Some guys could get away with abandoning the fundamentals of boxing and could not only survive, but flourish and dominate based on their pure raw talent. their in-ring performances became an art that was unlike the art of the sweet science.
b-hop, juan marquez, winky wright - these guys mastered boxing which in itself is an artform, but not what I am talking about here.
the guys that i am talking about are roy jones, prince naseem, sugar ray robinson, sugar ray leonard, ali, calzaghe and others like that - these guys used their natural abilities to break rules and innovate. they did things that normal humans couldn't do by contorting their bodies, using superhuman speed to institute unorthodox punches, movement and angles often adding elements of entertaining, and flashing in the ring.
that being said... who is your favorite in-the-ring virtuoso- the man that, to you, transcended the sweet science, because he was too good to have to play by mortal men's rules of engagement???!!!???....
Mine is probably obvious to anyone that has read my posts in the forum-
ROOOOYYY JOOONEEES!
