olivares or chavez: PUCHING

[Flea Man]

who was the bigger or indeed 'better' pucher.


take into account opposition as well as aesthetics .

[cotto20]

olivares was the big puncher!

[AlFrancis]

For me Olivares at his peak. Chavez was great and even bettter when right in front of you. Olivares seemed to be able to box at range and throw long shots that had ko power on the end of them.

[TIGEREDGE]

rubens ko record is arguably the best ever. he was the bantamweight tyson

[Flea Man]

no one giving any examiples.

Puching?

Puching?


Oh! I thought this thread was about who was the best puncher. i'm fucked if I know who was the best pucher.

[Minotauro]

Olivares had a fair amount more p4p power then Chavez. Both great punchers.

[red cobra]

Oh, Olivares was the bigger puncher...Chavez more or less was an accumulation puncher..but in his prime Olivares was a killer power puncher.

Puching?

:lol:

i thought the same as Fleaman misspelt it twice.


I'd say Olivares was the bigger puncher. He was more explosive whereas Chavez was what i call a strong hitter but he lacked that BOOM in his shots.

For example Olivares vs Rose, Olivares comes out quick closes the distance and land fast powerful, explosive shots and stops Lionel Rose early.

Chavez never really won fights quick he normally broke them down and stopped them late or won on points. Against Taylor he slowly wore him down with punches but none was as Explosive as Olivares's punches and lacked the BOOM as i said earlier.

However i think Chavez's punches would do more accumlative damage and stay with you whereas Olivares's wore off quicker but were more damaging.

Aesthetically, Olivares looks so much more powerful he looks like a mini beast the way he lands his shots. Chavez lands tidear cleaner shots.

was pissed when I started the thread, misspelt because I was typing on a PS3 controller :rofl

Watched Olivares vs Pimentel earlier and it got me thinking, that's all. Excuse my drunkenness :good

[GPater11093]

Flea, watched Olivares vs Rose tonight very impressed by Olivares.

As i rate Rose very highly. and the manner of the win is astonishing.

Every time i watch it im amazed

[cotto20]

If we're talking about who was the bigger puncher. It was Olivares.....

[teeto]

Olivares

[Mantequilla]

Olivares for power, Chavez a bit better overall technically...he was a much more two-handed fighter than Olivares.

Fo sheer one-punch ability zamora was the best imo.

[Flea Man]

Zamora could decimate opponents. I was drunk as fuck when I started this thread, on a Saturday afternoon if I remember correctly. I like Zarate as a Bantam puncher as well, his long legs allowed him to drive his shots into his opponents that seriously fucked them up.
