thats true.

Greg Haugen.

The guy couldnt punch, was not a very good defensive fighter, didnt have quick hands but he was tough as nails.

His fights with Vinny Panzienza are classics...at least in my mind.

If there was ever a fighter who got the most out of their ability it would be Greg Haugen.

The names so far listed dont even compare to THE MUT!

i'd probably vote for Ruiz. Mayorga may be an example too, not to mention Carlos Maussa and Jorge Barrios. But I get the feeling thats how they fight down there.

Skills and ability are two very different things.

Chin, endurance, punching power are all talents.

A guy like Samuel Peter is actually a freak of nature and extremely talented. I'd consider Samuel Peter more talented than Winky Wright, who wins more or less through skill and sticking to his gameplan 100%. If you win your fights more on the merits of natural ability than skill, you are talented.

People tend to consider only handspeed, agility and overall athleticism as talents which seems to me like a fairly narrowminded perspective.

Why was Max Baer considered one of the most talented heavyweights of all time? He wasn't quick by any stretch of the imagination. It's because he was extremely powerful, had great endurance, and possessed one of the best chins the division had ever seen. Each of these qualities is just as much a talent as handspeed or superb reflexes.

Mayorga. Peter. Maussa.
