Saw Frampton getting into a fight in the YouTube comments section with a fella who saliently pointed out Carl was very quiet about the workings of MTK in his book while bemoaning the paying in boxing, , even though you know, your own trainer was shot hanging around these guys , I think Moore was given Frampton as compensationThe Docker wrote: ↑07 Jun 2024, 15:40 Not sure if nationality influences your decision making here.... but mine are.

Re: Favourite fighters to watch. Pick 3 only.
Since you’ve said just chatting, and I’ve had a can and I’m in on me own on a Friday, I’ll give more detail than anyone could want
I’m not as hell bent on blood and guts but I see why you’ve all picked who you have.
Honestly some fighters just have great styles what I like watching cos i just think it’s cool. Whitaker and Prograis spring to mind, which might raise eyebrows. Some fighters look great losing a war, some look great winning 12 nil, some are just cool southpaw/shoulder roll/body punchers.
For wars and action, always loved Froch Inoue and Golovkin. They look brilliant when they demolish someone and even better to watch when it’s close.
I could even make a case for just personalities I like or plucky underdogs and things like tha. I’ve spoke about Choi Tseveenpurev (spelled that right first go!)and Jhonny Gonzalez. The birth certificate story alone is enough to make a special place in my heart. Maybe it’s a spelling thing
Also nothing like a chinny banger glass cannon is they? Wlad, Khan, aforementioned Jhonny, AJ?
Again, just felt chatty.

Re: Favourite fighters to watch. Pick 3 only.
All of them where he is out boxing a guy who could put him on bambi legs with one flush punch. Which was pretty much everyone.
That's why I like watching him, it was edge of the seat stuff.
And he knew his vulnerability, but still kept come, and not ducking all comers just because they could punch. That's brave, and I admire it.
Favourite fight?
Probably the Lamont Peterson SD. Razor close, and some quality boxing from both guys. And then there was Canelo where Khan was boxing beautifully, and you thought - he might do this- and then he was out.
Edge of the seat stuff.
Absolute tit out of the ring, but skillful and brave inside it.

Re: Favourite fighters to watch. Pick 3 only.
Another good one, in fact he was on a really good run then. But only Prescot had stopped him, so we didn't really know for sure how chinny he was as he went up in weight. For me, it was the knowledge that Khan was vulnerable made his fights that extra bit exciting to watch.Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑07 Jun 2024, 17:30Not the Maidana fight?KiwiRider wrote: ↑07 Jun 2024, 17:01All of them where he is out boxing a guy who could put him on bambi legs with one flush punch.

Re: Favourite fighters to watch. Pick 3 only.
So, so many, like we all have but narrowed it down to 3, who I still, genuinely enjoy watching, even in re-runs.
- A bit before my time but, Bobby Chacon
- Again a bit too young to watch him prime, Roberto Duran (lightweight / welterweight)
- Yup, same again, bit too young but Mathew Saad Muhammed (Matt Franklin)

His.American run was good, Collazo, Judah, Paulie, , add Salita blitz although took place in England and I think that's four high quality Brooklyn fighters he slapped aroundKiwiRider wrote: ↑07 Jun 2024, 17:01All of them where he is out boxing a guy who could put him on bambi legs with one flush punch.
