    Will O The Wisp was special,youd watch guys load up thinking they finally have him,and then the target is missing
    Actually thats why I like Bhops defense,the other thing I like on Bhop is he tailors it to you,he knows what you like,and his defense is to take it away from you,exactly what you want to do,is exactly what he goes after.

    A guy I grew up watching that was similar to Frazier- in terms of stature and always forcing the fight- was Armando Muniz. He got hit a lot because he was always in range but he made his opponent miss a lot and constantly re-adjusted his attack.

    Jackie McCoy. He trained another champion, a lightweight, but the name escapes me.

    You know something,its allways kinda weird when Scrap,Grey,and I are on at the same time. Even to me it gets a "School is session" feel
    I can only imagine how it feels for the young'ns
    Though by the way,if you can find a way to listen to Scraps physiogimy,Greys,general knowledge,and my knowledge of blocking and balance,and you still lose........
    You just got your butt beat son

    I was about to go out but I counldn't help to wander on here. I like a lot of defensive fighters, but the one's that stand out in my mind are the ones with light smart feet.

    Willie Pep had lots of strong points with his defense, he could spin a guy around, he could work around their arms and his feet were among the best the game had to offer. I always have to press the rewind button everytime he sidesteps, just making his opponent's blow miss and being right outside of their arm ready to catch them turning. I always enjoy a fighter that with excellent timing and have sidestepping down to an art.

    I haven't been able to catch much of Tommy Loughran, or Benny Leonard's fights but from the few fights that I saw I was impressed by what I saw. Loughran could draw a guy in and baffle a guy with his footwork, likewise was the case with Benny Leonard. I liked how they would move one way, then when their opponent was preocuppied they'd change the direction of their footwork and catch them. They were in great condition too, their legs had to be to pull off those moves with such ease. WHen I watch them in action, I think about a mongoose, so quick so sharp, so precise.

    I know that there are many other fighters that deserve a mention, but they can't be favorites unless you are able to sermonize them and see them in your mind.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    I am constantly amazed at the lack of respect Ricardo Lopez gets around here. That guy had it all. Both offensively and the defensively.
