ATG Fighters Who Had Little To No Defence?

Well???????????????????

Henry Armstrong.

He would just constantly move forward and punch. Talk about toughness.

[Jim Jeffries]

I'm sure Marciano's name will come up. Though it wasn't quite that bad.



A couple of them are a bit funny.

armstrong's defense was good on the inside. he smothered a lot of punches with his shoulders and generally bulled his man around so that he couldn't get his punches off. he looks incredibly strong on tapes. i don't know if he ever fought anyone who could back him up.

You wouldn't get any real ATG's with no defence at all, you don't really get to that level without soem sort of defence. But there are some who were lacking in traditional defence and instead used smothering tactics or constant rhythmic forward movement to deflect or take the edge off shots, like LaMotta, Marciano, Armstrong etc

Sandy Saddler.

How bad do you feel it actually was?

None at all, all just little to none?

None outside of clinching and the occasional parry. Archie Moore wanted to teach him some defense but Saddler wasn't interested. He along with his cousin **** Saddler weren't interested in teaching George Foreman any defense either.

Interesting? Did Archie say that in his book?
