The Most Limited, One Dimensional Boxers

[K-Nan]

Paulie Malignaggi.

[Fox McCloud]

Pavlik may be one-dimensional, but his one dimension is friggin deep. I wouldn't put him on the list because he is so excellent at what he does. Samuel Peter is a very limited one-dimensional fighter, but he is a heavyweight so its excusable. Juan Diaz is one dimensional to a fault.

Anybody that puts Cotto, Pacquaio, or Calzaghe on the list is a bit touched in the head.

That's primarily the reason that he is one-dimensional at this point, because he has never had to shift out of his plan A. When someone figures out how to stop the 1-2, he is going to be in trouble.

Nice to see you back Wiley, it's been a while.

You're really on a mission to discredit Joe, aren't you, Addison?

No need, Tunney. He's already done that himself.

It seems like you're on a mission to suck him off. :*******:

Daniel Ponce de Leon
Vic Darchinyan

I don't really think there is such a thing as a 1 dimensional fighter.
If there was, they won't be where they are right now.
Otherwise you would figure them out from the 1st round.

[MayweatherJr.]

wrong. tua in his younger days had solid skills. he had good upper body movement and good defense. he might get hit a lot but what slugger doesn't? to be close enough to land a punch you have to be close enough to receive a punch. even harder when all your opponents have height and reach advantages over you.

being one dimensional doesn't mean NO skills. tua was 5'10 fighting guys 6'1-6'4 which large reach advantages. his size predicated that he fight on the inside.

LOL! Tua's only arsenal was his power. He can only go forward. No defense, slow, can't fight going backwards. Rahman schooled him twice but got unlucky. First fight was a controversial early stoppage the second time he got a draw which rahman clearly won it.

Miguel Cotto


and Randall Bailey.

im surprised no one said pacquiao yet.

[Left Hook Tua]

LOL! Tua's only arsenal was his power. He can only go forward. No defense, slow, can't fight going backwards. Rahman schooled him twice but got unlucky. First fight was a controversial early stoppage the second time he got a draw which rahman clearly won it.

maybe in his "fat" days but in his prime he had good defense and okay head movement. nothing great but he was solid.

he is slow footed but most heavyweights are and he can't fight going backwards because of his style. he can't fight on the outside with such a height and reach disadvantage he'll get jabbed to death.

as far as the rahman fight. the 2nd fight draw was generous to say the least to tua. the 1st fight although was stopped prematurely i think he would have stopped rahman. the shot hasim took after the bell already rung really hurt him. he was still defending ok but one more flush hook would've hurt him again.

I dont know, when I think of a One dimensional fighter I think of the following scenario:

What fighter has one specific thing (can't be to general) that if it gets neutralized or if u do it to them will mean disaster for them.

Examples:
Tua, if you can neutralize that left hook he is done.....ala Lennox Lewis.

Darchinyan, if you can avoid that looping right he is in trouble.

Cintron, you get inside on him and he is in trouble.



Mayweather, you take away his left hand, well his right hand too, maybe even amputate his legs and he becomes a one dimensional punching bag.....LOL j/k.
