Who has the best Boxing in the history of the HW Division ?

[frandie2b]

In your opinion, who's the best boxer in the history of the HW division in MMA ? (UFC, Pride...).

I make this poll in relation with this thread :

http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f2/jds-has-best-boxing-history-hw-2333721/


Here's my options :

- Junior Dos Santos :

Current UFC HW Champion, has great combinations with power & speed. Also have good footwork but questionnable defense.

- Andrei Arlovski :

Used to have crisp boxing, good speed/footwork/power. His problem has always been his defense & reflexes.

- Sergei Kharitonov :

Former amateur boxer, great power in both hands with good combos and dodges. He use to rely too much on his chin and lost his footwork.

- Aleksander Emelianenko :

Used to have great footwork/speed/power.

- Fedor Emelianenko :

He may not had the best technical boxing, but his speed, reflexes and power were a threat to anyone.

Others ?

Honorable mentions to Big Nog, Randy, Hunt & Mirko.

He did not prove that.

Thanks for the poll, I voted for Dos Santos.

 

[Sharkey]

Even though the story of him qualifying for the Olympics is bull, Kharitonov is still the obvious choice to me as he's the only one to accomplished a thing or two in actual boxing competitions.

Vitor Belfort was a heavyweight for a little while, I say he's one of the best. :wink:

Seriously, though, TS pretty much covered them all.

No problem.

Other options are welcome. I choosed these fighters because I think they were the logical options, and sherdoggers were talking about them in the previous thread.

But I don't agree with the Mercer/Toney options.

Everyone wll vote Dos Santos.

James Toney

jds has the most effective mma boxing
sergei has the power

 

[Ministrike]

With the exception of the joke that was James Toney, JDS imo, not even close, he wrecks people standing

 

[Abrogation]

I say dos Santos, only because he has been the most dominant and successful only using his boxing at a time when the division is at its strongest.

 

[Youngstar**]

Knew people would start throwing James Toney and Ray Mercer out there.

mark hunt and mirko?

 

[SPSUDISPATCH]

Am I the only one who is not that impressed with JDS' boxing? He is effective, don't get me wrong but doesn't know how to throw a straight to save his life.

You disgust me TS

 

[GrindingANARCHY]

I consider them more kickboxers than pure boxers.

I put them in "honorable mention", because after all their boxing is no shit.
