I've only really seen his famous fights, but i noticed that Carlos Monzon would very rarely do anything other than move around his opponent, throwing jabs, straight rights and left hooks. If the opponent got too close just push his head to the side and carry on moving. If he got trapped on the ropes he would just clinch, then spin his opponent... and carry on moving.
Not sure that means he couldnt do anything else, or he just never had to because he was so ****ing good at it, but the guy was like a metronome. Awesome at what he did, and incredibly difficult to beat.Comment

You must be talking about bobby pacquiao. Even in Manny's last three fights against Rios, Bradley, and Algieri he showed different dimensions to his game. He was outboxing Rios and pop shotting him, even Floyd Sr said he was looking like his son in there. Against Bradley he was doing a bit of everything and against Algieri he was stalking and applying pressure non stop. What would floyd have done against those three fighters? He would have beaten them all sure but it would have been boring as hell because Floyd does the same thing in all his fights. I almost fell asleep just imagining what a mayweather vs algieri fight would have been like. lolPacquiao 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.Comment

You didn't see much of him. Sr did box in some fights and had one of the best come foward defense anywhereAre 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.Comment

So far the only fighter that I agree that had the fewest dimension. Foreman a foward plodder with his powerComment
