Who was the greatest offensive boxer in history?

Less power and Tyson had quicker combos.

 

Missed too many shots and was very crude and raw.

 

Duran, Hearns or Robinson, Robi was a master at everything and threw brilliant combos, Hearns may have had the great jab of all time and a savage 1-2, Tyson was awesome too.

 

The only right answer is the guy who they called Smokin'.

 

Ray Robinson was amazing he would throw seven and eight punch combos to the head and body mixing a wide variety of punches and all thrown with great speed and all with the intent of knocking the other guy out.

 

Bit redundant of a question. Most ATGs, actually the vast majority of ATGs were guns blazing offensive minded fighters.

 

When we are talking overall offensive style most probably some boxers from featherweight class.

If we are talking a sudden single explosive punch i guess wilder. Most powerful combinations i would say iron mike.

 

Henry Armstrong
Roberto Duran
Aaron Pryor
Manny Pacquiao
Mike Tyson
Joe Frazier
Jack Dempsey
Sugar Ray Robinson
Joe Louis

 

From what I’ve read Harry Greb came to mind. They use to call him the Pittsburgh Windmill and according to newspaper articles and biographies threw punches from start to finish.


Other fighters I thought of were Frazier, Marciano, Duran, Armstrong

Iron Mike,

I'd say Hagler is a close second.

 

For me personally, I like a fighters natural offensive/aggression to start at his core, his mindset.

Fighters like Mike, Foreman, Liston, Hagler, Benn, etc had this in- built aggressive and destructive mentality at their core. In essence, nasty buggers.

With this type of fighter, win, lose or draw they were always exciting regarding aggression and offence.

I'm a big fan of JoeJoyce who naturally has a nice personality and who I think could be even a better offensive fighter if he had say, Foreman, or Mike's killer streak mentality.

 

Robinson,
Pac,
Hearns,

In no order at all.

 

Max Kellerman

 

I can only see 1 choice that being Armstrong, have seen multiple films of his fights, and have not seen him take a backward step.
stay safe guys.
