Top 5 flippity floopy fighters

why doesn't cotto qualify?

you prefer andre dirrell?

 

I just don't think he fits all the criteria to be flippity floopy.

 

Ok, Ok...

1. Naseem Hamed
2. Jorge Paez
3. Johnny Tapia
4. Terrance Alli
5. ...and there was one other fighter who I can't think of who tried to do a back flip off the ring corner ropes and landed on his face.::

 

btw, mosley, taylor, lacy, not even hopkins are flippity floopy fighters. so don't pretend this has one iota to do with race :nono:

 

True.

 

Surely Monte Barrett entered into the Flippity Floop hall of fame after his ringwalk extravaganza against Haye?

 

Where does Trentan Titsworth fit into all of this?

 

in the cleavage

 

Surprised to see Tyson @ so many peoples #1.
It's easy to look like a Flippity floopy fighter when you're fighting tomato cans.

Duran showed flashes of Flippity floopy-ness early on in his career, but it tended to dissapate as e moved up in weight.

Interestingly, the same could be said for trinidad, although (and I know this is controversial), IMHO he showed, if not Flippity floopy-ness against RJJ, then definately flashes of drippity dropy-ness-the likes of which I hadn't seen since the Hopkins fight.

BTW Hopkins is a rare example of a guy who can switch from Flippity floopy-ness to drippity dropy-ness mid-fight.-I can't imagine anything more confusing for an apponent, & it really isn't something you can teach-It's innate.
We've all heard corners on many occasions pleading with their fighters to "change it up"-"you've got him-all u have to do is get Flippity floopy in there & he's yours!"-Sometimes it's almost as if the fighter doesn't know what the hell the corner man is talking about

-We saw a prime example of that in Hattons corner against PBF (who gets a lot of credit for Flippity floopy-ness, but for me what passes for Flippity floopy-ness with PBF is border-line illegal & he wouldn't have gotten away with it in SRR's day, whom anyone who knows anything about boxing would havetoo admit was the master of "Flippity floopy-ness")

-You just have to watch his fight's with LaMotta-Lets face it-It's not rocket surgery

 

my criteria is fighters who flip flop between orthodox and southpaw. what is yours?

 

Hopkins.

 

Agreed.
-He can also switch from Flippity floopy-ness to drippity dropy-ness mid-fight just to confuse an opponent-Very versatile fighter. As I said B4-It's something that cannot be taught.
