Anyone here have a favorite boxer?
RIP Muhammed Ali
And that former boxer who apparently got brain damage then commentated Takeshi's Castle and periodically went 'huh huh huh'. I don't think he's alive now.
I also like 'The Rock' (Dwayne Johnson?) but he's arguably a wrestler, not a boxer. I liked him as a kid in the 90s when I used to watch WWE with my lil brother on the rare nights when we were allowed to stay up late, after Cartoon Network had finished. It's impressive that kids still like Dwayne Johnson today.
They're all such characters. The theatrical aspect of these sports is surprisingly entertaining.
George Chuvalo, he fought the likes of
HWC Muhammed Ali twice (sent ali to the ER with bleeding kidneys)
HWC Joe Frazier
HWC George Foreman
HWC Floyd Patterson
HWC Ernie Terrell
LHWC Jimmy Ellis
T10C Cleveland Williams (who he beat)
T10C Jerry Quarry (who he KO'ed)
T10C Buster Mathis
T10C Oscar Bonavena
Joe Bygraves (who he beat)
Zora Folley
Joe Erskine
Eduardo Corletti
Olympic gold medalist Pete Rademacher
Doug Jones (who he TKO'ed)
Yvon Durelle (who he KO'ed)
Willi Besmanoff (who he TKO'ed 3 times)
Manuel Ramos (who he TKO'ed)
Olympic bronze medalist John Arthur (who he beat)
Began his career by knocking out 4 guys in one night & was never knock down once in 93 fights.
I really like fighters like Chuvalo. Even if he was never champ he was the definition of a warrior. He fought EVERYONE and never pulled out even with an injury. Id rather have that career than one of these modern boxing champions who cherry picks their fights and wont fight tough competition. Losing is not that bad when you fight everyone and you never fight like a bitch. Id rather lose like a man than win like a queer boy running and holding ducking and flopping.
I was wearing Hanes but I switched to Stafford because the fabric is a little stretchier and more comfortable.
My favorite to watch was Tyson. Guy was just intimidating. Also Lennox Lewis was fun to watch.
my all time favorite is Tyson his highlights is why I started, but his style is too hard to imitate. Its a young mans style, uses too much energy. Thats why by the time he was 35 he was not half the fighter he was at 19
Larry Holmes style is better suited for longevity. Along with Foreman. You gotta slow things down. All that bending and ducking is tiresome.
I lol’d pretty hard at everyone’s shocked expressions when Lewis whooped him years back. A lot of dildos lost a lot of money on that fight.
Bro Lewis in my opinion is a heavyweight that would have a chance at beating any heavyweight in history. He was well rounded he could do anything and he'd smash the heavyweights of today. But Tyson at 35 wasnt half the fighter as when he was 19. Tyson wasnt even as good at 25 as he was at 19. His style is not a good style for aging. You cant blitz for 12 rounds. Also he fired Cus D'Amatos trainer and immediately you see less spring in his legs and less head movement the next fight against Bruno. Tyson really destroyed his career. I wish we could have seen a younger Tyson against Holy and Lewis.
