The most unatural fighters
Collapse

In recent years, Joe Calzaghe.
He does everything backwards ; He keeps his hands too low, his stance too wide, he squares up when he throws and that leaves him off balance and open to being knocked down (Hopkins, Jones), he slaps with the insides of his gloves rather than punch, etc.....
Throughout his career I couldn't stomach watching him at all. I'd find myself screaming at the TV pointing out flaws and whatnot.
But he had that incredible ability to adapt to his opponet and overcome, so his style always worked for him.
On paper at least, he was very un-natural.

Yeah, Ali was definitely another one. He did a lot of things you're not supposed to do in boxing, but got away with it due to his god given talents. Things like keeping his hands held low, excessive moving, pulling away from punches, etc.......
