Best peaks of all time

Self explanatory. Which fighters had the most awesome peaks of all time?

The most obvious:

Mid-to-late 90's Jones

Late 80's/early 90's Whitaker

Early 80's Leonard

Late 70's Duran

Late 60's Ali

Late 80's Tyson

Late 80's/early 90's Chavez

Others?

 

08-10 Pacquiao (or around in there)

 

karl hegman was vintage in 1971

 

Buster Douglas, February 1990.

 

Indeed. He put 88-90 Chavez to shame.

 

The Duran 78-80

 

Ezzard Charles 46-48

 

Willie Pep 1942-1947 (pre- plane crash, basically) ... He went 87-1-1 with the one loss coming to a hall of fame lightweight and the draw also coming against a lightweight (whom he knocked out a few fights later) ... During this time he fought and beat essentially every decent known Featherweight around... It wasn't until after the crash, in 1948 that he fought the great Saddler and lost his second fight... By that time his total record from 1940 (when he turned pro) up to that first Saddler fight was a ridiculous 135-1-1

That's a hell of a peak

 

you so white...:loser:

 

Tito had a explosive peak up until the village people dance against Hopkins

 

Ahhh youre funny fucker ain't ya...:ant:

 

If you took Felix Trinidad and multiplied his career times ten, he'd be 1/8 as good as Willie Pep:aye:

 

If the internet was around 1947 there could have been some real debates about who was p4p no1. Charles, Pep & Robinson all right at or near their peak.

 

mayweather, his entire career.

 

Floyd's peak IMO was 05-07.

 

worrrrd

 

The Ring would say Canelo belongs above all 3.

 

:l3:

 

What about mid 80s Curry?

 

He's definitely up there.

Early-to-mid 80's Hagler is up there as well.

So is early-to-mid 80's Mike Spinks.

 

:giggle:

 

Curry for about 2 years, 3 at the most was an incredible fighter, but I don't think that's long enough to be in this class... If he had held it together another year, maybe had one more big win and one more good win, I'd see an argument for him

 

Joe Calzaghe 2005-06

 

"Best Peaks", not "Gayest Peaks":red:

 

While I'd hardly put his peak amongst the very best of all time, Camacho was one helluva fighter 83-85.

 

Camacho was a fraud

He had one impressive win (Ramirez, a real good fighter, who was nonetheless made for him) and a win over a badly faded Bazooka Limon... that's it... Once he got in there with Rosario and was fortunate to escape with a win, his true nature was revealed... He was a front-runner and a bullshitter... Even if you're blown away by him circa 83-85, on what do you base the argument for him being some elite fighter or a fighter with an elite peak? Who'd he fight besides JLR?

 

clogg is pissed his boy whitaker avoided the macho man

 

Damn right.....Cdoggy favorite defensive wizard was terrified of lighting macho......Camacho.

Whitaker would have walked Camacho down and won it going away and then left him as a single mother raising a buttbaby all on her own
