Who's the greatest offensive fighter...

[yuppie]

Paulie Malignaggi

YES, and a close second would be Nobuhiro Ishida

[tdawg83]

julian jackson,mike tyson,and felix trinidad are the guys that come to mind right off the bat. tyson wasnt as artistic as jackson or trinidad but made up for it with aggresion and power.

Such a tough question here..quite honestly I would say Pac but his lack of a dominant jab is a real issue. I would probably say Tommy Hearns.

I was thinking Joe Louis but for some reason didn't add him.

Just as I thought, judging offensive greatness is alot more subjective than defensive greatness. Getting alot of different answers.

And that's always cool. There are so many different ways someone might judge 'the best offense'

Someone might feel artistry like Ricardo Lopez. Or artistry with brutal devastating power like Joe Louis.

Or maybe they just like beautiful polished offense like Ezzard Charles.

Or maybe they like when someone just bumrushes a fighter and throws punch after punch like Harry Greb.

Or maybe they like skillfull inside fighting combined with brutal combination after combination like Roberto Duran.

Or maybe they like when a fighter just knocks out a fighter with one devastating punch like Tommy Hearns, George Foreman or Bob Fitzsimmons.

You're right, it's really subjective and 'offense' has a great versatility.

Good thread.

Defensively, you think Floyd, sweet Pea, Pep, Locce. But offensively, who is the most impressive? I got prime Mike or Roy. Speed, power, combinations. These 2 had it all.

Mayweather Jr Dominates all categories...No one has been more accurate, and place combinations on pin point then floyd. And he was the fastest..

It's MIKE TYSON!!!!

LOL!! I'd be pinpoint accurate too if I was fighting bum calibers.

Although Floyd doesn't belong on any list of great offensive fighters, he may very well be the most accurate puncher in the history of the sport.

pacquiao considering who he has done it against

I completely agree with you, however the lack of an effective jab really bothers me.
