One-Dimensional fighters.

Clinton Woods
Librado Andrade
Kelly Pavlik
Antonio Margarito

How is Pavlik one-dimesnional ?

Yeah Margarito is. He just keeps on coming forward throwing shots, that's it.

I almost named the last 3 names you wrote down, but I'm a coward and didn't feel like getting bashed

Andrade has improved somewhat; he moves his head a bit better before he gets punched on it

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.

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

[OumaFan]

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

I think you could make a shorter list of multi-dimensional fighters.

Probably so.

"One dimensional" has just become a catch phrase to describe pressure fighters really.

You're ok man you didn't say "again, he needs to work behind the jab"
or "solid amateur background", so I think your ok.

Valuev
Ruiz (The hugging dimension)
Oganov
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.

Does Tye Fields count?

[Deanrw]

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

[Violent Demise]

Does Tye Fields count?

You and your no-dimensional fighters

[Spicoli]

What about Glen Johnson
