If you had to pick one fighter in any era or weight class that is your absoulute favorite. Who would it be ? And something you will never forget about them.
My absoulute number 1 would have to be Sugar shane mosley when he was fighting at lightweight , he was absoulutley unstoppable.
Remember you can only pick 1
Just to have a record like that is awesome all in itself .
HE was never knocked down either right ?
he was knocked down twice: in the 1st in his first fight with walcott and in the 2nd in his fight with moore. but he went on to KO walcott with one vicious right hand and went on to knock down moore 5 times en route to a KO victory.
rocky marciano
undefeated, 49-0 with 43 KOs, KOd joe louis (8th round, past his prime), jersey joe walcott (twice, 13th and 1st round KOs), ezzard charles (in the rematch), roland lastarza (in the rematch, brutal), and archie moore (9th round).
best heavyweight chin, awsome power, perpetual stamina, endless heart and courage, underrated technique (bobbing & weaving, countering, and feinting), and was a helluva nice guy.
hail to my king, Rocky Marciano!
I would have to say Gatti comeing back when ppl counted him out after the loss to De La Hoya, to run through Millet and have those great 3 fights w/ Micky Ward and then getting to be a champ at 2 different weight classes by beating Branco, which I was there live for, Gatti hurting his hand in round 5 and then putting Branco on the canvas in rd 10, just awesome. You Corrales fans talk of heart and ur boy may have it, but the definetion of heart is Arturo "Thunder" Gatti
ALso I am really enjoyin John Duddy's rise to the top, seeing him KO Kevin Rooneys hot prospect Lenoard Pierre in the 1st round was amazing then seeing him live at the Garden w/ 1500 screaming Irish fans cheering him on to win his 10 match, amazing!
hmm
Roy Jones.
In his prime and in his era, he is the only fighter who I would say could beat any fighter in any weight class.
Roy had quick feet, surprising power, and ferocious speed. I love when he threw a 46-punch combo on Tony Thornton. He sent 6 left hooks bouncing off someone's dome in 2 seconds. He could take a punch in his prime. Roy was just a picasso in there. Beat Hopkins and Toney sweepingly, and just flat-out domniated Ruiz in a way that no one has (too bad it wasn't enough to get rid of that focker).
Also Roy lives close to me and I met him at KFC. LOL...nice guy. Had a huge sack of chicken.
I have his entire career on dvd. For people that judge Roy of is losses at an advanced age, do yourself a favor and watch his earlier years. He was not a God. No fighter ever was or ever will be a God. Roy was just super-human.
Honestly Trinidad and De La Hoya are the exact same guy but just in parallel universes. Theres no difference in terms of class between the two.
Agreed, evenly matched. Tito has more power and strength, Oscar has more fundamentals.
I don't wanna get messed up in a PR-Mexicano battle, but I will add my input. De La Hoya has never and will never be on Felix Trinidad's level.
Incorrect...

What are you talking about men have you seen their fight? not on his level :bryce: :bling1: :nana: :buttkick:

Statements like this are ridiculous Fuego, I would not say that Tito has never and will never be on Oscar's level...
Fact is they are very close in terms of legacy, very close...anyone saying that one blows the other out of the water is a retard, are you a retard Fuego?
Let me put your quote in perspective, saying Oscar is not even close to Tito in terms of class or legacy is like saying that Glenn Johnson blew Antonio Tarver out of the water in the first fight. That statement would be ridiculous because the fight could have gone either way just like OScar and Tito...saying one is far superior over the other is just being dumb....
Fuego are you dumb?
lol i was like wtf too
isnt odd we are all weirded out when someone talks abotu the actually topic of the thread
Exactly. All this drama and sister fucking has made me forget the damn topic. Yeah..ok RJJ good choice.
