What fighter had the best flat out OFFENSE ever?

[crold1]

Robinson was IT

you think because you went back 100 years when boxing was very primivtive (no defense) that your a genius huh?



pernell whitaker would go a whole round and throw 2 punches, not hardly



no even , pacquaio's offense is very flawed and very basic

Maybe not a great a offensive fighter. But he had enough...

Probably the best offense, at least in recent years, was Tyson's. As much as I dislike the guy (******ed, heartless, scumbag), you have to give him his due for it. His offensive game was nearly perfect. He was adept at slipping inside lightning-quick without getting caught, and unloading a flurry of hard, perfectly targeted punches before his opponents could react.

If he hadn't been such a frigging nutcase that did his best to ruin the sport, I'd have been a fan.

Agree about Tysons offense being one of the best if not the best

Disagree about Tyson being a scumbag.............he's far from it, you should take time and get to know the guy

This is my choice also. Still yet to see someone throw accurate and fast combinations with the power that he managed to achieve.

I was going to say Robinson or Louis but you guys beat me to it!

Dino, 2-3 years ago I might agree with this, but Pac has been improving a good bit offensively. He has developed his right hand and he throws a better variety of shots now. You have to admit though - Pac beat some good names even when he was still relying heavily on just that straight left. I think that shows that he throws it exceptionally well. If you add in the fact that he has improved, I think it is fair to give Pac a mention here.

If you're going to post a thread asking a question you shouldn't get snippy because you aren't getting the answers you want.....So what's YOUR pick Einstein? And please don't say "Tyson" like some prepubescent nuthugger who jacks off over reruns of :wank: "Tyson's Greatest KOs".

It was a joke... But in all seriousness Sugar Ray Robinson.

i dont know enough about previous boxing history to really have a valid opinion. ive only seen select old fights, i wont pretend to act like ive seen enough of those fighters to really have a valid opinion.

however i think in TODAYS boxing world, right now i think probably wladimir klitschko (like him or hate him) has the best offense in the game. he easily has the best jab in boxing, and with a string of thunderous ko's its hard to argue. i personally find wlad to be an exciting fighter but many seem to think he is boring, none the less to deny his offensive talent is pretty ******, regardless what you may call him. ive never seen a fighter more offensively consistent than klitschko.

other cases can be made for pac, and i guess some would make cases that vitalis offense is better than wlads but both of these fighters i have the same excuse for why they arent my top pick: because they get to careless when they go offensive, and it really has nothing to do with defense it has to do with leaving yourself open more, taking bigger risks aka straying away from textbook boxing. wlad on the other hand always keeps his opponents where he wants them, and wins convincingly with super smart textbook fighting. he never lets anyone inside, and he never tries to take unnecessary risks. pac is a brawler, and vitali wont hesitate to **** with you (watch the lewis fight).

id like to see edwin valero really start facing some serious guys that way he can be in the mix of these conversations.

has to be roberto duran

Great. If your name isn't Dino, then I wasn't directing my post towards you.
Greatest flat out offensive fighter of all time?
