What styles throughout history captivate you?

Pernell Whitaker, James Toney, and Mike Tyson usually leave me in the "how the hell?" state of mind after seeing them.

 

Roy jones sometimes i could say he wasnt superman, but was the closest thing , he looked very relaxed and then bam, he caught you with a straight hand or a super quick combination of 6 or 7 punches, truly unbelievable

 

joe frazier,it may seem like an odd choice but the guys was totally relentless,even when getting a beatdown to foreman he climbed off the canvas for more like 5 or so times

 

Pernell Whitaker and Naseem Hamed.

 

Nicolino Locche, Naseem Hamed, Larry Holmes, Carlos Monzon, Ali to name a few

 

Corrie Sanders! He was the first super southpaw ever born, and his physical tools combined with his ackward southpaw style made him a freak of nature!! at 6'4 225lb with handspeed like a featherweight and power like an atomic bomb, and skills of a smart crafty old man.....it made him pleasantly enjoyable to watch. No one could ever beat Corrie at his best! there is no defense to a super southpaw style! watching corrie go to work on current heavyweight champion wladimir klitschko was laughable it was so easy!

Super Southpaw Sanders :yep !

 

I don't know if he captivated me more than any other fighter in history, but on the night he boxed masterfully against Julio Cesar Chavez, Meldrick Taylor had my eyes glued to the TV set.

Regardless of the outcome, Meldrick was a true genius that evening. He was in the ring with a true all time great in the midst of his prime, and schooled him from top to bottom. His, jabs, hooks to the head and body, combinations and footwork were truly remarkable, and one of the most noteworthy performances of the last 30 years in my opinion.

 

Muhammad Ali during the 60´s and Sugar Ray Leonard.
All the best
The Predator

terry norris makes me wonder how amazingly quick hands he had coupled with power also with a great mish mash of styles I.E. powerpuncher, slugger, boxer, counterpuncher, slickster etc. i thikn he coudl do anythign he truly wanted. he was also gifted with a shaky chin, which to be honest made his style far more effective. mugabi looking to powerpunch his way thru norris, possibly becuase jackson did so not long before and put norris in a heap. and mugabi was a big puncher.

and he got countered and comboed out of there.

it should be noted that a glass jaw can be useful to a guy. if foreman had a shaky chin morrison would of tried to bomb him out, same with lewis-tua.

anyways point is that he mixed a great blend of styles, one of th emost complete fighters ive ever seen.




azumah nelsons style always used to make me wonder how he could do that.
a cross arm defence which is used more for hooks and uppercuts. and he is popping a jab out of it.

very awkward but all perfectly technically sound.

 

Finito and Arguello

 

Salvador Sanchez was a genius. He could do it all and sometimes made it look effortless.

Carlos Monzon was like a cyborg. Other than for a split second when Briscoe hurt him in the 9th round of their second fight, I never saw him taken out of his gameplan.
