Fury is only the "kingpin" because he beat an aging lineal champ that fought a terrible fight. Leon Spinks did that too...and the division wasn't...
I think I'm looking forward to this one more than any other film this year. It has suddenly topped Civil war and X men. Can't wait!
Of course...but humans being humans expect a strong man to look muscular.
What's with you guys automatically picking guys from the 50s and 60s over contemporary fighters? lol Athletes are getting better, not worse. I...
Ernie Shavers was explosive and heavy handed without being fast.
Marciano was more heavy handed than Explosive, truth be told. That one punch KO of Walcott was rare for Marciano...he more often than not simply...
Pac was certainly not what I would call explosive. Explosive is like Hearns, Jackson....when those punches land you're like...
Antonio Margarito was heavy handed without having seriously concussive power. Manny Pacquiao, however, is a law onto himself. We need to create...
Hagler was all blunt force trauma....but he lacked Armour piercing bullets.
Ruddock is explosive without exceptional handspeed and Duran was heavy handed without being slow. There is, however, somewhat of a correlation...
I'd say Kelly Pavlik was heavy handed without being explosive whereas Nigel Benn was all TNT and no blunt force trauma
Donovan Ruddock was explosive but not heavy handed whereas Frank Bruno was Heavy handed but not explosive.
Yup...Zab Judah too, arguably.
Good examples...I agree for the most part and I can accept what you're saying about Arguello.
Perhaps, but it'll be Mythical. Pavlik only ever lost once to a Middleweight...Lamotta's ACTUALLY been beaten numerous times at Middleweight and...
I dunno man...I see Pavlik beating Jake the fuck down.
I agree with you...and I think it's especially apparent against Kevin Kelly...but I can see why people choose to see that he was all explosiveness.
I can except the arguments regarding Hamed. Y'all make good points there. good discussion.
He doesn't have to be Robinson to beat Lamotta. Lamotta had been beaten by many other guys. MANY!
People forget that Lamotta lost to a whole bunch of bums as well as giving Robinson his first defeat. Also you must consider that Pavlik would...
Weight doesn't tell you everything about size though. James Toney sometimes weighted 230lbs or more in the ring. Was he as big as the Bowe that...
No way. Being a greater name doesn't necessarily translate to being better head to head. Pavlik is so much bigger than LaMotta it's unreal. It's...
Xplosive I think you and I agree on Duran based upon what you just said. I agree that Duran hits harder than Chavez...but as you said, you cannot...
I reserve the term "explosive puncher" for a guy that was a one punch lights out specialist...even at lightweight Duran wasn't that. All fighters...
The Bronx Bull vs The Ghost Of Course LaMotta is an all time great. he was the first man to beat the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson and was a man...
Is Grant's size and athletic blackness enough to win this or does Dempsey treat him like Jess Willard?
What happens here and how and why?
Yes they do! [img]
Yup, Broner can't do anything to Taylor at 140 or 147. Pretty much a mismatch.
You touched on a good point: "effortless power". Heavy handed guys seem to just produce power without loading up. Still...Hamed and Jackson though...
