      I said all he does is run, your comeback was he punches guys in the face. I said any good performance were guys coming off of losses. What goalpost did I move I put context to your ****** reply, Lara can beat up on losers. Good to know.

        Right. So I'm right and you're wrong. When you were proven wrong you went on to a critique of his resume which has nothing to do with this thread.

          All he could do is move forward and throw vicious punches. He was such a beast that for the most part, that's all he had to do. However, if one didn't fold under power, he was screwed.

            I've only really seen his famous fights, but i noticed that Carlos Monzon would very rarely do anything other than move around his opponent, throwing jabs, straight rights and left hooks. If the opponent got too close just push his head to the side and carry on moving. If he got trapped on the ropes he would just clinch, then spin his opponent... and carry on moving.

            Not sure that means he couldnt do anything else, or he just never had to because he was so ****ing good at it, but the guy was like a metronome. Awesome at what he did, and incredibly difficult to beat.

              You must be talking about bobby pacquiao. Even in Manny's last three fights against Rios, Bradley, and Algieri he showed different dimensions to his game. He was outboxing Rios and pop shotting him, even Floyd Sr said he was looking like his son in there. Against Bradley he was doing a bit of everything and against Algieri he was stalking and applying pressure non stop. What would floyd have done against those three fighters? He would have beaten them all sure but it would have been boring as hell because Floyd does the same thing in all his fights. I almost fell asleep just imagining what a mayweather vs algieri fight would have been like. lol

                Manny has to be one of the most dynamic offensive fighters of this era

                  You didn't see much of him. Sr did box in some fights and had one of the best come foward defense anywhere

                      So far the only fighter that I agree that had the fewest dimension. Foreman a foward plodder with his power
