    Yes, you can if you are physically a beast.

      Thought this thread had Hatton written all over it. Debatable as to whether he's world class though, but if people are putting Zab forward....

          Paul Williams is a good one.

          Devon Alexander might have the syndrom.

            you think all boxers are that fundamentally sound?it's an attribute that not everyone is good at.how many time do you watch a fight and say such and such makes great adjustments?

                i don't think williams fits that mold,he can actually adapt at time but it just seems as if he prefers to fight a certain way and sticks to it

                  Depends how much you are dumb.

                  If you are a complete ****** in the ring like Pavlik, JT,Sam Peter,P Will or Abraham (all are beasts) then yes.

                  But if you are just dumb and with a decent trainer like Shane,Oscar or Tito, then it's ok, you can be worldclass.
