Originally posted by McGoorty View PostThanks Iron Dan Hamza and Battling Nelson, two blokes I always enjoyed in this forum and forum friends to boot. Maybe I can do a Darcy and KO that cancer but it's about prolonging life as long as possible, its an evil disease lads. I intend on living as long as I can, only 50 years old now and I want to average 99.94 like Sir Donald Bradman did in cricket.
I'm 54 so we're both young men not just you

Originally posted by donE85hot View Postim big fan of watching Mike Tyson and Ruslan Provodnikov. both guys are fairly short for their wight class and also have KO power. I like watch how they get on the inside and throw hooks.
can you guys give me some more examples of fighters like this.
Sugar Ray, poetry in motion with his untelegraphed exploding hands, his dance like ring machinations and then there was Hank, a guy some consider as great a fighter, certainly a guy many rank in the top 5 of all time.....Short, squat relentless, like a pitbull who never lets go. Hank never stopped coming and throwing punches.

Originally posted by McGoorty View PostLes Darcy the great middleweight was 5 feet 7 inches tall and his reach was if I remember correctly 6 feet 4 inches (or 6 / 4 and a half ) I am going from memory here. He was incredibly powerful and strong and tough and was also very fast on feet and in the hands, was never knocked down and was also very aggressive, clever and could go full speed for 20 rounds. It's nice to pop in here after such a long spell, I have cancer in a few places so not sure how often I can get on here, I hope all my old friends are all well.

Dempsey at 6' fought small most times.
Marciano at 5' 11" also fought small.
Frazier who was short for a heavy at 5' 10"!
Tyson was just barely 5' 9 1/2" and fought out of a crouch.
Quawi was 5' 8" at 175 to 190 and fought low with a nice variety of punches.
If yoiu have the talent to move inside taller fighters than your height becomes the advantage. It takes effort and an understanding of distance and foot placements.
