Who Should I Do A 'The Thread' On?

Another good list of top notch fighters.

 

I second the DeJesus nomination.

 

Jeremy Williams a Big Heavyweight, but NOT A S-HW, could he have won the title, just how good was he once broken down. a skilled and enjoyable fighter... lets have a good look.

 

Together-----
McTigue Delaney Berlenbach Slattery with a lead in from Siki.

 

Well I like and respect your insights and breakdowns so I would be interested in just about any you choose.

I would be interested in
Modern:
Vic Darchinyan

or the past
Michael Spinks

or way back
Basilio

Or just kidding lol
Andre Ward

 

Hmm
Bob Satterfield
Rex Layne
Eddie Booker* doesn’t fit ur criteria but never ever hear his name mentioned on classic for such a good fighter.
Oh and maybe Rocky Marciano there aren’t enough threads about him yet

 

Greb. Go find some footage. I'm sure some greedy collector has footage but keeps it only to himself.
If not, then do Kid Gavillan.

 

I’ve searched high and low for a Michael Spinks film study and can never find one

 

Definitely won’t be bored with Bob Satterfield

 

Johnny Nelson (srs)

A really good one.

 

Would love to see something on any of the following. Not obscure fighters, just nothing written on them in ages.

Lou Nova
Bob Baker
Toluco Lopez
Jesus Pimental
Nel Tarleton
Alfredo Urbina
Mando Ramos
Chango Carmona
Ayub Kalule
Rory Calhoun
Jesse Burnett

 

Lets get into someone that gets infinitely more press for his out of the ring accusations rather than his boxing - Rubin Carter. Watching him on film he had some serious old school skills going on too. He can box some, he can punch some. Shoulder rolls, slips, parries, counters and all that power. A full array of punches. A solid chin.

The guy had two amazing blink of the eye stoppages over Fernandez and Griffith. He also beat a superb technician in Benton over the distance and Benton was on a hot streak including a win over Giardello.

What was holding him back? Was there something missing in his game? Was it outside the ring issues? Tough tough era? What about if he came through in the Minter/Antuofermo/Sibson era and there was no Hagler? Other era's?

Very short career so it wouldn't take you much time to get done. Enough footage to give a good summation.
