The Ultimate Hot And Cold Fighters?

i was gonna say he wasnt that erratic he just got over excited, ill discplined and overtrained....atsch
DERGH!!!!!!

yeah his main problem was overtraining i feel, he could be and arrogant know it all but he knew enough that if he didnt put in th ework he will lose badly. have you heard of his sparring wars with cruiserwieght brother orlin? 20 odd rounds a week was normal. he beat up reggie johnson pretty bad as well the scene said.

Good shout, though much like Holmes his determination got him through a lot of his 'cold' fights.

 

James Buster Douglas.

 

great one. surprised it hasn't already been mentioned

Buster though only had one great night

 

#1 has to be Buster Douglas from omni like heat on one night to a knocked out on your ass 300 lbs diabetic all in the span of a year and a half. No one in the History of boxing has been that hot and cold.

 

Strangely? Not at all Russ. Remember that he was Champion, and a dominant one at that. To me, it's more remarkable that this defending titleholder could pitch 15 round shutouts over Berbick and Cobb. (Remember that Dokes and Norton needed split decision wins to beat Tex.) A first time challenger who's not prepared to give the performance of a career does not deserve to be competing for the title.

 

In fact, Weaver could play the theme to Chariots of Fire well enough so that you couldn't tell it wasn't the recording. He's perfectly capable of playing professionally.

 

If you fight a punishing schedule with short recuperation time between fights you are likley to loose to lesser fighters than you otherwise would.

 

You might be able to throw Leon Spinks into the mix. He was tremendous in Ali I, and against Mercado. He also had his head in the match through the first three rounds against Holmes. After a slow start against Evangelista, he came back with a vengeance. After roaring out the gate against Coetzee [nearly propelling Gerrie through the ring ropes], he got blown out via the three KD route.

Righetti [which got him to Ali], LeDoux, Eddie Lopez and Burnett were uninspired performances though. Leon would never defeat a prime ATG, but he should always have been an exciting action fighter. Frazier always hustled, even against Cummings. Leon didn't. But as Ali I and Mercado showed, he could be very, very good.
