The Feather Fisted Greats

[greynotsoold]

It was Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom, not Rosenberg. He called what he did "slushing", a mix between slapping and pushing.

Also, Maxie started out like a killer: 11 of his kos came in his first 18 fights.

What you call featherfisted is just saving stamina for the sake of quickness bro. Just sayin'.

Save a seat on the short bus for Al

While i think it will forever be debated if he was great or not, what about Calzaghe.

[CutMeMick]

marble are you saying you consider Bradley one of the greats?

Really surprised Loi & Locche are not on there they are usually the 1st names that pop into mind for me...

Honors to Gavilan & Zapata (I consider him a great)

Paulie Mallinaghi may not be an all time great, but feather-fisted he is. Just like most British Boxers....

[Beanflicker]

If Pernell Whitaker can be considered "feather fisted" (semantics I know, but I think a clear distinction should be made between Pernell and a true sissy-punching fighter like Willie Pep), then Sweetpea is THE greatest feather fisted fighter of all time.

I think Nicolino Locche deserves mention too.

Some truth in that I think.
