    And then there's Ken Norton.
    This post up above is correct.

    Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Junior, Prince Naseem Hamed all fighters who? Did things outside of the text book 'There is a stereotype that fighters like this, have poor fundamentals' I disagree, Fundamentals are for novices 'Truly great fighters go beyond the fundamentals' even from a technically perspective Floyd Mayweather was quite a straight up and down fighter, he had no flare or tricks.

      Hamad i always felt was a hard style to duplicate and Floyd’s shoulder roll is harder than it looks.

        I don't expect intelligent responses from you. So the fact that you have no legitimate counter point is not shocking.

        The fact that you think Mayweather ran from Jesus Chavez shows how much you really don't know about boxing which is why you try to hide it with your nonsense.

          One has to love the complexity of Marciano and his incredible ring generalship, which prevailed every time out against opponents as complex as Charles and Walcott.

          As suggested by Apples, lopsided defensive specialists are not as complex. Mayweather & Locche are not as complex as Robinson, for he was complex to be deadly and they were complex mainly to stay safe and tap away rounds.
          Neither was Marciano, Lef.

            - -As I recall, the HBO crew had him behind unofficially.

            That was my introduction to Floyd and Manny, so sorry if it hurts your worship to understand I was less than impressed with either.

            Manny of course turned me around with Barrera in San Antone.

              There's no worship from me. You talk about Mayweather far more than I do. He probably hurt you personally. That's your diversionary tactic when you say something ****** and incorrect.

              You said Mayweather ran from Chavez which couldn't be further from the truth. The HBO scorecard wasn't the topic. Don't run from your ignorance now. Not the first or last time you'll display your lack of knowledge.

                - -The boy ran from Tyny Jesus. HBO who had apparently been gushing over him couldn't stomach the stink.

                Conversely Manny never ran

                  Just another example that you don't know boxing lol. Your fake act doesn't cover it either.

                  So where's the running here?

                      I see that the Rock is being short shrifted again in the complexity department.

                      Rock's ring generalship was the most complex in the history of the game, but it was all a deep ruse. He had opponents convinced he was defensively irresponsible and easy to smack. Then they tried to hit him. Eel slippery, that boy, yet he appeared uncouth and clumsy, by buggery, to audience and foe alike. This deception was instilled in every aspect of his game. Such trickery takes immense skill and complexity to pull off.
