Obviously the notoriously slow Floyd Patterson, Karl Mildenberger, and Zora Folley were slowpokes compared to the speedy Terry Daniels and the elusive Ron Stander.yancey wrote:keithmoonhangover wrote:Nominations please, for the below categories.

Yancey said "Floyd was in '65, princess."
My apologies. That makes a huge difference. In that case you then made a great point.
Just because you don't like Ali doesn't mean you have to constantly make stupid criticisms. There were literally dozens of fighters slower than the guys Ali fought. Mildenberger and Folley were more mobile than most. For that matter, Henry Cooper and Brian London moved better than Terry Daniels and Ron Stander. Always nice conversing with such a nice and knowledgeable person, Johnny One-Note.

Re: The Boxing Hall of Shame
SRL was absolutely epic at hitting on the break. Possibly the best ever.

Re: The Boxing Hall of Shame
The hand speed and foot speed is hard to say. Watching the fights, the technology in the last 15 years seems to have got worse. The heavyweights in the last 15 years seem to be moving in slow motion.

The best combo ever was when bowe blasted coetzer in the balls and when he doubled over he decimated him with an uppercut. Speaking of bowe, golota is the second greatest artist after Ric flair.

Better than Holyfield's headbutt and simultaneous low blow? I loved that combination.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:The best combo ever was when bowe blasted coetzer in the balls and when he doubled over he decimated him with an uppercut. Speaking of bowe, golota is the second greatest artist after Ric flair.
