Which boxing legends do you recommend me to watch their career?

seek out some mike mccallum. i've always thought you can learn a lot about boxing from closely observing his fights. very subtle, intelligent fighter

All good choices. But why only legends? Watch the fights of their opponents too. That's how you really learn about the sport and get a better perspective on why those fights were so highly anticipated at the time.

Ray Leonard had a fascinating career. I think following his would teach you almost every aspect of the sport.

casius clay/muhammad ali..... one and the same boxing greatest of all time.... the young casius/ali have predicted with uncanny accuracy the rounds he will take out his opponents... he is still the most revered and well known boxing figure...

Bolivia, Remember this: HVY.-wt. div. is the Crown Jewels of all Boxing. So, dig into that history, and you will be fascinated. Other than that you should aa) follow the current scene. And (bb) try and get back issues of Ring magazine/ Any Boxing magazines. Read one magazine. Find your story! Boxing IS a "Name game" so........ I'm -LUCKY- I have my "personal interactive" history! That's unique/ personal. Back to HVY.-wt. champs.....AFTER MICHAEL DOKES-MIKE WEAVER TITLE GETS HARDER TO FOLLOW . HVY.-wt. history you have J.L.SULLIVAN -thru- TOMMY BURNS & THEN, JACK JOHNSON THRU MUHAMMAD ALI. Believe me I have that history memorized! Text me at times I'll reply during the day when I have the time and switch you up or off on FIGHTER NAMES IF YOU LIKE! Mention us to start here at BoxingScene 860-515-7680 John Wilkinson name04@iCloud.com. Last: my top-5 mega stars on now: (No order) Andre Ward 175lbs., Sergy Kovelev 175lbs., Saul Alvarez 160lb., Gennady Golovkin 160lb.*// Manny Pacquiao 147lb. ("Retired") *this boxer "slight problem" Admin wise the guy isn't "advised well" & is holder of =illegal= ("fake") Ibo bauble

Roy Jones Jr. was as close to untouchable as you can get, in his prime. Barrera, Morales and Pacquiao deserve an entire section of their own (obviously Morales was the best idc idc)... I always like Terry Norris despite his chinny chin chin

I recommend Sugar Ray Leonard, ATG, involved in multiple FOTY contenders, and in my opinion the best fighter of the modern era. The greatest fighter I have ever seen also

I've watched the trilogy against Pacquiao, the trilogy against Barrera, the fight against Maidana and the 2 fights against Danny García. Any more fight worth watching of him? Thanks. Both fights with Guty Espadas.

As good as Toney is. People forget that Nunn was ****ing him up in that fight. Was making easy work of him and....... bam Lights Out lol. He was a great fighter and imo one of the better ones I've seen in the ring. Sad to see what happened with him. most definitely....damned drugs!!!!! Looking back, he was playing with Toney and that was his downfall. He languished in front and was punching with him instead of using his legs, angles and jabs like the begining. even then toney had a great defense. I watched it recently and a lot of shots were hitting shoulders, gloves and elbows.

highly underrated and forgotten. Growing up he was the middleweight champ and that toney ko was a shocker. Thought he'd be one of the greatest ever. He was like a southpaw, middleweight Ali.

Bite your tounge. Johnny is a God! =) Anyways to add a few more names I did'nt see people mention. James Toney Mike McCallum Michael Nunn highly underrated and forgotten.

Bite your tounge. Johnny is a God! =) Anyways to add a few more names I did'nt see people mention. James Toney Mike McCallum Michael Nunn lol, Tapia is one of my favorites & Toney is a good pick, loved the way he clowned people in the ring (tongue out), heard his gym wars were better than some of his actual fights.

I wounldnt say Johnny Tapias a legend but I wouldnt say he isnt either but HBO did a cool lil docu/movie on him, check it out than watch a few of his fights, they were fun to watch and after watching the documentary youll appreciate them more.

-Mike Tyson Best Technical Richardo Lopez. Best head movement slipping punches Vintage Mike Tyson 1985 to 1989 best Trash talker Ali , Watch Early Roy Jones fast as hell so was Meldrick vs Chavez good fight. Salvador Sanchez vs Wilferdo Gomez Tommy Hearns Sugar Ray Alexis Arguello vs Arron Pryor, Boom Boom Mancani Vs Arguello , Julian Jackson knocks out than he gets knock out by The G-Man . Ron Lyle are all action fights someone always goes down Ron Lyle vs George Foreman that was a hell of a fight. If you want to go to sleep watch Mayweather Please I need advice of the fighters that I should watch. Which ones do you recommend me? Thanks in advance.

I've been a fan of the sport since December of 2012, so to say I've missed a lot of great fights. I'm 22 and I want to enjoy the careers (the best fights) of the great boxers I've missed chronologically. I've thought to start with these: -Óscar de la Hoya -Julio César Chávez -Mike Tyson Please I need advice of the fighters that I should watch. Which ones do you recommend me? Thanks in advance.

Lots of names. Some guys I'd say have most influenced my enjoyment of boxing. Roy Jones - better than anyone I've seen when he was at his best James Toney Ricardo Lopez - one of the best technical boxers I've ever seen, he should have a How To Box video series Muhammad Ali - many historic fights Floyd Mayweather Manny Pacquiao Evander Holyfield Diego Corrales - many fun fights Arturo Gatti - many many fun fights Pernell Whitaker Michael Carbajal Naseem Hamed Jorge Paez (Sr.) Gerald McClellan Nigel Benn Shane Mosley Ray Leonard Tommy Hearns Roberto Duran Marvin Hagler Dude you're in another thread being anti cheater and here you're recommending him a couple cheaters.

I would say try and watch a few highlights of Joe Louis on YouTube ....compilation of his greatest knock outs....terrifying power Roberto Duran Evander Holyfield Erik morales Those 3 are iconic

Thanks in advance. watch Roy Jones in his prime. Innovative style, had the basics down, and one of the rare fighters with speed and legit one punch power. Only fighter to not get hit in a full round. KO's behind his back, etc. Also.....hector camacho, meldrick taylor, Terry norris if youre into aggressive speedsters hilario zapata, willie, pep, niccolino locche if you into defense specialist punchers check out earner shavers, joe louis, bob foster, julain jackson for the other styles ricardo lopez, henry armstrong, tony canzoneri. If you need more let me know

Tito Trinidad, a skinny dude with no muscles knocking guys out. Will make u wonder where the hell does fighters power come from. Watch his career in this order, vs Blocker then campas then vs dlh and every fight after that one.
