Who comes close to being a "perfect fighter?"

[Spicoli]

I really dont think there is such a thing.Even the slightest uptight,burned out cynical boxing fan can find fault

Ah, but remember, I saId who comes CLOSE

Y'all may think I am crazy, but Aaron Pryor.
He could find angles; he could box circles around good boxers. Maybe too much of an iron chin to be a perfect fighter. He was determined, squared up a lot because he always felt he was stronger than his opponents, but knew how to impose his will in the ring. Only thing I would take away from him is I wouldn't say he avoided a lot of unnecessary punishment.

... Which bring me back to an early point in this thread... Ali was definitely not a perfect fighter. Look at him now. He took way too much punishment in the ring.

Too many people ducked Pryor and of course the drugs later in life...

great call. Pryor was brilliant. i think he only lost to bobby joe young and that was about 4 or 5 years after he originally retired. Would love to know what was in that water bottle in the arguello fight ha!

Aaron Pryor was very good but he was far from perfect, he constantly left his chin in the air. And he was far too wild at times, and he did lack some firepower, which may seem strange because he had a high KO percentage.

But he mostly stopped opponents with a barrage of punches, because he's swarming style was hard to counter against. Have you seen his fight against Gary Hinton ? he got outboxed for alot of that fight, and just about earned a decision because of his late round knockdown.

Aaron Pryor seems to get a bit overrated, because of his two wins against Alexis Arguello. Alexis Arguello was past his best and Jr Welterweight wasn't his best weight, Aaron Pryor was really good but we didn't ever seen him against an elite prime fighter.

You cannot be 19! You have too good a grasp of boxing knowledge to be 19. WTF!

LOL i've been watching boxing for years bro, my grandfather also used to tell me loads about boxing. And its so easy in this day and age to watch all the old classics, i mean youtube has countless fights. And you've got countless download links. I mean in one instance in a span of a week, i was able to download almost every single one of MAB, Pernell Whitaker, fights.

You know, I developed this software game that I call Boxing Trivia 21. You have 5 seconds to answer a question. First one to reach 21 wins ($$$). You might be good at it. $$$

I'm impressed.
