I finally got around to getting back to the page to found out. "She" was actually once a "he" but does look a bit better now. You would have known this of course
At heavyweight, Joe Louis and Lennox Lewis were extremely versatile and could throw every punch in the book. Joe didn't have the aid of modern fighters that he could watch dvd quality fights on all of his opponents pre-fights, so his best adaptations came in rematches (in which he's 10-0). At lower weight, Robinson, Duran, Mayweather, Leonard, Monzon.
My selections exactly. Lennox Lewis should be appreciated more then he is, as he had twin levels of greatness in punching AND boxing. Take the Tua fight as an example. I know he disappointed many by letting the fight go the distance for the decision as he did, but he must have sensed the futility as well as the danger of just standing there winging bombs at the Tuaman's chin just to put a 'ko' on his record, so he reverted to plan "B" and boxed the socks off his man, which shows versatility as well as a great boxing head. Lewis' deadly power was tempered somewhat by his natural cautious streak and control, which is an attribute that some of the greater fighters of history had that carried them through to victory.
Fair call - to be fair to Lewis it was actually up to Tua to take some risks and lay it on the line as he was losing the fight comfortably but he chose to play it safe i think.
that ive seen enough of to make an honest pick would be leonard.ive only seen about 25-30 srr fights.
Seen in my era? Chavez, Whitaker, prime Tyson, motivated Lewis... Julio Cesar Vazquez. Seen on film? Joe Louis, Robinson, Armstrong, Duran, Monzon (it was like he hypnotized his opponents into submission), '66 Ali.
Th best fighter the most complete fighter has to be Roy Jones. No one else compares. he was too fast to counter. he was so fast that his right hand would connect before the opponent's left jab ever unwound. And no man can ever compare in the catagory of combinations. There will never be another Roy Jones in our lifetime. You can bet on it. Also a young Camacho. I love Camacho. His style was light years ahead of it's time. How ironic that his style was so brilliant for one so incredibly immature and unbalanced. he could also be incredibly dirty as well. I believe he was told to curb the dirty tactics after the Loy fight. I would have to agree to some extent he wasted at least a couple of good years but no one wanted to fight him while he was at the top of his game, he was that good. As for the rumours that Rosario changed his style, that's all it is, a rumour started by some jackass that doesn't recognize brilliance when he sees it. I have to laugh at these comments on Youtube bragging as if Rosario actually won the fight. atsch A young Ray Robinson is also a good choice. Unfortunately there aren't enough film of him in action while at his best. Boxing people arent very smart or quick to recognize greatness unitl long AFTER it's passed them by. This is why you have film on Walker, Johnson, Ketchel, Pep, but no Greb and little on Robinson.
