      I think Joe Frazier should come to mind. Besides an amazing work rate, he was very poor athletically. But his timing, movement and ring intelligence gave Muhammad Ali fits.

          His chin was very good and he also had good punching power.
          He had too many physical gifts compared with what I was looking for.

          But if you think otherwise, feel free to explain.

                  This could be A Sugar Ray Robinson thread.

                    No, you need to read the thread starters requirements.

                    He is after world class boxers who have got where they have through sheer skill but no natural attributes.

                    So basically he is after someone with unremarkable hand speed, less than average power, doubtable punch resistance, less than cat like reflexes and athleticism.

                    But this boxer must have a good level of boxing skill......therefore I'd doubt that the likes of Carlos Maussa would qualify.

                      Just read description. Thought from thread title you were looking for something else. Greb obviously had skills but I guess it was his hardiness, speed and workrate as much as his skillset.
