Who do you consider the greater fighter: LM Rodriguez or J Napoles?

I think that maybe you haven't watched enough of Rodriguez to comment, given the "textbook style" remark. Rodriguez was one of the most varied fighters of all time. Capable of boxing off the backfoot, or in and out like a gazelle behind the jab or pressing the fight with relentless body work and combinations. Hardly ever a straight up textbook fighter, though. Very awkward and even downright ugly at times to watch.

 

Neither Giardello nor Rodriguez are textbook fighters. If you want a textbook fighter watch Harold Johnson or Barney Ross. But of course they are hugely overrated on here as well.

 

Giardello was a case of a selftaught master of the black arts of boxing culled from a long, storied career that didn't have the benefits of any amateur experience. He picked up every trick, all the cunning in the world based on the school of hard knocks..and finally earned his PHD in December of 1963. No, he wasn't textbook, rather a hybrid, intuitive type of master wizard of boxing.

 

yes they are

 

Just like you are a real boxing historian.

 

and what about you Christian Ziege? Try too hard intellectual internet geek that just copies what other pompous ring sniffers say when they go against the grain. You don't even come up with the mainstream hating bull**** yourself. You are the most miserable, punchable personality i have ever come across

 

Thank you. I take that as a compliment.
