roberto duran had it all as a lightweight. he was a master of a variety of styles. he was a perfect fighting machine because he could fight inside or outside, off the back/front foot, off the ropes, cut the ring short. was a snarling nasty fighter with deceptive boxing skills and a will to win and fight hard.
Who has the "style" to beat most styles?

Winky Wright has the style to beat most fighters...boring, but none the less very effective.Originally posted by SnoopySmurfI 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).

I'd say Toney, even in the worse shape in his life, he got a draw against Rahman who looked about as great as I've ever seen him.Comment
