seriously, you clearly know a lot more about the past fighters than me! I would like to comment on some but they would be ignorant comments! nice post man
surprised no one said joe louis. kessler didn't have the best jab but it was damn good and threw one of the smoothest 1-2 combinations i've seen in a while when he was in his prime.
Cool stuff, man. How big is Winstone over there? Highly regarded? I consider him to be one of the best Featherweights of his era, and that was a stacked period. Arguably the best example of a pure boxing technician I can think of. Unfortunately he had the misfortune of fighting during the same era as one of the greatest champions of the last 50 years in Vicente Saldivar. Their second fight is one of my favourites.
