For REED there's 1 that Stands APART from the Rest & his Name is Aaron Pryor...REED Can Watch Practically ANY of his Pre-Retirement Bouts ANYTIME, & B Entertained...

Others, N No Particular Order

Tommy Hearns
YOUNG George Foreman
Sonny Liston
Wilfredo Gomez
Manny Pac
Arturo Gatti
Cassius Clay
Crusier & Early Heavyweight Holyfield
Mike Tyson
Naseem Hamed



REED

 

:: Instigator.

Hearns wasn't THAT china-chinned...that gets exaggerated.

But yeah, that's part of the excitement....but it's really his offense and aggression that are awesome to watch.

Peace.

 

True...

Tommy Wasn't Augie Sanchez, Jason Litzau or Junior Jones, but he WAS Pretty Damned VULNERABLE N the Whiskers...

@ Best, REED Would Rate Tommy's Chin a "C"...His POWER, SPEED & BOXING Ability were all "A's", but his Chin was AVERAGE @ the Very Best...Perhaps even SLIGHTLY Below Average...


REED

 

Agreed. Offensive fighters with sub par chins are always entertaining to watch. Tommy Morrison, Terry Norris and to a lesser extent Rafael Marquez. All fun to watch.

 

He wouldn't be exciting if he were watching paint dry...

 

How could I forget Norris? Great guy to watch.

 

I don't know. :warning:

 

Troy Dorsey.

You knew anytime Dorsey fought, by a minute into the first round, he'd be covered in blood with one of his eyeballs hanging from it's socket.


TFK

 

Gene Hatcher.

 

Peter Simko

 

::

his chin was roy-esque.

 

Personally, these are some of the fighters I'd say have the LEAST rewatch value. All made great fights on the night because there was tons of drama and action but when you already know the result that doesn't really make a fight more rewatchable to me. Watching a fight live is like being in a club - some exciting, high tempo, basic music is great - rewatching a fight is more like putting a record on at home - I want something more interesting I can get my teeth into.
:bears:
I can never rewatch Gatti-Ward for instance I get bored as fuck after 90 seconds and reach for a Sweet Pea tape.::

 

I prefer the fights to the fighters, if I come in late after being out I'll stick on a fight or two inevitably...last weekend I watched Holyfield-Cooper, Brown-Trice and Pacquaio-Marquez 2. Agreed with hut hut though, Ward-Gatti is low on the list of fights I'd watch-I'd put it alongside Muriqi-Ahmad, a fun fight that doesn't have much rewatchability value. Am sure plenty disagree though.

 

Tommy Hearns
Diego Corrales
Mike Tyson
Aaron Pryor
Terry Norris (terrible is right)
Vinny Paz
Roy Jones Jr.
Matthew Saad Muhammad
Ricardo Mayorga
Arturo Gatti
Manny Pacquaio

the list can really go on forever.

 

I'll only try to list those I haven't seen already:

Shane Mosley
Felix Trinidad
Johnny Tapia
