newibie when you figure he will never get touched.

 

Boom! The very reason why I don't think Jones could handle him, or many Light Heavyweights for that matter. It was impossible to interpret what he was going to throw and which direction he was going to move in. He threw punches from every possible angle, sometimes you'd watch and think..how did he even get that off? Jones, who relies on his reflexes a whole lot, would be up **** creek.

 

It's very hard for anyone to look good against Hopkins, Clottey, and maybe Winky Wright.

 

Sandy Saddler, Joey Maxim, Randy Turpin, Carmen Basilio, ...

 

Saul Mamby. He had a lot of losses but I don't recall him ever being stopped.

 

Ken Norton was a great rhythm breaker..he was poison to Muhammad Ali and should have won bout #3 of theirs.

 

Awkward guys, guys who used a lot of angles, and jabbers.

 

how about someone like Jung-Koo Chang who didnt let you settle into a rhythm to start with

 

You and Chang need to get a room, but yeah, I think that's a valid enough point...and the reason why I picked him to beat Lopez in the other thread. Lopez was accustomed to setting the pace and working at his own rhythm. Chang wouldn't allow that to happen, so whereas Chang would be fighting his usual fight...Lopez would be like a fish out of water.

 

You and Yuh need to get a room - taht would be quite quite lonely

Chang is class though

 

Sammy Angott was a great rhythm breaker vs Willie Pep.
