I always thought of that as a strength! Think about it - you couldn't feint Rocky. That takes a page straight out of most skill fighter's textbooks, and burns it on an elaborate campfire.
1. Harry Greb 2. Carlos Monzon 3. Sugar Ray Robinson 4. Marvin Hagler 5. Bernard Hopkins 6. Charley Burley 7. Jake LaMotta 8. Tiger Flowers 9. Mickey Walker 10. Stanley Ketchel * There are about five guys who could reasonably slide into the number 10 slot (including Darcy, who might have been just as dominant as Ketchel was) * The first four are pretty much interchangeable, imo
Yes but you have to hit with a swing to do damage Pep was hard to hit or even trap somewhere It is a good thing that is my reason why he is one of the hardest HWs for Pep to fight. But its not always good especially with a huge hitter I never said he had no defence i know he has an underrated defence
Definitely included in the Top 20 these days, although I think he might have been a bit better at welterweight, to be honest.
Gpater did you know Marciano and Pep were very good friends and were seen together almost everywhere during retirement.
i knew something about it but didnt know how close i knew they both loved boxing and were very knowledgeable on it, as i have watched afew of Marcianos shows and am trying to get a copy of Peps book about Friday Fight Nights
Lloyd Marshall defeating Ezzard Charles and Charley Burley are great accomplishments, but are the reports of his chin being glass true?
I think that arry Grebs resume is so far ahead of everybody else that he simply has to be ranked #1 at middleweight. He beat so many great fighters that it is prety much imaterial how he beat them or how good he looked doing it.
