Re: great boxers without punch
I always appreciate that you will describe someone as "The Great", even when pointing out someone else's superiority, or drawing attention to something the fighter lacks. It's a great antidote to the "Duran/Hagler/Lewis was complete shit" that emerges on other parts of Boxrecelmersalsa wrote:The great Kid Gavilan lacked a punch. It was the only thing missing in his arsenal.
The great Miguel Canto also lacked a punch.
Also the great Joe Brown.

Jason Booth in his prime was a very nice boxer with little power - Jamie McDonnell is in the same mould.stevedoc wrote:also colin mcmillian ,not a great but a very nice boxer but with zero powerpalooka wrote:Could I hazard Duke McKenzie? That man could box, very well schooled.

I was going to say Colin McMillan, but I thought I'd get shot down because he wasn't 'great'.stevedoc wrote:also colin mcmillian ,not a great but a very nice boxer but with zero powerpalooka wrote:Could I hazard Duke McKenzie? That man could box, very well schooled.
Sweet C certainly had 'zero' power.
I watched a lot of his fights live in the early 90s & he just could not punch at all: classy & smooth boxer though.

I do not if you have seen them fight, but boy!, they were top notch. Very underappreciated fighters. Very underrated.
