Which fighter would you choose?

Willie Pep

 

Would love to have seen Ali at his prime. Hagler comes close second.

 

Maybe i'd have to pick a man like Greb that we have no footage of, if you take that factor out though i would choose either Ray Robinson or Roberto Duran.

But at this very moment in time the fighter i am besotted (go on rip me apart!) with is Yoko Gushiken, i would go back in time right now and just sit there in awe at his masterclasses.

 

A pretty boring and standard answer, but robinson.

If not robinson then benny lynch with hopefully a team around him that would have been able to control his alcholism

 

steve was thinking the same thing kinda

imagine watching a prime Benny Lynch is a glasgow arena the atmosphere would be mazing and so would Benny

 

Benny Leonard

 

Definetly, think what the atmosphere was like for a harrison fight then times it by 10 if there was a fighter of lynch quality in the ring.

On a side point who do you rate higher lynch or buchanan?

 

would have been awesome

i rate Buchanan higher he was more established IMO and beat the better names but i rate benny Lynch H2H at Flyweight very highly

 

Someone with little to no footage like Burley and Greb, probably Burley

 

**** loads. Harry Greb in his early 20's. Jack Johnson pre Jefiries. Cassius Clay. Archie Moore. SRR.

 

Probably correct, the laguna wins are probably the big difference between the 2 careers(as ortiz was miles past prime i don't really rate that), however i fell lynch was slighly more talented, should have done so much more in boxing

 

yeh Lynch had more potential but them laguna wins were amazing
