You favourite boxers and why?

Any favourite's from yesteryear ? Greb, Langford, Leonard, Gans, etc, .

 

I'm not that educated going faaar back as I haven't watching enough of them...
But I like Foreman, Leonard, Smokin Joe

More recent James Toney is my favorite

 

Current it's Usyk, Loma, Inoue. Three unique, accomplished, and great fighters.

 

Ask anyone about calcium & sulphur It theyd tested Moselys wraps the result would be the same. Both are ingredients of human sweat. Oh so now youre accusing Margarito of being a Ped's abuser too now are you ROFLMAO. Antonio was 100% innocent never needed Ped's to win like Fluffy Floyd & Clen boy

 

First off, you cannot say for sure Mosely's wraps/pads would have had the same substances as Margarito's. So stop with the BS. Secondly, it's more likely if Margarito's wraps were used, as Capitillo stated, they would come up dirty. Lastly, the rules for hand wraps are exact. The rules do not make allowances for anything other than gauze and tape.

You claim that the powers that be wanted to destroy Marrgarito? What would have happened if everything was new, never used? Would the corrupt officials have made something up? If so, why would they say the the substances found in the first place were in such small quantities? Doesn't make sense. And yes. Margarito should be lumped in the same group as cheats.

10 fights prior to being caught, 7 stoppages. 0 stoppages after being caught. That speaks volumes in my book.

 

Do you know anything about the wrapping of a fighters hands? Obviously not. Its nothing to do with the wrapping. The trainer makes a small pad of gauze which he places over the fighters knuckles to protect them then finishes the wraps. All under the scrutiny of the State insp & the oppositions rep. Javier had already made up the pads ready. He mistakenly picked up a used one, which trainer throw in their bag instead of a new one. The CSAC Insp Loumis watched all this , passed the wrap & signed off on it. Only then did Naz start his regular BS. complaining about the opponents wraps. That's when the pantomime started
Instead of counting Tony's stoppage wins ask yourself this ..What happened to the "PLASTER BLOCKS"
Naz claimed fell from the wrap? They mysteriously disappeared or were just a figment of Naz's imagination
what happened to the" plaster like substance" smeared on the pad? The lab doing the testing never mentioned any " white substance " at all Wonder why Louis claimed he saw it after the wrap was removed but never saw it when he watched the wrapping???
The State Commission had not one iota of proof Margarito had tried to do anything wrong BUT being as they are a law unto themselves they took away Tony's boxing licence preventing him from earning a living for 2 1/2 years. Tarnishing his good name & ruining his career. No courts were involved Only the kangaroo court ,the CSAC, used to take Margarito's licence , ruin his career & good name. Why did they do it ?? To try to save face they were looking like fools believing a pack of lies

Have you never heard of anyone trying to cover their ass?? That's exactly what the CSAC were trying to do to cover up their faux pas in believing Naz's fairy story & acting on it

 

Nah. Too much of a coincidence for me. The one time the wrong pads were used is when Naz and all the corrupt officials decide to screw Margarito? LOL. Nice try, but not buying it. Your boy is guilty. Just another cheater like Canelo, Mayweather and Fury, only much poorer. LOL

 

Roberto Duran, just because

 

I give up Youre too damn thick to see it. They tried to cover their asses they knew they'd screwed up acting on Naz's blatant lie & suspending Tony. Screw the fact they ruined a good fighters career & tarnished his name.
After all his name wasn't Mayweather or Alvarez was it ? Gotta look after the cash cows

 

Usyk - for all the reasons others have stated in this thread + he seems to just fight quality opposition without any drawn out negotiation sagas replete with social media BS. I'm sure he'd fight Fury in a ring set up in the car park of his local pub, if that was what it took to make the fight.

Makhmudov and Kossobutskiy - I like their attitude in the ring and out of it. They seem to be just doing it - getting the job done. I like watching their fights and really want to see them in with someone at a level who will test and trouble them.

Huni - He's Australian, he has time on his side, he's trying to be active, not afraid to take on tough fights.

 

Katsuya Onizuka, Khaosai Galaxy, Khaokor Galaxy, Shinsuke Yamanaka, Marvin Hagler, René Jacquot, Marcel Cerdan, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, Muangchai Kittikasem, Joe Frazier, Mohamed Ali, Foreman, Ken Norton.

Recently I reviewed Pichit Sithbanprachan I can assure you that he is enormously underrated I have rarely seen such power. These opponents have all lost their primes by meeting him in the ring.

 

the older i get the more wierd my 'core' boxing idols seem to be. almost all unrelated style wise, area, attitude, quality, eras...not on a hipster ting. but wierdly bring a primordial grin to my face.

Roberto Duran
Joel Casamayor
Terry Norris
James Toney
Orlando Canizales

(sometimes Jerry Quarry)

and of course many others.

don't know what makes me tick when i watch them. i think its the progressive, creative foreward movement while also being very human. cagey but incredibly technical and setting the fight up in the way they want.
