Hell yes, sure he does. My top 5 offensive fighters of all time read like this. In this order sir;
1. Harry Greb -he's the full definition of a swarmer. " The Pittsburgh Windmill", he is just that. He'll attack on all fours. The Whole Nine yards? he'll give it to ya, and more. He'd play dirt if you want. He'll suffocate his opponents with his relentless attack. Dempsey wanted nothing of Greb who beat his *** in their sparring sessions.
2. Joe frazier - Joe would enter the ring and he'll leave it smoking. Joe was to HW as Harry was in MW and this with no foul. It's a coincidence both men fought with poor eyesight. Imho, the world aint seen how good these two fella really are.
3. Mike Tyson - In the 80's?? i was baby in the 80s..i was born in the time Mike ruled the boxing world. Now, how the hell a toddler like me then became a fan if not for his offense. Tyson was mean and knows only the way forward. He'll make quick of every 12 round fights. Jimmy Lennon begins"Needs no further introduction!!! Iron Mike Tyson! and before you know it the fight already ended.
4. Roberto Duran -when you face Roberto anywhere, you DO RUN! . Leonard applied it after tasting the offensive prowess of Hands of stone in Canada. Manos De Piedra is what they call him and surely it was an apt name for the legend Duran
5. Sugar Ray Robinson - The greatest of all time had it all and every punch in the book. He was the sweetest and he was a master. Wiki had this for SRR - "Robinson was 85–0 as an amateur with 69 of those victories coming by way of knockout, 40 in the first round. He turned professional in 1940 at the age of 19 and by 1951 had a professional record of 128–1–2 with 84 knockouts. From 1943 to 1951 Robinson went on a 91 fight unbeaten streak"

Of course, he curses and swears at people, bit Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield, raped someone too, he tops the list for me. Very objectionable during his career, OK nowadays though
