Who you guys think?
Because i left Hopkins out, the others in now assigned to him... So if you pick 'others', your actually picking Hopkins.
Sorry about this.
Have you even seen Chagaev fight?
You should watch his fights against Valuev, Ruiz and Virchis....Chagaev showed great counter punching in all of those fights.
I really like Chagaev, he's my favourite heavy.
What's his story at the moment?
I must be one of the few people impressed by his performance against Skelton. He ripped some sick hooks on the inside. He also outlasted Skelton; who is a limited boxer but has world-class conditioning.
you're full of shit as usual. even at this age toney is the best counter puncher at HW and of all timeAre you kidding? Did you see Toney against Fres Oquendo? His counter punching skills are completely gone.
Ruslan Chagaev is the best counter puncher in the heavyweight division
I agree.....Ibragimov aint too bad either.......he had ya boy Wlad scared to let the right hand go for most of the night.
hmm quicker fighters have natural advatage so fighters like RJJ and mayweather are naturally good at countering shots. RJJ in particular as his hands a re so quick thathe can counter you in one and you're down.
can't believe that ppl have eben mentioned james toney, granted hes not quite at his peak but he can counter his oppoents flurries all day long.
hopkins has slowly developed a really good style for counter-punching, in fact his counter punching skills ae now not that far off toney's.
overall though i think JMM takes it, the guy is a technician in the ring and has mad skillz.
Probably JMM,
But RJJ had the most powerful counters in that list... he could KO guys with 1 counter.
JMM is the best at it though...
Hop Mayweather RJJ n Wink come close after
I personally think prime MAB would beat JMM in his own game.
i agree. both are good counterpunchers, JMM's ability is highlighted though only because this is his main game, while MAB mix brawls beautifully w/ counterpunching. i personally like to watch mab more than jmm. too much counterpunching is boring.
