Who was the best offensive fighter in history

[MRBOOMER]

Taylor had fast hands and a lot of heart. But he doesn't belong in the top 100 if you were to make an actual list.

Great then you got your next thread top 100 offensive fighters or maybe 10

I don't make lists. But if you are talking about boxing history, I'd be surprised if anyone here would put Taylor in the top 100 and shocked if he showed up in a top 10. But if you insist, I'm sure I could quickly come up with 10-20 better offensive fighters than Meldrick Taylor.

Lol well hey if you read when I made the thread he fits sum of the things..

Mike Tyson deserves a mention but his lack of a real inside game hurts him. Felix Trinidad was an offensive monster. Aaron Pryor used his non stop offense as a defence and for the most part it worked damn well. Henry Armstrong, a true force. Tony Ayala Jnr, a Young Barrera, damn so many. My personal pick would be Joe Louis tho, full offensive package

Greb did lack power though.

Greb was no power puncher but his always brought the fight to his opponent and most of his big fights were dominant landslide wins.

That's where I was going when I mentioned him.

He may not have been a brutal power puncher but by God was he an incredible offensive fighter.

I think Mike Tyson's inside game is underrated by most Historians.

He wasn't amazing on the inside and wasn't even an inside fighter like a Joe Fraizer he wore you down with chopping body shots to take you out down the line.

But Mike Tyson can fight inside, well. JMO.

Of course of course, there is no doubt he was the Henry Armstrong of his era (another choice) I'm just mentioning he didn't have the Power of say Robinson or Hearns.
He was obviously a pressure fighter who wore you down.

In offense that's a large factor, so it's like Joe Frazier for toughness he has everyhting but, his chin lets him get bested by the likes of LaMotta, Basilio, Hagler etc.

"lack" was defintely a bad word to use.

He didn't have Great power though which is his only downfall.*

I feel like he was very dangerous inside as he could rip away with turbo bursts of heavy shots with his short arms. But then i do feel for the most part he just didnt. He imo just let a guy tie him up or didnt work enough on the inside where it should have clearly been Tyson territory. Still i think his opponents knew how dangerous he was short range and hence didnt work inside all that much either

Mike Tyson didn't do a hellish lot on the inside and wasn't great there in my opinon.

There's a video where Rooster4Life really explained it but, his channel got deleted.
