Poll: Your Best Technical (Pure) Boxer Ever

[Mr Mitts]

Maybe your guy is not even on my list of candidates, but there is a good chance. If he is not, please reveal him. The candidates are in no meaningful order, as in randomized. Maybe you think the list needs some changes. All right by me, but I doubt if they allow that when you can't even edit a title...

[Mr Mitts]

LOL. I have a bad heart, don't scare me that way, grandpa. My mistake on Dunn. Makes the point perfectly though. Finding the great Gardener's record is like looking for a needle in a stack of needles. Translation: he was a nobody.

You are really something to say I got personal on a forum...

[Mr Mitts]

Oh, is he taking requests now? At this rate he will be asking a peeping Tom to move over soon, unable to write a word and durst not break his solemn oath. We will see what that oath means. This boy came in gnashing his teeth, and like a bad comic didn't know his audience so the audience body slammed...

[Mr Mitts]

That is supposed to mean he will not be responding to me because he will not see my posts, right? I can't even send him a thank you note. But he is a peeker, a snoop and a prowler for controversy. I do not believe he will do me the favor as advertised. But as long as he does not respond--that is the...

[Mr Mitts]

Certainly too many to count. Multiple times in the Ward/Gatti fights, for both fighters I would have to conjecture. I am betting Holyfield had multiple such rounds against Bowe. But Holy was a guy you had to beat into the ground like a stake to stop.

[Mr Mitts]

JCC was brutal to the body, also one of the best at doubling and tripling up hooks. Can't remember if he did that to the body though....

[Mr Mitts]

Pop! LOL. Dunn was KOd 11 times out of his 12 losses in a mere 55 fights. He was the poster boy for a chinless boxer, lad. The guy was KOd exactly 20% of the time he stepped into a ring!!!!! On average every 5 fights he was stopped. Five out of 11 times that he was stopped he gnawed canvas and was fully...

[Mr Mitts]

Pop? C'mon. The guy had 12 KOs in 56 fights. Are you sure the other guy didn't slip? Accidents happen. Review that tape for a banana peel....

[Mr Mitts]

I don't think Apples is a liar. Some hero worship, yeah. He is overly enthusiastic at times, sometimes doesn't stand up to a fact check. He also is a good content provider and regularly starts threads that go into double digit pages. Curmudgeon is a favorite word. It may include just about everyone...

[Mr Mitts]

Too many for a list. Robinson's body punching is indeed not talked about much. Not only well aimed but Ray puts everything into them a la Hearns. Is there confirmation here that Ray KOd opponents to the body with either hand some place in his career?

[Mr Mitts]

I think Holyfield is too low. Honorable mention an actual insult. He could also take grossly extended punishment. Did Holmes ever do that? I would chuck Holmes for Holy and give Larry the honorable mention.

[Mr Mitts]

That may be the most entertaining article I have ever read on Boxing Scene. Absolutely terrific. Already a fan of Frazier's, I am now one of Mulvaney's.

[Mr Mitts]

Bill, see page 1 of rating Liston HTH, written before your last post.

[Mr Mitts]

Penis is most official and medical. Pecker and quim would convey the root meanings. Vagina probably allowed too....

[Mr Mitts]

Racist, you really aren't worth any more replies. I will not put you on official ignore because I do not do that to anyone. But I will simply ignore your posts like I do to only a few others whom I feel contribute 0 value here. You are not worth insults even. Over and out....

[Mr Mitts]

No I don't want to one-up you. You are the best guy about punching dynamics. I would like to know which half you think I am missing or taking out of context. You think because I don't mention every idea from one of your posts that I didn't read them?

I guess you think Camacho was a great...

[Mr Mitts]

I could have phrased the question better. I left the door to ambiguity wide open. Iron Hammy did not misread the question because it reads both ways, which was a terrible blunder on my part. I should have asked one question not two making one the complement of the other.

[Mr Mitts]

You may be the new #1 halfwit on the forum....

[Mr Mitts]

Rocky looks tiny even compared to Jack.

[Mr Mitts]

I am satisfied with your breakdown.

Overall I would go with Ali because I would think he threw more jabs than those mentioned and used them for more purposes and in more ways including mind games and distraction and even comedy to kill the opponent's confidence. He was able to throw a pretty...
