Thread: Outboxing master boxer.

What were some fights where a master boxer was outboxed by his opponent?

I'd say Toney vs. Montel Griffin.

Toney out boxed McCallum.

Floyd v Judah

Lamotta out jabbing and out boxing Robinson must have been something to see at ring side.

Was that when he was a middleweight and Robinson a welterweight?

The best example and the MASTER of doing that will always be Ken Norton. He has that style to completely take away an opponents jab and out jab the jabber. He did it to Ali and Holmes, two of the greatest boxers in the history of the HW division. So awkward, impossible to time with his jerky movements and a really underrated jab of his own.

Hearns was totally outboxing Olympic gold medalist and master boxer SRL.

La Motta and Randy Turpin both outboxed Sugar Ray Robinson at one point. La Motta, like Norton, used unorthodox movement and a stiff jab to get on the inside, and Turpin largely outworked SRR in both of their fights.

Good mention about Toney but when was Judah ever regarded as a " master boxer "? Lol

Nope, Robinson debuted at middle in the first encounter and won handily. It was the second encounter.

Pender out boxed Ray back to back also.

Ray was old when he fought Pender?

Not sure I'd split hairs on that brother. It was really the same Ray that ko'd Fullmer after losing his title and the same Ray that came back to beat Basilio after losing to him. It may not have been the same Ray that throttled Turpin in the rematch and he took a long time off after Maxim but he was still pretty good when Paul beat him twice.

Ray Leonard outboxed Wilfred Benitez.

Also Tommy Hearns outboxed Ray Leonard Twice, and also put on a great performance in out boxing Virgil Hill who was a masterful boxer too
