15 Boxing Quotes to live by

[RedRum]

1. Ricky Hatton is extremely skillful.
2. Sam Langford is the greatest p4p fighter of all time.
3. Benny Leonard is the greatest lightweight of all time.
4. Roy Jones, and Donald Curry were both press-fueled frauds.
5. Hopkins isn't a top 10 Middlweight.
6. Mayweather is extremely skillful, but it's his natural athleticism and conditioning that is on par with his skill. He hasn't met Hatton yet though
7. Joe Louis is the greatest HW of all time, and the greatest counter puncher.
8. Lennox Lewis isn't a top 10 HW, and I would put him on par with the likes of Baer and Schmeling.
9. Tarver is extremely skillfull and powerful, but lacks that explosive 'jump' to his punches that would make him a great. He would beat Roy Jones Jr. during any part of Roy's career.
10. Hector Camacho Sr. is the fastest fighter I have ever seen, bar none.
11. Willie Pep had the greatest defense ever, but he is closely followed by Benitez, and Whitaker.
12. 86'-88' Tyson would of beaten every single man on the planet, other then Louis, Ali, Johnson, and Liston.
13. Both Ali fights were fixed.
14. Ray Robinson was the greatest welterweight of all time.
15. Boozo is an inbred fcking moron, who can't tell the difference between his foot and his arse. Top class ****.

[AintGottaClue]

if tarver could beat roy at any time in his career, why did he get beatdown in the first fight? and in the 3rd fight he almost got KTFO from roy's body shots

[RedRum]

It's all subjective with Joe Gans, Leonard, and Duran IMO. I wouldn't disagree if anyone put Duran and Leonard over Gans or vice versa.

These aren't really quotes. They're ******ed points that are all arguable.

3. No, Joe Gans is.

From what I've seen of Gans he looks very impressive on film. He proves to be a great boxer-puncher with excellent defense, footwork,counter-punching skills and knockout power, scoring knockdowns with each hand. His powerful right reminds me of Joe Louis, very quick, straight, and accurate. The most impressive aspect of Gans is his footwork, but Leonards defence was much better.
