Who is the best non-technician of all time?

[Rick Grimes]

Mike was never technical. He was an animal.

I agree, apart from the upper body/head movement to get in close.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Yeah thats it. Side to side head movement..........then hayemakers.

The topic can be perceived many ways though.

Non-Technical as in a pure fighter with little boxing technique? Maybe a guy like George Foreman comes to mind.

Or

Non-Technical as in a fighter like RJJ whos talent consisted of way more athlethic prowess and very little technique.

Tommy Hurricane Jackson had no visibel boxing skill whatsoever and got a #1 heavyweight rankings. His punches were like long sticks randomly poking at his opponent weakly but relentlessly. He always punched moving backward and ineffectivley. But his stamina, reach and iron chin gave him the quality wins over Ezz, Norkus and Layne.

If he had just been able to pull out the close decision over Patterson (who had a broken hand) in the first fight he could have been heavyweight champion of the world, craziness.

Both... I feel like the keys to technique are hands up in defense, jab starting things and straight punches with the right hand and the left hook thrown correctly.
