**** Tiger
One of the strongest ever Middlweights, he could wear down bigger men with his two fisted style and was also a canney counterpuncher. Few could survive trading punchers with Tiger. ''I wound't even trade stamps with him'' said Joey Giardello. The tough Rubin Carter said ''He sure kicked the hell out of me'' Tiger was also extremely tough and resilient, with a great chin.


Lou Ambers
Ambers was a clever boxer who combined tight defensive skills, an accurate left jab, and a perky uppercut, with persistent aggression and enormous resilience, he fought in a era packed with great Lightweights.

Flash Elorde
His determination, conditioning, and courage helped make him one of the finest southpaws of his time. His strong legs gave him good speed around the ring and his fast fists and body blows racked up the points.

Fighting Harada
A human windmill who overwhelmed opponents with his marauding attacks, he was a outstanding body puncher whose bobbing and weaving style made him hard to tag, he also had a sound chin.

I'll have a go.

It will take a old school fight fan to do it but describe me these fighters styles.

-**** Tiger-Tough, durable, hard puncher, pressure fighter, very good chin, not really a boxer, more the type who took two to give one,..... Two Division champ.... enough said.

-Joe ''Old Bones'' Brown- A boxer/puncher in the true sense of the word, a great LW with a big KO punch, his jab was very good and stiff, even when he was an old guy he moved well around the ring well, Always in a good stoush he was always a very smart fighter who knew all the tricks.

-Tony Zale - Very effective left jab, Steel chin, loves a brawl but is also a good boxer who can switch back and forth from brawling to boxing. Zale was one of the all time great body punchers, it was his greatest asset next to his toughness and THAT CHIN. Tony could CRIPPLE the toughest of men with his right to the floating ribs and he was very accurate to the head and to the solar-plexus which did for Graziano in their first fight. One Hell of a tough customer and good enough to upset any MW to ever live,... ask yourself why Robinson avoided Tony,....... Zale always said that he wanted Sugar Ray very badly.

-Fighting Harada - Harada knew one way and one way only, head down and swing, maybe a Flyweight Harry Greb Style (I stress NOT Level). Harada was very very hard to stop. Lionel Rose however exposed all of Harada's faults, Vulnerable to strong, fast, smart hard punching Boxers. I think he had very good power for a Flyweight, but lacked it as a Bantamweight. Another great strength of Harada was his incredible cardio, it's hard to think of a 15 round fighter to name ahead of him in that respect,..... Harada was coming at you just as hard in the 15th as in the 1st............ Not top 6 in either division but as a two division champ,.... he deserves respect.

-Flash Elorde- I have seen bugger all of him..... suffice to say that he was a great fighter and champion

-Lou Ambers - One of the top class straight out boxers, but could be induced into trading toe to toe, Lou had great, great footwork and was a master at making good fighters miss, he sometimes humiliated great fighters will his great bag of tricks, his jab was very good, jn fact all of his punches were effective...... He didn't have a great chin, but it was at least decent, but he could get knocked down and sometimes KO'd, but when he got up, which was most of the time. Ambers good fight at a high pace, and his cardio was very good.......... An underrated LW.

I hope that's O.K. let me know if you think it sucks but !!!

Disagree, Harada was as versatile as they come and could box and use his great footwork as well to stay away and pick his chance to get in and swarm then get back out again e.g Jofre and Medal fights.

Wouldn't say that Rose 'exposed' anything at all, Harada is vulnerable to strong, smart boxers yet he beat Jofre, Kingpetch and Caraballo ? (I think Jofre won both fight but Harada got the official decision, it's debatable), Rose fought the night of his life, absolute masterpiece but Harada faults were not exposed, Rose had his number.

You should watch some Flash Elorde, he was excellent.
