Who is the best counter-puncher in boxing?

[joseph5620]

Name five better counter punchers than Marquez.

Jose Napoles

Sugar Ray Robinson

Willie Pep

Pernell Whitaker

Roy Jones jr

Floyd Mayweather jr

Wilfred Benitez


There are more that can be listed. Marquez is not the greatest counter puncher of his era or all time.

Roy Jones was the greatest counterpuncher of all time...its not even close...his accurate, fast and powerful shots handcuffed guys or knocked them out.

Today the best are Ward and loma....I pick ward cuz he can counter every way and distance possible....loma isn't quite as proven and his counters are usually on the move. Ward can catch n shoot, slip n counter, counter inside @ angles etc.

How is Marquez a better counter-puncher than Floyd, when Floyd spanked him in their fight?

he also lost to bradley and dropped by unmotivated alvarado. His only good win at welterweight was pac while on roids. He really never belonged at the weight. Besides, mayweather cheated the **** out of that weighin.

[Zaroku]

Mayweather
JMM
Rigo
Loma

[uppercut510]

Toney
rigo

marquez too

[LoadedWraps]

JMM hasn't fought for nearly 3 years.

Doesn't matter, he's not officially retired, and no active fighter comes close to that level of mastery.

From Film of Salvador Sanchez that I've seen...HE MIGHT STILL be the best Counter Puncher I've ever seen. Prime JMM though was just masterful at it. Even Older JMM Knockout out Pacquiao, Schooling Juan Diaz Twice, toying with Michael Katsidis he was still very sharp even in his last fight vs Mike Alvarado still had excellent time!

[SensFullViolenc]

Chocolatito is excellent. At lighter weights he wasn't really a pressure fighter. He actually wasn't that exciting, even if he got KOs. The KOs just happened. They'd be boxing, whatever, and BOOM, fights over (a little like Rigo). As he's gone up in weight, he's become more of a pressure fighter, maybe to compensate for his shorter stature.

For active fighters (No, JMM isn't active) I'd say between him & Loma

[SensFullViolenc]

For all time, I realistically cant tell you - I don't have deep knowledge. Of the fighters Ive seen a lot of, it would be between Sal Sanchez & SRL. But I hate SRL, so Im gonna go with Chava.

Have you seen Benitez current condition? ****** logic on your part. As usual.

Hey Dumbazz Benitez was fighting grown men by the age of 14 and World Champ by 17 his brain was still developing and not ready to be taking blows by grown men why do you think Young teens fight in Jr Divisions in the amateur. So before you open the ****** mind do some research. also try watching Ali fights you idiot using foot work and throwing fast combos isn't counter punching you dumb brainless idiot
