Feel free to post links with videos and your opinions.
They might not be not tittle belt former/ current holders or medalists. :)
Please, without dreams that good shoud mean unbeatable etc like stuff.
 
Kessler vs Froch 1,2 are all time classics in European boxing
Pacquiao vs Marquez 1,2,3,4 are also a great watch
But for me personally any fight with a prime James Toney is pure gold
 
Kessler and Froch really are good. Sadly both now are retired.
 
This isn't some big champion name, but fits with my beginning study into selecting a striking style (no hurry).
Abraham Martinez with a BRUTAL KO!!!

Boxing and karate? are the two most common strikng arts around where I live. I passed a TKD (Tae Kwon do?) school on my way to the mall last evening and the parking lot was overflowing with cars. Makes me wonder.

Boxing appears the common sense art to start out. What I like about this video (being a layman), is (a) that both competitors look solid (very), and (b) BAM,! how quick & effective that KO was... coming out of like nowhere. I'd want to have a lot of experience under by belt before taking on a challenge like that.
 
Abraham is a decent fighter, bit of a head case so not sure how far he will go. I like the kid, he used to come around and spar with my lightweight and welterweight I had at the time.

What it looks like when he's in with someone he cant just set up to knock out:

 
theres a part 1 and part 2



Roy is a unique case because people attribute his abilities strictly to him. Theres zero discussion about his Father and Roy Sr. was arguably America's answer to Brendan Ingle. He created 4 future world champions and about a dozen national and World champion amateurs. And a couple of Olympians. But Roy Jr's fame overshadowed his genius. Everything he did had a reason for it, and Roy Jr. wasnt the only one who could pull it off. But he was the BEST one.

I think Devin Cushing was Roy Sr's most recent prospect. You can see the style resemblance:

its interesting to see as a lot of the champs, the knowledge and experience in the sport is usually a couple generations deep.
 
I think Roy Sr could have been one of the greatest trainers in the History of the U.S. if the feud with his Son weren't so public and everyone wasnt so infatuated with Roy Jr. at the time
 
You can lead a horse to water...
 


My mate Demsey is fighting Lucas Browne in March next year. He's about 6'6-6'7 weighs about 110-115kg. Went pro after one or two amateur boxing matches and a few Muay Thai and MMA fights.17 wins, 11ko's 0 losses
Demsey McKean is one to watch.
 
Roy Jones Jr was Matrix level boxing. Anderson Silva reminds me of him in UFC

Wow, you know these guys? The match you posted above looks way, way advanced.

With my lack of knowledge, I'd hazard a guess this level of skill is years in the making.

One of those guys I taught since he was 17. The other is Abraham (who calls himself "Abram"). And yes, quite a few years.

That is extremely high praise especially from a person of your pedigree and experience. To your knowledge did Roy Sr. have a boxing apprenticeship or was he around good boxing minds (Pensacola doesn't exactly seem like a hotbed for boxing)? What traits and tools were commonly used by fighters trained by Roy Sr. ? One last question what things impress you about Roy Sr. as coach e.g his methodology or ability to a lot with very little?

I'll just do a separate thread on him. Though I honestly dont know a ton about his system

Tnx. For me, I would hope to approach such effectiveness in my striking. The Amateur example, down the line. That more sophisticated vid looks impossible from where I'm standing right now. Same with much of the discussion about top champions.
