Top 5 fighters in my lifetime.
Joe Calzaghe the guy was brilliant and a great talent with britttle hands too.
Wayne McCullough he got me into boxing big time. Never ducked anyone.
Steve Collins like above.
Money Maywheater is a no brainer.
Rigondeaux love this guy by far the greatest technical fighter i have seen up close.
Wish Fielding well but expect Canelo around the 8th if not earlier. Can't see him coping wiith Canelo's power.
Suprised nobody mentioned Charlie Zelenoff in their top fighters.
What time is this Fielding fight on ?
Soony Edwards is a very skilled operator on his way to a world title shot.
Was a cracking show that, remember my old man getting me on to it, however, snap shots never really did those fighter any justice... Whitaker as I’d stated was a master craftsmen, his skills were never really appreciated by highlight reels..
I think I’ve posted this before, just read the book for the umpteenth time, but this doc on another of my heroes, jack johnson, is probably the best ever made, which any boxing fan, casual or diehard, should really watch... a true legend given the era his exploits were being tested, however, a trailblazer of unparalleled precedence
Mrs Onholiday bought us floor tickets for the Calzaghe vs Lacy fight (would have been for my 21(?) birthday) - could have sold them pre--fight for quite substantial money but didn't as very much fancied it and the night out.An enigma was Jones, to move through the divisions, especially from light middleweight, all the way through to Heavyweight champion, is kind of ridiculous and showed up the division somewhat following the golden period of the 90s.. Taking nothing away from the guy, a superb boxer, however, to reach his goal he was juicing his ass off
This, for me, is why Calzaghe is probably the UK's greatest, alongside Lewis.. sure he was avoided for many years, and who wouldn't after he annihilated Lacy, however, if there is a better in fight tactician, I'm yet to find him!
