bird 9,898 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 the best punch i have ever seen thrown was a left hook by sugar ray robinson that knocked out gene fulmer. the perfect punch. sugar ray called the best boxer pound for pound in the world, just watched the above fight with Lamotta.Iknow lamotta was hell of a hard bugger, and never been down.But sugar ray was welter champ, fighting middle weight champ. wonder if he had the proper power knock out a middle weight.? Eighter way it was Great scrap very fit+ hard men 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every generation of boxing fan likes to think the best fighters came from their era so its great to see folk like yourself looking into fighters of the past they had qualities that are just taken for granted and dismissed today...........Check out years 1949/50......he had i think it was 33 fights including World Title fights............thats more than most fighters have in a career these days !....for me he just had everything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
