    Thomas Hearns. Murderous puncher, fine boxer.

    Roberto Duran. No explanation needed.

    On a secondary level, John Mugabi. He was an underrated boxer when at his best.

          Thought he fought primarily as a slugger at both ages

              I'd go with young Ali who was fast and could stand on the outside and snap that jab at ya until he could overwhelm you with punches.

              Then he got old and couldn't do that as much, so he started to utilize the "rope-a-dope" strategy a lot more.

              And obviously, "Pretty Boy Floyd" versus "Money Mayweather"

                Marco Antonio Barrera, pressure fighter onto a crafty boxer puncher.

                Would had likely beaten JMM if he was younger. Also hitting him after he was knocked down didn't help him in the scorecards.

                    canelo went from counter puncher to walking down / pressure fighter.


                    tyson fury, went from boxer to also pressure/in fighter with wilder.
