Deadly combinations...

[Luigi1985]

I mean, when 2 fighters meet in the ring, both with the same great abilities, for example I remember the Zarate- Gomez- fight, both had great power, or the Ali- Patterson- fight, these 2 fighters had the best HW- handspeed ever, etc., give me some more examples...

[brooklyn1550]

Gerald McClellan and Julian Jackson - Power

[Thread Stealer]

Hearns-Leonard: speed (and power was damn good too)
Duran-Leonard: similar to above, except less power
Mosley-DLH: speed
Camacho-H. Davis: speed
Foreman-Lyle: power

[brooklyn1550]

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Zab Judah - Speed

[Dempsey1238]

Louis Baer, power mostly.
Louis Walcott-combinations.

[The Kurgan]

Ron Lyle VS George Foreman- Power without stamina

Gatti VS Ward- Courage (and mastery of blocking punches with the head)

Lennox Lewis VS Tony Tucker- Tall and timid

Carl Thomspon VS David Haye- Killer instinct

Joe Louis VS Jersey Joe Walcott- Two of the best ever counter-punchers

[Luigi1985]

Very good examples, guys! :good


I have some others:

Tommy Hearns- Pipino Cuevas- Power
Stanley Ketchel vs. Billy Papke- Power
Maurice Hope- Rocky Mattioli- Power
Ruben Olivares- Bobby Chacon- Power
Young Stribling- Maxie Rosenbloom- Defense
Muhammad Ali- George Chuvalo- Chin
Lou Salica- Manuel Ortiz- Slickness
Johnny Dundee vs. Tony Canzoneri- boxing skills in general
"Butterbean" Eric Esch- Joe Siciliano- Pure fat

[The Kurgan]

Muhammad Ali- George Chuvalo- Chin

True; it's strange to believe that, at the time, Ali was regarded as the chinny boxer to Chuvalo's iron-jawed brawler routine. :patsch

"Butterbean" Eric Esch- Joe Siciliano- Pure fat

:lol:

:lol:


Exactly, when we now look back to the times, it´s pretty funny how they reckoned Ali´s chin, well, even "experts" make mistakes... :yep

You can understand it, though- if Povetkin was knocked down by Bostice and Donald, there'd be questions about his chin. Then again, even after Wlad was down against Steve Pannell and knocked out by Ross Purritty there were still those who pretended he had a good chin. :lol:

Agreed, good example but it´s a difference between, let´s say a mediocre chin at world-level, or a glass-chin, it´s really amused to see how people always so quickly overact with all kind of things... :D


Even right now some Klit- nuthuggers say he has a very good chin (all of his suffered KD´s were more because of exhaustion, you know :lol: )

Gee Wlad got tired quickly against Corrie Sanders.

[Robot16]

I like Carlos Zarate Vs Alfonse Zamora, both Undefeated ko cha,pions with only a few people going the distance with them.
I saw it On ESPN Classics and it is one of my fav fights.

[Titan1]

Greg Page vs James Tillis: Speed
Carl Williams vs Larry Holmes: jab
Mike Tyson vs Bonecrusher Smith: Power.

[CzarKyle]

Marvin Hagler Vs. John Mugabi - That was chin, power, heart vs. chin, power, heart. Those men slugged the crap out of each other and just kept coming till one man fell.

Edit: However, it seems that neither man came away from the fight as the same person.

[Stonehands89]

Ross-Armstrong. quintessential boxer vs. quintessential swarmer

Louis-Baer. Power
Morrison-Ruddock. Power
Hearns-Cuevas. Power

Charles-Moore. Skill
Robinson-Gavilan. Skill

Leonard-Hearns. The battle of the fast-twitch fibers.

Hagler-Duran. Menacing-looking grills

[C. M. Clay II]

Foreman-Ali for physical strength.:good

[Stonehands89]

Ali is being overestimated on this site in terms of physical strength. Seriously. He's not in the same league of Chuvalo never mind Lewis or Foreman.

[mochabuzz]

Holyfield vs Dokes (Desire)
Foreman vs Morrison (Power)
DLH vs Whitaker (Speed)
Sanchez vs Nelson (Durability)
Morrison vs Hipp (Toughness)
