    Who has the "style" to beat most styles?

    I can think of three: Winky Wirght, Erik Morales and Floyd Mayweather

    Erik has those straight-as-a-laser power punches that carry a lot of power from any distance. Mayweather hits you hard from all angles and slips so many counters it's like watching a ballet dance. He makes people go "wooooow". Erik makes people go "Oh ****, here he comes!" Winky is a defensive tank. You hit his guard and you've just been stiffed by a hard jab. Repeat.

    Erik is the most vulnerable of the three but it's coz he fires so much during the battle (see Barrera and Raheem fights).

    Any thoughts? Opinions? Disagreements?

    I would say Toney, He has the Power, Chin, Stanima, and just allaround great skill to be successful in any weight class. Oh yeah i forgot Speed.

        I would say Hatton, only because his style is ugly(you know what I mean) but very very effective!

              Calzaghe.

              Basically the guy has the chin and strength of a light-heavy/cruiser but with faster hands than a lightweight. How do you beat him? He'll probably have better stamina than you, and more than likely more masterful timing and more masterness of distance.

                You can't be too chess-like against Calzaghe because he will simply out-work you, and you can't be too aggressive because he'll pick you off with fast combinations.

                  Got to go with the Winkster. He can beat boxers or punchers or awkward fighters (Soliman). His defense is simply so impenetrable and he has fast hands. Very difficult style to compete against. He may not have the most crowd pleasing style but I doubt there is anyone with a tougher style to beat.

                    I think you just might have to catch Calzaghe with a lucky punch.

                    Or break his hand with your head.
