Who Is The Best Boxer I Have Never Heard Of?

Yuriorkis Gamboa - p4p sick.. he keeps his hands down most of the time and uses feet and head movement. but he has skills on par with mayweather.. very fast like young roy jones.. look him up on youtube. you won't be sorry

Haha. I am familiar with Gamboa, though I urge anyone who isn't to follow GreyAlien's advice.

I'm not a great boxing historian but the two dudes that spring to mind.. Les Darcy.. died at 21 as the best middleweight in the world. and Tucan. finding quality info about either is a battle.

Gamboa is a real prospect, he's been fighting some solid fighters very early in his career
He reminds me of Guzman.

Maybe you can look up the clip where he got put on his ass in his last fight. Right before he started gassing like Mobil.

He died of a rare strain of influenza, didn't he?

Jose Medel. Somewhat of a hero in his own country, but RARELY spoken about by boxing fans from other countries. The guy came up the hard way through the boxing ranks. He fought everybody and often on even terms with some of the greatest fighters the sport has seen. His record doesn't do him justice.

Here he is going to war with the all-time great Eder Jofre. Both men hurt, both guys fighting their asses off. This is one of the better fights you will see at any weight (even though this is just highlights).



7:40 - 8:15 is epic.

Medel defeated the likes of the great Fighting Harada, Jesus Pimentel, Walter McGowan and very nearly beat Jofre. He also faced Beccerra and Olivares throughout his career.

Uh yeah...so there is that. Hopefully I introduced or re-introduced a great fighter to you.

I was about to post that fight, it's one of the best I've seen.

Surprisingly few have heard of Eder Jofre also...

Baysangurov is good, fighting Jamie Moore next month
Shumenov has great potential
Lomachenko is the most talented 20 year old boxer in the world
Tishchenko would definitely be a champ if he ever turned pro
Golovkin is very talented, his promoter Universum is doing a poor job though, he's ready to fight the best middleweights but he's inactive
Frenkel is very good and has a crowd-pleasing style. Sauerland should hurry up and get him his next fight

You may have already heard of them, maybe not.

As always I'm impressed with your knowledge of the young eastern europeans. How do you get the info on those guys????
