    The thing is fighters used what Ali did in the old days all the time. In fact Ali himself admitted he got the idea from a Jack Johnson fight.

          Well, he's certainly entitled to his own excuses, as others are entitled to such excuses as bad night, his girlfriend, cheap socks...

              To quote Richard Pryor "George Forman had an interesting style. None!"

              But I agree Naseem definitely had a unique style that I haven't seen before or since.

                    What about Chris Byrd...I admit, I don't really care for him as a fighter, but the style is pretty unique...he catches just about every jab, and I like that bobbing he does to dodge punches. In general, I like seeing when fighters can stand in front of you, make you miss your little shots, make you miss your big shots, and counter you all day. Guys like Pernell Whitaker, Floyd Mayweather Jr, and James Toney..
