Who is the boxer who had the greatest timing?

[SBleeder]

Rocky Marciano. He knew exactly when to retire.

[Ray Corso]

...and why was that? Ray

[Cardinal Buck]

Floyd Mayweather

[Kid Achilles]

Mayweather, Arguello, Tunney, Loughran, Ali, Louis

All the great technicians...

I'll say this for Emmanuel Augustus Burton, he may not have been an all around great fighter but he had a great sense of timing too.

Sugar Ra by a mile..the only boxer who could time a punch stepping in or stepping back, and still knock you out with either hand...a fabolous counter puncher as well as offensive fighter.

Joe Louis had a great sense oftiming too, most of his knock outs came from eerily well timed punch.

And lastly ali's knock out of Foreman had to more to do with George being tired than Ali knocking him out.

Of course. Ali didn't need to actually hit or time Foreman. The KO would have happened without Ali ever hitting Foreman.

Muhammad Ali then Floyd Mayweather & Pernell Whitiaker. No one else is as great as these.

Of course. Ali didn't need to actually hit or time Foreman. The KO would have happened without Ali ever hitting Foreman.

It did though. The African wind knocked Foreman over, you little ****.

Timing..Joe Louis for one, he was not rated #1 puncher ever for nothing. Such perfect punching technique, no wasted movements and could generate so much power with such short punches. The footwork helped him out a lot though.

Tyson and Ali too, and for the smaller guys I think Arguello.

Apparently you're too ****** to understand sarcasm.
