another boxing question for everyone?

Tough question, Ali definetly had an Aura about him and broke some significant color barriers but in terms of the best fighter/boxer I would have to agree with the choice of Sugar Ray, his talent was unmatched.

I think that the best possible matchup that could be put together right now is Nikolay Valuev vs Wladimir Klitschko. I realize that this may not be the most interesting fight for the American boxing fans but the truth of the matter is these two men are dominating heavyweight division at the moment and it would be great to find out  who is the best. \n\nIt may also be interesting to see a rematch between Lamon Brewster and Wladimir Klitschko but given the shape of the both fighters in recent matches I seriously doubt that there's any chance that Lamon could pull another suprise. He would most likely be dominated and completely controlled and in the end get knocked out just like Chris Byrd.\n\nI can think of one more matchup that wouldn't perhaps get so much media attention but it would be really great to see; sort of a match of the future champions and that's Samuel Peter vs Alexander Dimitrenko. Peter is one of the most powerful boxers and hardest hitters in boxing today and Dimitrenko is a very talented young Ukrainian fighter who lives and trains in Hamburg (he's trained by Fritz Sdunek). He's 6' 7 tall, very athletical and has style almost identical to Klitschko brothers. Dimitrenko is undefeated in 21 professional matches while Peter has only one loss (to W. Klitschko) in 27 fights. This would in my opinion be an outstanding matchup.

I don't think boxing is going away as a sport. Not everyone's into ground and pound, however effective that may appear to be in a medium that encourages such tactics.

Mills did his job.  Ring-savvy fighters like Holyfield know how to dig deep within themselves to keep themselves in the fight for another round, even if it isn't in their best physical interest.  That's where the referees come in.  They have to be the unbiased voice of reason for both fighters, responsible for rules being followed, and the all physical aspects and condition of both fighters.  I am happy to see that the others in this forum hold the same opinion.

Prime for prime I'd go for Aaron.  He had a lot of anger in him.  He was an alternate at the Olympics, yet he did better than Howard Davis junior. He fought for years to get the good fights and the respect, fighting a legent Antonio Cervantez.  Then another great, his fight with Alexis Arguello was the one that earned him respect.  Oscar may have been a more mobile fighter with faster hands and very confident young man I just think Aaron was too much of a tiger and its hard to pull off a person like Aaron unless your willing to go head to head.  Lets face it then Oscar wasn't eager to mix it with a puncher.  When you consider the fight with Felix Trinidad he was hesitant and boxed.  I thought he could have knocked him out.  Aaron Pryor by knockout.

i think brad(of course), tyrone, and c-man had the best answers so far.  however, i do take a little issue...i don't think ali would have had that tough a time w/holyfield.  holyfield was a great warrior, yes, but ali would have just been too fast, too accurate, and too smart for holy.  ali would've just rammed that piston like jab in holy's face all night and puffed him up - holy wasn't that hard to hit and was prone to mix it up when challenged - sometimes to his detriment! i really don't think evander had the power or the skills to really do much to a prime ali.  i see ali winning this by unanimous decision, if not by late round stoppage(tko, most likely)....good question though~

That's what i've been trying to figure out! He's the best fighter out there right now. You don't have to like his personality or some of his antics outside the ring, but we're talking about in the ring. Give me one fighter in boxing right now that is more skillful, has more ring savvy, is as quick, and had dominated more world class opponents than Floyd. I agree that there are still some good fights out there for Floyd, like Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto and Mega fights like Shane Mosley and Oscar De la Hoya, but let's not be blind to what the man has already done in his career. Personally, i would like to see him fight Margarito next because everyone says Floyd is afraid of him and is his biggest threat. I wonder what all the haters will say when he dominates Margarito(sorry folks. way too slow for Floyd) like he did Baldomir? I see a Mayweather-Margarito fight going much like Roy Jones-Julio Gonzalez, the more skillful fighter dominating with speed, technique, and ring smarts against the bigger, slower fighter. Hate him or love him, but if you deny his talents or that he's the best right now, then you are not keeping it real!

Man, that is a tough question, as a boxer enthusiast, and amateur boxer myself I am really excited about the Chris Byrd Wladimir Klitschko fight.  \n\nNow, about your question, I do think Klitschko is going to easily defeat Chris Byrd, by even more than he did their first fight, and I believe that James Toney will then be the Ring Magazine number one fighter, however I believe everyone will then consider Wladimir Klitschko the heavyweight to beat.  Klitschko looked great in his last fight, and will defeat Chris Byrd by unanimous decision.

Pancho - I gotta think about that one. I will add more details later. A damn good question........ I'm leaving the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight off the list, got enough buzz going already. My card consists of one fight that may be already made. Here they are:\n1) Mosley/MayweatherJr.\n2) Castillo/ Hatton (I believe this is scheduled for spring '07)\n3) Calzaghe/Taylor\n4) Wright/Abraham\n5) Pacquiao/Marquez II\nMaybe not the ultimate fight card but matches I'd like to see. I want to see some of those Euros fight here against top rank competition.

Fighting is like everything else man. It takes practice. Go to a boxingg gym and watch people. Punch the bag around. Get stronger and quicker.

To be perfectly honest with you, the best way to do boxing at home, is to not do boxing at home. There's all kinds of reasons for this, but I will give you only a couple. I'm writing to you about this with over 33 years of experience and many failed attempts of "Boxing at home"\n\n   There's the little mistakes that you pick up while you're training at home, dropping your hand as you throw your jab, not shooting your jab straight out, not pivoting on your foot properly when throwing the left hook, stepping straight back with your head up in the air, cat-pawing when you start to get tired. These are the most common of mistakes that everyone starting out training at home does, maybe not all of them but definitely some of them.\n\n  Then there's the fact that you're not around the gym atmosphere\nthe smell of a boxing gym. The subconscious telling you to push yourself harder than the guy hitting the bag next to you. The fact that your being watched by guys/girls who know what they're doing and you want to show that you belong. The fact that the noises that come from a gym give you a rush unlike anything you've ever experienced.\n\n   The money you spend on a "Home Gym" will be a complete waste, how many times have you bought something you had to have and six months later you thought what a waste? Spend your money on a Gym membership or Gym dues, stay away from Health Clubs like Ballys, Golds Gym, World Gym and countless others who know absolutely nothing about boxing except Rocky's coming out on Christmas.\n\n  I understand your position completely, to just stay in shape get yourself a freestanding bag, it's a great way to stay in shape. It's next to impossible to get into the shape you have to be in to actually compete at home, for all the above mentioned reasons and then some.\n\n  Good luck.

Wow, you've got some pretty nice equipment there, all that you need to get in shape.  I'd go online and look for boxing dvd's to either have someone else to do it with (on the dvd) or get pointers for it.  Nice equipment, good job!
