War between two skilled boxers

Riddick Bowe vs Evander Holyfield I & III.

Case closed.

 

How anyone can look at this muther****er, and not see how he uses his boxing SKILLS to set his opponent up is beyond me. Pure boxing skill is what allowed him to catch Cuevas. After that it was all over.

Just because he had power, and MAD KILLER instinct doesn't mean he was just a slugger.

They were much more than "just sluggers"! That's just a myth. Both were highly skilled boxers, especially Duran.

 

marquez-casamyor pretty recent not a true war but a bloody game of chess

 

wow in less than a min 3 peeps just jumped on the same comment.

 

Most of the above mentioned where skilled but much of them where in the brawl type and aggressive fighters, a slik defensive fighter like Calderon, Floyd, Hopkins, Jones, Whittaker are very rare see them into wars, Whittaker sometimes got into exchanges and put excitement. But I do not remember one in my mind right now.

 

hamed vs kelley sharpshooting at its best

 

maybe not most textbook but good, skilled and very able.

quartey-oscar
azumah-fenech II
cotto-clottey
brown-pettway
davis-breland

 

Martinez - Williams

 

Wright vs Taylor

 

Morales - MAB I & III
Marquez - Vasquez trilogy
Marquez - Pac II
Marquez - MAB
Toney - McCallum
Leonard - Duran

Oh, and calling Duran and Hagler "sluggers" is absurd.

 

great action fights fought at avery high skill level you have to watch

joe calzaghe vs. mikkel kessler
paul williams vs. sergio martinez
jermain taylor vs. winky wright

or you can watch these action fights fought at a moderately high skill level

carl froch vs. jean pascal
tomasz adamek vs. steve cunningham

 

jmm-pac2 was a great chess match with great tactics employed. you can see the eagerness of both fighters to engage but at the same time knew that each one is gonna pay dearly if they made mistake. look at how they sized-up each other from the first up to the final rounds. also both fighters display good defense. will go down as a classic and if not for vazquez-marquez, could be the fight of the year for 2008.

 

and chins
tht was a war

 

Leonard/ Hearns
