    Greatest fighters with the fewest dimensions, name them

    I'd like to hear it, just something I thought of whilst thinking about how limited Pacquiao can be in some areas.

    Pacquiao has to be the least well rounded great fighter I've ever seen. Can't fight backwards, cant' fight in the pocket, has a weak jab, has troube adapting to his opponent. It's insane, but he's incredibly fast and explosive! With solid punching power and an above average chin.

      Frazier was basically just a little bulldog. He was never going to dance or do much besides bull forward and kick your ass, yet he's one of the great heavyweights ever. Same with Tyson.

      If Wlad can't keep you at length and hug you to death, he's screwed. Thankfully for him no one gives a **** about his ridiculous clinching.

      I wouldn't go so far as to call Rigo great, but he's mostly one-handed and can only fight at range.

        Erislandy Lara is the best current example. One dimensional but damn good at that one dimension.

            Are Lara and Bradley really considered great fighters?I would say that Chavez Sr is a good example.He was never fleet of foot or a superb tactician,or even an extraordinary puncher.He got by on superior mental fortitude,a world class chin,and an indomitable will.

              Heavily disagree. He had great technical skill.

                He great at cutting off the ring,but overall technical prowess was probably slightly above average.

                    he's hurt guys like marg going backwards.

                    he's outfought many in the pocket especially younger days.

                    dropped cotto with a jab iirc.

                    pac adapts all the time, litle adjustments like going over cotto's jab to take it away.
