    Fighters who fit the "Does nothing great, but everything well" category

    I'm talking examples like Mikey Garcia and Danny Garcia.

    What other boxers in the past have show nothing extraordinary, but were well fine tuned in ordinary looking skills.

              Good example.

              He reminds me of Bradley funnily enough.

                  Well, to a less extent (though he never be compared to the fighters already mentioned because he is that much greater and has accomplished far more), Hopkins fits in that mold.

                  Not a great KO puncher, but never to be confused with a Malignaggie. Could crack at 160, though even at Middleweight he wasn't considered a hard puncher.

                  Not really the fastest and was never considered fast even in his prime.

                  Not the greatest defense (at least it would appear that way as it does with guys like Floyd) but yet he keeps fending off fighters and never gets beat up or KO'd.

                  Not the greatest overall boxer, but late in his career displayed great technique and dominated fighters unexpectedly (I.E. Trinidad. The consensus was that Hopkins is a inside grinder and that Tito was gonna knock him out).

                  Not the greatest physical specimen yet he might be overall --the most disciplined fighter of his time. Doesn't train like a madman (Pacquiao style) in the gym, but trains moderately all year around which makes it much easier when he goes into training camp for a fight, since he is already in shape.

                  Etc,. Etc,. Etc,. You get the point.

                    I wouldn't call Trout versatile

                    everything well requires versatility
