Boxing triangles

[_Rexy_]

Tyson and Frazier were nothing alike other than being short and powerful.

Frazier led with his head and left himself unprotected, while Tyson utilized the Peak-a-boo style which kept his chin guarded.

Not really a triangle like you described, but still interesting.

Liston Knocks out Patterson twice in the first round
Ali knocks out Liston in the first round
Ali goes the distance with Patterson

Tyson and Frazier are nothing alike other than the fact they are aggressive.

Fraizer is a great inside fighter, Tyson isn't.

Frazier is a 15 round fighter with a massive engine, Tyson is fast and explosive and fades.

Aren't you the one who used to have that crazy triangle theory posted in your signature? I can't remember exactly what it said, but it mentioned how some current decent fighter was the GOAT because his wins traced back to someone who beat Ali?

off the top of my head, the other one was "Cooney KO'd Norton silly, so he must be better than Ali!"

It was pretty long and it started with Berto. Berto beat this guy, who beat that guy who beat that guy............................................... ...... who beat Trevor Berbick who beat Ali. Berto = the GOAT! Obviously it was a joke but it was pretty funny.

lmao that's hilarious. Reminds me of this other tree I've seen. I don't know if you follow hockey at all, but there was an incredibly lopsided trade that happened back in 1992, and there is a tree that shows the effects of that trade and there are still guys in the league now that branched off that deal. Also hilarious, but even better because it's true

Yep, the four kings era will always be the best era in boxing IMO, the best fighting the best from 135-160. No ducking, no catchweight BS. (apart from SRL-Lallonde) just the best fighter’s wanting to prove they’re the best via fighting the best.

I should’ve included Benitez. He’s kind of the forgotten man of that elite era, he’s more famous for losing to SRL and Hearns more than he is for beating elite fighters like Duran. Also the fact that he beat Cervantes to win the WBA 140lb title at 17 years old is an incredible achievement. He should be appreciated more. He’s a top 3 Puerto Rican fighters of all time IMO.

Absolutely. Benitez got lost in that era. Great fighter..

I don't think I've seen someone dodge punches like Benitez did. His defense was pure art.
