    Where are the heavyweight stylists?

    Pretty simple question, where are people that can make you tune in just for their styles? The likes of Ali or Tyson for example. We just have these big lumbering oafs who plod around the ring throwing out jabs and right hands so slow that even 60 year olds can see them coming.

    So, are there any prospects who may actually be fun to watch?

        This is true and sad. AJ looks the part but can be a bit too robotic, like all the big men from Lewis to Wlad and beyond.

          It make me even more sad that Tyson hes problems now,Tbh there is no HW with unique style now,what made Ali so remarkable was his Charisma and will to win and be the greatest,Fury have charisma but no passion to boxing and will to win,i would like to have some charismatic fighter even if he is plodder,tbh i never understood Floyds fenomen he is boring,and he have no charisma at all,idk how can somebody call this guy charismatic,yet he sells like crazy.Alis times was also more interesting and his carrere have this context,some hated him some loved,he wasnt a saint himself too,things he done to Joe were disgusting.Fury would have his Joe and George in Wilder and AJ but they arent so charismatic like George,or have aura like Joe and a context and background built fights like Ali vs Frazier or Foreman vs Ali they had an epic aura,you get me?

            Fury and Ortiz are exactly what you are looking for dude. Where have you been? That's a better question.

              It's just pure opinion really whether an odd style such as Tyson Fury's is unique and wonderful, or ugly.

                  ^This. As soon as he got on HBO he turned heads. Those of us who were skeptical saw him sleep Jennings and have been begging to see him in high-profile fights ever sense.

                  Because someone is bound to say it, yes, he's old, we get it. But, he has more technique than any active HW.

                    Fury is clumsy af.

                    Ortiz is slow and stands right in front. He is hardly a stylist.
