    Stylistic nightmares.

    What were some fights where a fighter lost to a less-skilled fighter, simply because it was a bad style match-up for him?

      They lose by a rocky punch, their chins betray them, get caught in body. IDK if in any other way they can lose to a less skilled one.

          how was it a sh-itty matchup? pac landed more punches, cleaner punches, and had better defense. floyd couldn't handle pac's speed and kept getting hit clean while pac was picking most of floyd's shots. sh-itty judging sure but floyd did nothing in that fight to say it was a matchup that favored him.

                  Maidana didn't beat Mayweather but you could argue that it was a bad style matchup for Floyd. An unpredictable fighter who couldn't have his soul taken and be demoralized.

                    I'm not sure if Fury was less skilled than Wlad in a way, but i think Fury would have been a stylistic nightmare for any version of Wlad. Maybe he wouldn't have always beaten him, but he always would have made him look bad.
