gnasher16 30,025 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 my all time favourite boxer was a little fellow called barry mcguigan cracking fighter he reminded me of a little terrier he never backed up brilliant to watch Think Jimmy Mcdonell might believe otherwise ....wee Barry was great when things were going his way....but he lost composure and technique whenever his back was against the wall...wouldnt question his heart but certainly panicked whenever under severe pressure......his skin colour and nationality had a lot to do with his success and popularity in America.Great fights with Pedroza and Cabrerra though.

jasper65 6 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 thought these two should be mentioned, "Aaron Prior" was one hell of a fighter as was "Pernell Whitaker".

foxfan 479 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Funny this thread should come up again, i just been looking through a few old fights. Remember Ray 'boom boom' Mancini ? How about this for a first round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Funny this thread should come up again, i just been looking through a few old fights. Remember Ray 'boom boom' Mancini ? How about this for a first round. Brilliant I remember a brilliant domestic fight a few years ago was the rematch between Patrick Mullings and Simon Ramoni. They knocked f*ck out of each other and both hit the deck before Paddy Mullings was pulled out in between rounds with broken ribs. Really was a right tear up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,592 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 realised just how hard the game is when he met Honeyghan.. Nice to see Lloyds name mentioned, he was a very good agressive fighter, I liked him a lot....its a shame his hands were too weak to cope. Does anyone know if this is what eneded his career?
