The Greatest Boxers Of All Time

By Mattie MacDonald


Boxing can be described as a combat sport that entails two people engaging each other in a contest of strength, speed, endurances, reflexes and will. The contestants throw punches against each other with gloved hands. Amateur boxing is an Olympic and commonwealth sport that is also a common fixture in many major international games. Since boxing is a popular sport of all times, this article unfolds some of the greatest boxers of all time.

Julio Cesar Chavez. The main Mexican fighter to make the rundown! Chavez verged on getting to 100 battles without losing definitively, however he missed the mark. He just lost 6 episodes of 116 and when you consider the level of resistance he confronted it truly is an unbelievable accomplishment. Victimized people included: Meldrick Taylor, Hector Camacho, and Floyd May weather.

Jack Johnson. Possibly the most questionable man in boxing history, was never expected to achieve what he did. However he took no notice of the social standards. He won the heavyweight title of the world on 26th December 1908 and held in for seven years. He tormented greats, for example, Stanley Ketchel and jim Jeffries and could have accomplished progressively had he not existed so carelessly.

Archie Moore is on record with the highest number of ring knock outs (131). He first came out in the year 1935 and struggled for numerous years to earn himself a living during the time black boxers were normally shunned from getting opportunities reserved to the whites. He however never yield in but snatched the lightweight championship title at 36. On overall, he prides himself of signature victories over Bobo Olson, Joey Maxim, Giulio Rinaldi and Yvon Durelle.

Pancho Villa is, out of doubt, the most profound Asian boxer to ever participate in the fight. The former flyweight champion was brilliant by all aspects. Villa defeated the tough Jimmy who was popularly seen as the greatest British boxing export. He wowed and entertained the American audience with unique set of punches. He will surely remain unforgotten.

Barney Ross is the only third person to win 3 world championships when there existed only a single undisputed champion in a weight class. The legendary ruled the junior welterweight and lightweight divisions while having an iron fist. The fighter is credited with the honor of saving boxing because of the fact before his appearance when arenas remained empty by inadequate quality in the divisions. Barney defeated Jimmy McLarnin among other legendary.

Henry Armstrong had an era from 1980-2005, with a record that speaks for itself. This includes 107 wins, with 80 knockouts and mere 6 lost matches. Armstrong is a Mexican legend that prides himself of 10 years without a single loss. His toughness entertained people of all walks of life.

Muhammad Ali. To put it basically, he was the best heavyweight ever. Ali presumably had the best button and heart in the diversion. George Foreman, Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson, Ken Norton, Jimmy Ellis and Leon Spinks all lost to Ali. What's most amazing other than the nature of his victimized people is the truth Ali was past his crest after 1970 yet in any case he figured out how to win.
