    Joe Louis: Combination punching
    Jack Dempsey: Combination punching
    Sonny Liston: Intimidation
    Mike Tyson: Intimidation.
    Joe Frazier: Left hook.
    Floyd Mayweather: Defense
    Battling Nelson: Durability

      I love the left hooks of Trinidad and Olivares. I think Tszyu had a great right hand.

      Combination punching Marquez and Arguello. Holyfield for a big guy.

      Body punching Mike McCallum

      Defense Niccolino Locche and Wilfred Benitez.

      Temperament and poise Salvador Sanchez and Jose Napoles.

        Determination I'd say guys like Frazier and Marciano. They kept going after an opponent and had the attitude they would not be denied, until one of them went down, the ref stepped in or the bell rang.

        Punching power, Foreman, Lison and for the smaller guys, Jackson, Zarate, Hearns at welter

        Heart-Holyfield, Marciano, Gatti

          Ray Robinson - Chin, speed, and power. I know you said 'single', but I think he is probably top 10 in history in all those areas, which is why he is probably considered the greatest fighter of all time.

            Intimidation is not an asset. Both Liston & Tyson got whipped despite their "intimidation" game. Ali put a beating on Liston in their first bout and Evander stood in front of Mike and whopped him.
            Heart is the most important asset.

            Ray.

              Ward: Ring IQ
              Ingo: Right hand
