Who Are The Current Active Fighters In Boxing: You Consider To Be "Special" 🤔

Haney off the top of head.

I really like his style, attitude but yes we need to see him in a real tough fight.

He reminds me of Floyd.

Andrade is special ed maybe. I dont get the hype on this guy at all. Hes a solid world class boxer but hes never going to be #1 in any division unless its a complete sh^t division.

I agree with most of your choices doe & I think Haney & Teo MIGHT be special but its too early to say definitely they are. I do think Usyk is special. Him road warrioring that WBSS tournament in perhaps the most elite boxing tournament in boxing history gets him in the special lane for me.

Farmer aint special either. Hes just a solid grinder. Cant not root for him doe, but hes never going to be #1 in a division either.

And Shakur should still be in the honorable mention category if Haney is. Haney has looked better vs better guys.

Wilder gots special power, but idk if I can call him special like that. Idk that very many HWs in history have been special when I try to think about them in particular recent history like 80s til now

Tank (I wasn't sold on him at 1st & I'm still not 100% but I'm leaning towards he very well might be.)
Errol Spence Jr.
Terence Crawford
Deontay Wilder (I don't think he's nice but his power might really be all he needs)

Honorable Mention:

Haney (I think he's the goods but I need to see him in the trenches)
Usyk (not sold on what he'll do vs better competition)
Teofimo Lopez (Gonna say about 25% out of 100. I feel like he'd beat Haney but I feel Haney will fair better as he moves up in weight)

Pretty solid list, but I'm a bit baffled by the way you've apparently decided Usyks cruiserweight run - which is probably the most complete domination of a division in recent memory (Ward at SMW is the only one I can think of as vaguely comparable) counts for nothing. he fought every top name at Cruiserweight or the guy who beat 'em within about a three year spell, and all his biggest fights were in his opponents backyard. My boxing history ain't the best but I suspect you'd have to go back a looong time to find a champion giving up homefield for every major fight... leastways, not one that remained a champion for long.

Considering everything, I think Inoue gets my vote. Came out of nowhere and has demolished everyone on his way. Can't wait for him to come to the US

Inoue is the only one who looked special to begin and has shown he's special

That kid from Japan Naoya Inoue is special. I watched some videos about him. He is skilled and a devastating puncher. If he gets an opponent hurt it's over. He will stop him.

**Mammoth** · 10-18-2019, 12:40 PM

Inoue, Loma, Crawford and Usyk.

Inoue has proven it with his level of competition and performance. Usyk is good but we've seen what a special cruiserweight moving up to heavyweight looks like. His name is Evander Holyfield. Usyk looks good but we know what special looks like.
