The Ultimate Hot And Cold Fighters?

Hahaha, some very true points. Bey and Crusher also gave him heaps but again that intense determination ground them down even when the skills were eroding. Weaver too earlier.

 

...........And he confessed to really disliking boxing. He played piano quite well too, from what I've read.

I have no idea what any of that has to do with the issue at hand, but if you want some uselsss knowledge, I'm always there for ya.

 

Bob Satterfield deserves a mention on this thread. He was the ultimate erratic fighter, beating a top man one fight, losing to a journeyman the next.

 

..going back a few decades...kid gavilan...blew hot and cold. he fought so many times he didn't go all out in many of his matches. he was never truly rotten even losing...but he'd beat some very good fighters and be lazy against some not so good.

johnny bratton.....same era. ...was the ultimate hot and cold fighter. was brilliant in one fight....awful in the next. some of those losses have to do with fights not on the level...but when he was good he was superb.

 

Joe Calzaghe.

 

Lennox Lewis is one. Manny Steward used to alway go on about it

He could be sensational on one night then look very ordinary the next time

 

Marco Antonio Barrera blew hot and cold during many periods in his career

 

Tim Witherspoon :think

 

I'm not sure Lennox is entirely a great example. Lewis is a guy who could fight a cautious or destructive, he was no less effective at either. The Golota and Tua performances are equally brilliant, though very very different. Both I would consider 'hot' for different reasons.

 

Tigeredge: I like the MAB nomination. I wouodn't have thought of that, but its very true.

Some Brits:

Junior Witter

Chris Eubank

Howard Eastman

 

Shannon Briggs.......... He can show flashes of absolute greatness, then lok like a block of wood... it frustrates me..
