The best boxers in the world. Famous boxers. Boxers are world champions

Multimillion prize, crowds of fans, fame, ring, training - all these words unite boxing. Its popularity is growing every day.

The best boxers of the world go to the ring for money or fame and they arrange a real show. People always wanted two things - bread and circuses. While there are such athletes who are able to provide the latter, this sport will live.

In order to become the best, they worked hard and worked on themselves, perfecting themselves every day. Before presenting the rating of boxers of the world, it is necessary to understand "where the legs grow".

Boxing History

Officially, such a sport as boxing, was recognized only in 1719 in England. It is interesting that since that moment this country is still counting all its tournaments and championships, stably printing reports in newspapers.

Unofficially, we can say that boxing is at least more than 5 thousand years. This is confirmed by archaeologists who found 2 tablets in the outskirts of Baghdad, where boxers with wrestlers were depicted.

In the Olympic program, such competitions appeared only on 23 games. Since that time, many years have passed and boxing has undergone constant changes, until it has found its final form, which we can observe at the moment.

How to choose the best boxers in the world?

To have an idea of how the best boxers of the world are chosen, it is necessary to consider those criteria by which the athlete is determined.

Of course, taking into account the number of battles conducted, the victories in relation to defeats, draws and won fights ahead of time are analyzed. In addition, it is important not only the style, but also the manner of fighting, together with the average number of points. Despite this, many boxers - world champions - were not included in this list, and those who were deprived of their belts and titles (for example, Muhammad Ali) are heading it. This is due to the fact that, as such, there is no specific list of requirements, but the best one is chosen with regard to certain non-prized associations by popular vote.

Top boxers of the world of all time

Willy Pep ranks 10th in the ranking. He performed well during his career (1940-1966), with a large number of wins and a minimum number of defeats. Speaking at lightweight, he set a kind of record, having spent 69 fights in a row without defeats.

Henry Armstrong - 9th place. This boxer is famous not only because he started his career in lightweight, but finished on average. Twenty-seven knockouts in a row, 3 championship awards in different weight classes. He was recognized as a great boxer not only by his admirers and experts, but also by other athletes with well-known names.

Rocky Marciano - 8th place. Has not received any defeat. He performed in heavyweight and gained fame due to his bold character and cruelty.

Julio Cesar Chavez - 7th place. One of the most famous boxers in Mexico, who took part in competitions by 3 weight criteria. Overcame a large number of eminent boxers. He became famous due to the fact that he constantly controlled all the actions of his opponent and managed to defeat them using his power.

Jack Dempsey - 6th place. His fights have always been attended by a large number of people. This athlete can even be called the darling of America. The most famous boxer of his made aggression and power. For 7 years he was the undisputed champion.

The famous Mike Tyson is in 5th place. Probably, there are no such people who would not know his name. His fame does not cause doubts to anyone, but all due to his phenomenal aggression during the battle, which allowed to win fights either in the first seconds, after the gong hit, or in the first 2-3 rounds. Bets on fights with Mike were only on what time period he would send his opponent into a knockout. There is a line about him in the Guinness Book of Records.

Jack Johnson and honorable fourth place. For 10 years he was the undisputed heavyweight champion. He was not liked not only by boxers, but also by spectators, and all because of the technique and style of combat. Despite all the negative, in almost every battle he came out victorious.

Top Three

Sugar Ray Robinson - bronze in the ranking. It was a boxer with a capital letter. He combined the best qualities that allowed him to perform in seven weight classes. Despite its large dimensions, he possessed amazing endurance and invested in every blow.

Muhammad Ali is silver. Of all the famous boxers, this, perhaps, is the most famous. Five times in a row was recognized as a boxer of the decade. Champion of the Olympic Games in the heavyweight division. The scandalous boxer was the de facto world champion, but de jure he was stripped of these ranks due to his character, and most importantly, because he went to war in Vietnam. He was invincible. It could not be broken neither by society, nor by the country, nor by rivals.

Joe Louis takes the first line of the ranking of boxers of all time, not because he was the best heavyweight boxer, but because he set a record that has not yet been beaten by anyone. The championship title belonged to him for 11 years, eight months and seven days.

The strongest blow in boxing

In fact, the strongest boxer in the world can not be determined if it is a question of the strength of his blow. This is due to the fact that no one has ever measured the force of impact of all athletes in order to make some more or less acceptable statistics. It is worth while understanding that during the striking is not only important muscular strength, but also its knockout component. It is because of this that it is very difficult to make specific calculations. In this case, jogging and sharp jabs can be quite the same in strength, but their knockout components are completely different.

The strength of the impact of the average man is in the region of 200-1000 kg. And the bottom indicator is a good blow for the boxer in 60 kg, while the upper one - for the heavyweight. To knock out enough 15 kg in the chin area.

Despite this, in the world there is an opinion that the strongest blow from all the existed once boxers was exactly Mike Tyson.

Strongest blows

Many boxers dream of a crushing blow. World champions and applicants for this title in all weight categories always hope to finish the match ahead of schedule, but unfortunately not all have the impact of the right force. Despite the fact that the strongest blow is considered the right cross of Mike Tyson, in fact there are several other boxers who had, if not stronger, then clearly not weaker blow.

1. George Foreman - right uppercut.
2. Ernie Shavers - right cross.
3. Max Baer (rumored to knock out a real bull).
4. Joe Frazier is the left hook.

Force is not important

Even the boxer who has a crushing blow can not win without having the necessary tactical plans for every fight. All opponents are different and have their own style and strategy, and where a counterattack takes place, it is not always possible to pass a power stop. Famous boxers become those not only because of their impeccable physical training, which, of course, is also very important. But also the boxer can not do without a coach and a special psychological attitude before the fight. It is important to win the opponent already at the weighing stage.

Contemporary boxing

Despite the fact that the best boxers of the world of all time were announced, modern boxing dictates its own rules. If we talk about the achievement of the athlete, regardless of its weight category, it is currently worth noting Floyd Mayweather. He holds the title of champion of the World Boxing Council at welterweight.

The rating of famous fighters is headed precisely by this American boxer, and immediately followed by the Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko. Further rating of the best modern boxers, regardless of their weight category, is as follows:

• Manny Pacquiao.
• Juan Manuel Marquez.
• Saul Alvarez.
• Gennady Golovkin.
• Carl Froch.
• Danny Garcia.
• Adonis Stevenson.
• Sergey Kovalev.

A grand meeting

Despite the achievements of boxers of the last century, speaking of the best, we can not avoid meeting May 2, 2015, where Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather converge. Probably, there is no fan of this sport, who would not talk about the future duel. Truly great boxers of the world meet in confrontation, the rate at which will be respect and unprecedented to this time fee in a nine-figure figure. In addition, the athletes will finally decide who is the great fighter of our time and will take with him three titles.
