Most handsome/Most Ugly

[Bundana]

I would add Norton, Benvenuti and Billy Conn to the handsome category.

Gary Stretch was a very good-looking guy and the modelling industry agreed as well and he made a few proper quid outside the ring.

Gary was a half-decent fighter and his title fight with Eubank was christened by the press as Beauty v The Beast.

Poor old Eubank....felt that was a bit humiliating for him at the time.

Agreed... Has to be the best looking fighter i've ever seen to step into a boxing ring.. Been in several movies too..
Met him in a bar when he was filming in Thailand a few years ago.. Still ripped and immaculate to the eye, but a pedigree prick, with a drink inside him..
Remember him being well ahead vs Eubank.. Until Chris cut off the ring and cornered him in the 6th
There was also a fight with a rough as they come Argentinian, think it was Eduardo Dominingo Contreras?.. Stretch won, but i remember him getting cut to ribbons, and had a lot of cosmetic surgery afterwards

No, this thread isn't gay or anything.

I thought that, but it's thrown up some interesting names, and fights, relevant to boxing history

Well not until someone adds Emile Griffith and Panama Al Brown to their list of handsome fighters, and God forbid - David Haye.. Now he's godda be batting for the other side lol

@ Mr Malone....sad to hear the Stretch was a bit of a prat but it did not come as a total surprise to me either.

I think it is a pity he did not stick with his boxing because there were times when he looked fairly handy and he did give Eubank 'issues' before Chris started to close down the ring. In retrospect, not a bad performance by a career light middleweight.

The other guy - probably mentioned already - to look good was the 'Orchid Man' Georges Carpentier. Seriously good fighter, possibly one of Europe's best, and the toast of Parisien Society and Cafe culture. Went on to run a chic Paris bar and do some movies; immacuately dressed as well.

I know this is crazy. But if you made a list of the most handsome and most ugly fighters in history, who would make that list?

Mine would look something like this.




Most handsome

Sergio Matinez

Felix Sturm

Oscar Delhaoya

W. Klitschko

Alexis Arguello

Arturo Gatti

Marcos Maidana

Jim Corbett


ugliest

Adrian Broner

Sonny Liston

James Toney

Leon Spinks

Joe Frazier

Derick Chisora

Pernell Whitaker

Roger Mayweather

Jack Johnson




I could have named more but I'll wait to see another list from others. Have at it!

I assume you know slobbering on white DIX is not going to get that brown tint out of your skin....so that means you do it because you like it

Yes, Carpentier was a Parisian icon, and he could fight a bit too..
