    Calling a fighter a one trick pony is always a little harsh IMO.

    But an obvious example is Wilder as arguably his only special talent is his power.

      I dunno, guys with little variability to their game would be Eubank Jr or Joe Joyce off the top of my head. Julio Cesar Martinez is also quite one note even if that note caves your skull in.

        Oh almost forgot Jarrett Hurd although he did try to change it up last time out against Santana. It looked sloppy and unnatural to him to box like that even though he dominated.

                  The Zodiac is looking for the next victim to announce his return. This one will be high profile and loud. A boxer will do. How do you take out a boxer though? You identify which ones only have one strength and then you work towards neutralizing that strength.
                  It’s. Not. Over.

                    Wilder is the biggest one.

                    Haye at heavyweight became one, at cruiserweight at times he showed a good jab, but he lost that at heavyweight and basically used to just dance outside before leaping in with a big right hand. He still had more versatility than Wilder but he was pretty predictable.
