Chin - George Chuvalho
Workrate - Calzaghe (a la Lacy Fight)
Two things i disagree with , Duran did quit in the leonard fight yes , but he also showed no respect for a prime Marvin Hagler ( the look he gives Marvin when he offers his hand is priceless ) also he out toughed Iran Barkley showing him no respect , so on his day he was Macho.
Also guys like Fenech were 100 miles per hour in all fights , Calzaghe wasnt in all his fights , that why i picked Fenech. Aaaron Pryor yes , he worked at 100 miles per hour also. good pick.

Heart - Holyfied (hard to disagree)
Speed/reactions - Ali/Mayweather

But would Manny Pacquiao give Frankenboxer the worst ever beating???
