Its not just pressure fighters that are one dimensional, some boxers are too, a guy like Vernon Forrest really doesn't have many dimensions to his game.
Paulie Malignaggi comes to mind.Quote:

huh ?
Adrian Diaconu
Jesse Feliciano
Kermit Cintron as well.
He asked for one-dimensional fighters. Not no-dimensional fightersQuote:

Clinton Woods
Librado Andrade
Kelly Pavlik
Antonio Margarito
I think you could make a shorter list of multi-dimensional fighters.

Andrade has improved somewhat; he moves his head a bit better before he gets punched on it:p
To be honest i like Andrade, Pavlik, Margarito, but they are one dimensional IMO, but they are very good at what they do and they will take some beating.Quote:

Ironically they are my favorite current fighters right now; but they are what they are. But like you said, they are good at being one dimensional and tough enough to get the job done; though Pavlik no way has the same chin that Librado and Margarito do.
Kelly Pavlik's offense is basically jab, jab, right hand, rarely varies it and i find him one dimensional. And as someone stated on here its bit playing playing an old game of Knockout Kings where you button mash repeat the same punches and the characters are very robotic etc, which is a good way to describe Pavlik if that makes sense :-\Quote:

Well at least a guy like Pavlik can fight on the outside as well as the inside a bit. He doesn't have a ton of dimensions in that he's not gonna get on his toes and box , he just either comes forward or sets his feet but there are guys with less options than him. That sounded a bit Teddy Atlasish, I'll try not to shoot myself.
LOL yeah just about ;DQuote:

You're ok man you didn't say "again, he needs to work behind the jab"Quote:

Ruiz (The hugging dimension)

Zahir (The sleeping dimension)
Kotelnik (The same shit over and over dimension)
what about trinidad
This may cause some controversy but does anyone find Shane Mosley a tad one dimensional ? in his fights with Forrest, Wright, he could never adjust and never tried a different tactic thoughts ?
I though he adjusted in the Cotto fight pretty well at the end, both guys adjusted well actually.Quote:

With some of the definitions of One Dimensional in here, I think I would add everyone to the list except maybe Mayweather and a couple others.
All Roberto Duran ever did was move forward and throw punches!! Well that may not be entirely correct, but you get the gist of it.
I think many of you consider lateral movement the sole definition of being multi dimensional!LOL
You and your no-dimensional fightersQuote:

He is branded all the time as a one-dimensional freak.. But still he is too much for the so called HOF fighters..
Yes. He counts to 10 when he fights a top 30 heavyweight.;DQuote:

Like whats his face from Germany who retired unbeaten :rolleyes: .
Thats why I hate to watch Vic darchinian oh and Spaddafora too for that matter, no 1 and 2 right there; cause I can see ways to beat them easily and get frustrated that so called professional boxers and there trainers and corner men can't.
Power can make up for flaws even more so with the one hit and your out kind of fighters Andre its easier to watch then to do.
Yeah agreed . I think of one dimensional in the true sence as being strong on only one side of the body or one side of the mind operating one side better and using only that one side to fight from; standing side on nearly and having your whole style of fighting based on that strength/ really / weakness.Quote:

Sure, but what fuks me over is fighters who dont even try any angles and stand right in front of these types of fighters trying the same thing for 36 miniutes there is no excuse for that.Quote:
