The Best Fighter that YOU'VE Ever Seen???...

Where the hell have you been?

 

Roy Jones is the best fighter I've ever seen.

The best fighter I've seen fight live...Floyd.

 

You've never seen RJJ live? Where do you live?

 

the best fighter I've ever seen, RJJ.

Ever seen live, Hagler

 

Roy Jones Jr

 

When I say "live" I mean in person.

 

I know. I'm asking why you never went to see him fight.

 

What's up Whiskey.

I've just been busy with work projects. :stir: I've been watching fights and reading threads occasionally, just didn't really have time to post. opcorn:

I'm back for now.

Nice to be back and see all of the familiar names. I still think this is the best place to be for boxing talk. :bears:

 

:bears:artie:

 

I lived in Florida in the mid 90's and could have gone to the Byrd and Thorton fights, but again...it was Byrd and Thornton so I didn't miss much. :laughing:

Plus, at the time was pointless to waste money I needed to save, now I have the discretionary income but Roy is ld:

 

The Thornton fight especially... I didn't even see the punch Roy KO'd him with until the replay.

 

You mean the left hook at the end of the second round? That was a sweet shot.

 

Yep.

 

Sinan SAMIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLL SAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM !!!!

I expected you to comment on why Duran's later career is completely forgiven while JC Chavez gets crucified for things that happened when his career was 80 fights and beyond.

 

I remember you.

5"8" :mj:

Raiders fan. :doh:

 

Well I've 'seen' him, in the same way I've seen every other fighter mentioned in the thread - on a TV screen! And yes, the earliest footage available of Robinson, even if it is a couple years past best is the best fighter I've seen.

 

:kick::doh:

 

Charger SB victories - 0
Broncos SB victories - 2
Raiders SB victories - 3

thanks for playing.

 

:warning:

 

Contrary to popular myth, there is a fair amount of WELTERWEIGHT Surgar Ray Robinson footage available, and I have a good hour or two worth of it

 

Yeah, I was recently corrected on this on a Celtic forum, of all places. You have an hour or two!? Do the world a favour and youtube it! Seriously a lot of people would be very grateful.:bears:

 

Sorry, Hut, unfortunately I am a bit behind the times and don't have anything to upload it onto a computer...

if you want, I could burn it onto DVDs for you?

 

That would be quite superb, cddogg! artie: Do you have a paypal account I can send the money to to cover it?

 

HutHut, you are an old pal so your cost will be NOTHING :kidcool:

just PM your address when you get a chance, give me a couple of weeks and you will be good to go

 

Wow, you're a gent.:bears:

 

Is there any footage of Robby's fights with Kid Gavilan?

 

I try, man:bears:

 

If there is, I dont have it

God I would kill to have that!:bears:

 

Me too. Last night on ESPN Classic it was 3 hours of Robinson footage. It was Ringside: Ray Robinson P4P.

Robinson was incredible. I mean in the way he threw his combos. Just perfect balance, perfect leverage on every punch, power on every punch, and of course the blinding speed. Even though some of the guys they showed him destroying were cans, it was still impressive to watch. I have no doubt at all that if he was prime today NONE between 147-160 would beat him.

With today's divisions, I think his best weight would be 154. Since he was a big welterweight, and a small middleweight. Still he'd no problem at all going to 160, and quite possibly literally killing Pavlik.
