  |  Favourite fighter from 8 divisons This is a discussion thread .... post your favourite fighter from the 8 weight divisions ... doesnt have to be current and doesnt necessarily have to be who you consider to be/have been the best, just your FAVOURITES!!!! ill start Heavyweight: Mike Tyson - In the late 80's he was a phenomenon. Has there ever been a fighter with the combination of speed, power and explosiveness Tyson had? Light heavyweight: Roy Jones Jr. - His reflexes/handspeed were unreal in his prime. Middleweight: Marvin Hagler ... truly phenomenal human being. (IMO) Welterweight: Thomas Hearns ... at welter was simply awesome Lightweight: Aaron Pryor .... its HAWK TIME!!! Featherweight: Prince Naseem Hamed .... a true showman with REAL KO power. Bantamweight: Johnny Tapia . . . Mi Vida Loca Flyweight: Cristian Mijares - Sensational technical fighter. discuss .....

| Re: Favourite fighter from 8 divisons Flyweight: Cristian Mijares (great fighter, should do great things in the future) Bantamweight: Rock-A-Bye Ruben Olivares (great KO power, heart, and a mighty left hook) Featherweight: Manny Pacquiao (favorite active boxer, hope that he focuses on cleaning out the LWs) Lightweight: Aaron Pryor (What time is it?) lol Welterweight: Tommy Hearns (damn, what a fighter....and a right cross) Middleweight: Who else but Marvin Hagler? (will to win, KO power, best 160 lber of all-time) Light-Heavyweight: Antonio Tarver....LOL JK....Roy Jones, Jr. (perhaps the most skilled and naturally gifted fighter to ever step into the ring, mixed power with lightning fast combos) Heavyweight: Mike Tyson (the most explosive fighter ever, heightened by the use of the peek-a-boo style, carries with him the mystique of the Tyson enigma: could he have been the GOAT?) Pretty much Slayer's list, with a few changes

| Re: Favourite fighter from 8 divisons Heavyweight: Mike Tyson - Explosive. Light heavyweight: Ezzard Charles - I love the guy. He was a tough tough guy and ducked nobody. He was a true tough guy and would beat any light heavyweight that has ever come after him. Middleweight: Bernard Hopkins. 20 defenses and now he's at LHW, he's still doing his thing. My favourite of all time. This is followed by Sugar Ray Robinson. Welterweight: Thomas Hearns. True one punch KO power. Lightweight: Roberto Duran. The greatest lightweight that EVER lived. Featherweight: Willie Pep. The greatest featherweight EVER. Second is Sandy Saddler. I hate any weights below featherweight. Last edited by Common; 10-27-2008 at 02:56 PM. |
