Which is the most accurate comparison of boxers? (Please help)

[studentofthegam]

The comparison is not that deep. It doesn't go to quality of the two, achievements, subtleties of infighting and angles, etc...It's more just with styles. Hatton and Duran had fast feet, closed the distance quickly, and applied a certain type of suffocating pressure. Not a Cotto/Chavez like pressure where it was steady and somewhat subtle. More of a "don't let you breathe, I'm all over you" type pressure which inevitably ends up in too many damn clinches.

As said before, this wasn't Duran in every fight, Duran sometimes boxed more behind the jab, or was more patient in his pressure, but in certain fights (Buchanan, Palomino, Leonard 1), Duran was all over his opponents like R. Kelly on a 14 year old. Hatton obviously apply his craft nearly as well as Duran, but I think there are some stylistic similarities.

Walt is going on and on about me. He claimed not to take me serious any more. I said Duran looked like Hatton in one fight against SRL and he blew it up. He didnt post exactly what I said was comparable with Hearns and PWill either. Duran was better like I already said and he didnt post that .


Walt stop picking and choosing small parts to make your side more convincing. And stop acting like a gossiping lil girl.

what kind of liqour do you drink mr walt

[BigStereotype]

from what I could gather, they are very similar except baldo was bigger and jlc could slip a punch and fire back here and there. other than that I hear they're plodding, slow and throw wide punches. just relaying what I was told...

Chavez was anything but a plodder and he had very quick, sharp punches. His inside work was very, very tight. Awful comparison. Hatton and Duran, you could almost make a comparison with that mauling, wrestling style, although Duran was much better at it and had infinitely better defense.

I don't see any comparisons.

please elaborate on your comparison with pwill and hearns so everyone will know how astute you are because I apparentlyi misread your posts.

I'm not acting like a girl. I'm straight calling you out, period. There's nothing girly about it.. You are the one who made these 3 comparisons and now your're seeing that we see right through them as a way to prop your boy up. The comparisons you make are utterly ridiculous.

And I'll call your ass out on it as u can see.

Thank you sir. Perhaps the poster that actually made those comparisons will actually man up and defend his statement, but I highly doubt it because he straight dodged everyone who challenged him in the threads where he made these claims/comparisons

those are certain similarities, but where's hatton's chin? Where was duran's chin? Who ran in and who closed the distance with more patience and technique. A lot of fighters will put suffocating type pressure on you, but that shouldn't qualify the to be considered similar to duran.

[Heeb]

I can very slightly see the Hatton-Duran comparison in the ways Big Stereotype and PED User mentioned, but other than that, the comparisons are garbage.

No problem. Baldomir and Chavez is as ridiculous a claim as I've ever heard.
