Favourite pictures

by **HumanWindmill** Mon 04 Apr 2011, 5:07 pm

I should imagine I'm not the only one who loves browsing fight photos, new and old, and it dawned on me that some might like to share their favourites here and build up an ' image library.' If it catches on, we could even ask the admins whether or not it could become a ' sticky ' or even a sub - forum.

Let's see how it plays out.

Here are just a couple of my favourites :

Any more for any more ?

Nice idea, Windy. Always liked this bird's eye view of Ali and Cleveland Williams.

http://imagebank.ipcmedia.com/imageBank/m/Muhammad%20Ali%20vs.Cleveland%20Williams%20.jpg

Ali standing over Liston in that notorious 1965 fight is another obvious one, but I've always thought that the sheer look of confusion and shock on Patterson's face as he tries to recover from 'Ingo's Bingo' in 1959 is a great one, too.

Pity about the watermark, but I like this one, too. How's this for weight hopping ? :

Couple of beauties there, Chris.

Hadn't seen the Patterson one before.

Still one of the most perfectly-timed photographs of all time: http://www.virginmedia.com/images/marciano-walcott.jpg

Always loved this one of Dempsey, too. Lean, mean, and what a scowl. Just sums him up perfectly: http://beatsboxingmayhem.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/dempsey.jpg

This is Benny Lynch after his world title bout with Small Montana. This fight was a war and probably the great Lynchs best performance.

Lovin this thread Windy, going to try and dig a few up, but here's one of me in my younger days in the meantime.

See-more evidence that the old-time black-and-whiters are all hugely overrated. Ali's hands are down, his stance is all wrong, and his shorts aren't shiny enough. FACT.

Do you have a pictorial/illustrated history of boxing (Fleischer) Windy? Might be of interest, and some illustrations from your era too. Text isn't great but don't think that's really the point.
