"Most of the fighters that I emulated were real lightweight guys, guys like Tony Canzoneri, Kid Chocolate, Henry Armstrong...the little guys that were just so exciting to watch. And that's how come I knew I would be an exciting fighter because I had the speed and the power" - Mike Tyson

[@joecanzoneri1586]

My cousin was one hell of a fighter!!!

[@franctomstheestevernisfros646]

I WAS CALLED LITTLE TONY FOR THE WRINKLES IN MY FOREHEAD,,,,FRAN FROST,,,JOE WAS TO TRAIN ME,,,1963,,,,,

[@BetteLovr]

My grandpa fought both Canzoneri and McLarnin.. Sammy fuller. Those were great fighters back then.. No dancing all heart! Now if I could just find video of his come back in the 30's.

[@jedzavio]

I bought Sammy Fullers house

[@corytclark]

I think my dream fight would be Tony Canzoneri vs. Henry Armstrong.

[@tjc5150]

[@823077]

I knew his brother Jack.

[@georgemendes6844]

tony canzoneri Man, your uncle was a very, very great boxer! Best regards.

[@colincampbell7928]

An all time great for sure with an incredible CV. 5x lineal champion over 3 divisions! Wow, a legend!

[@baldylocks2009]

Thanks for this video, Tony was and is still a legend of the ring.

[@stuartperry1047]

Beautiful boxing. Absolutely beautiful.

[@BrianZelley]

TONY CANZONERI is one of the all time greats.

[@sunnygarcia1231]

This was a really good put together video. Tony had some of the best movement and feinting, I've ever seen in a boxer. Surprised there isn't a published biography on him . Found nothing on Amazon. Other boxing greats have one.

[@youngstoney707]

cus damato loved the slipping and weaving of tony, and tyson emulated it, especially canzoneris habit of sticking his tongue out at the fighter

[@rock0052]

brilliant fighter, thanks for uploading.

[@stormbringer3788]

Fighters back then were FIGHTERS...tough as nails. Most modern day fighters are all flash and no substance....12 rd title fights and early stoppages, fighting 1x per year etc. They are some modern fighters that are the exception to the rule, but they are few and far between. All the Floyd Mayweather Jr. hype...lol he'd be lucky to be in the top 10 of his wt class from the 20's - 80's.

[@praetorianus72]

What a great warrior

[@brianlowe17]

read about Tony Canzoneri and what a great lightweight he was AND IT IS TRUE....WHATTA FIGHTER!!!

[@JohnValencia70]

Smart fighter

[@nicocontreras5366]

Nice video and I was gonna ask for the beautiful song ...

[@TheGreatA]

Morricone-La Piovra-Octopus Vol 5

[@rainpuddles87]

mike tyson references tonys speed in his documentary

canzonery que gran boxeador

[@yacayou]

canzoneri really liked to stand infront of his opponent with his hands down and chin out... even then they mostly couldnt hit him, and when they miss they bettter watch out!

[@Ciscogu100]

your videos are so Great, Make one of Eder Jofre, and Ray Robinson

[@gibememoni]

probably the slickest white man ever, him or willie pep. Both italians........

[@JMatos95]

nice

[@ayomaggots6147]

Nicolino Locche was Italian (in descent) as well.

[@rory693]

That footwork, not like Ali or Robinson but very shifty whilst staying in punching range. I used to like Orlando Canizales for a similar style.

[@samtotheg]

tony was a better boxer than floyd understood distance and angles..another fighter who fights similar to tony canzoneri is the great charley burley,you know the guy who is so good he was ducked by sugar ray robinson .

[@samtotheg]

samtotheg in fact if you watch the charley burley video ..you can see principles tony canzoneri is executing here ..(the putting the head on the false line of attack and then gaining the initiative!

[@TainoMantis]

+samtotheg Yes sir. Tony and the other top "Golden Age" boxers knew techniques that are now considered 'lost'. Besides using the little half step back (a defensive move to exploit an opponent's missed punch), Tony actually used to throw and miss punches ON PURPOSE. All of this to see if you would counter to an open area that he wanted you to counter. He would then counter your counter. This is high level stuff built upon the usual outside slips, inside slips, ducks, weaves, head feints, arm feints, level changes, side steps, and changes of rhythm.

[@samtotheg]

yes yes yes taino you know yer shit ..duran was pretty good at countering the counter too ..especially the right hand (floyds pull counter would get countered)

[@Sedative85]

The name of the song at the begininng??

[@BoxingComedian]

What music is that, in the beginning?
