Kirkland-Margarito would be one holy shit heck of a fight, BTW
Right, Kirkland is the opposite of a counter puncher. The guy throws 85 punches a round, coming forward incessantly. He's a swarmer. *maybe...
I'll check him out, cheers.
Final amended list 1) Pac 2) Donaire 3) Bute 4) Martinez 5) Pirog 6) Marquez 7) Vitali 8) Dawson 9) Ward T) Montiel
Also - what people do with their feet/the geography of the ring can be misleading. Some lead-volume punchers move around the ring (Calzaghe/welter...
I think people are getting temperament and style mixed up. They aren't the same.
I don't even know what the term means, tbh :lol: If James Toney, who regularly threw north of 70 shots and had guys like Jirov & Charles Williams...
To me these labels can be really misleading. I don't see any major similarities in the style of Marquez and 00's Hopkins say. I see none at all...
In fairness to Mike he was barely 3 fights out of jail, a certain leeway with that one seems in order. (Although when you pretend to be a 'world...
Because he's going to jail and generally shows no inclination of ever fighting again. Fuck Floyd Mayweather I'm sick of the sight and sound of his...
Except 160 is now not 160. He's fought several guys who were middleweights in the ring.
Head movement leaves your hands free, simple as that. Taken to it's paradigmatic extreme, blocking without head movements leaves you with guys...
MMA provides a few useful exaggerated analogies to understanding boxing strategy, IMO. In this case you might imagine the most skillful boxer in...
Yup, that's the issue.
I commented that I agreed with one of your messages between the lines - that Vitali Klitschko's boxing technique is actually good, despite looking...
6 developments in boxing strategy I see 1) Increased use of distance & movement 2) much more clinching and stink 3) more pity pat & shoe shine...
I just deleted that post, sorry :lol: I'm gonna come back to this thread when I have more organised thoughts on it. UGTK's post was a bit multi...
Marquez is 37 and two weights past his best. And FWIW I replaced Vitali with Lucian Bute. Marquez would still certainly be number 7, at least.
:clapagain:
Is Pac-Shane gonna be on network TV?
Yeah, Mayweather's jab to the body is one of the best punches in the whole sport. Never really seen anything like it.
Unorthodox choices are just what we're looking for here.:kidcool:
I'm gonna be controversial and amend my list (remember based merely on opinion & my eyes) 1) Pac 2) Donaire 3) Martinez 4) Bute. 5) Pirog Pirog...
If Amir Khan is one of the best 5 fighters on earth boxing is dead in the water.
Leaving aside accomplishments & going just with your eyes and your opinions who do you think are the 5 best fighters in the sport today? For me...
Donaire Martinez Bute I think they're the most impressive exponents of counter punching around at the moment. To me Marquez is just a really,...
I'd honestly like to see TLC banned from the boxing forums. Let him post in MMA & TAAA on subjects he has a remotest interest in. Worst troll in...
I'd like a serious answer to this mate, lets not take it down a silly path.:Thumbs:
Excluding Gavilan, all of Ray's most significant opponents were white. Is this a coincidence or were there good black guys around during this...
I'll kick off Tommy Hearns *spit* Amir Khan Ike Quartey Winky Wright
