Pretty hard to tell, John Conteh had a fantastic jab. And could often win fights with his jab alone, he pretty much dominated Yaqui Lopez with just his left jab.
Some people say John Conteh was a one handed fighter, i disagree its only when he had bad problems with his right hand. That he become a one handed fighter, he did have a pretty good right hand before his right hand problems.
And he did have underrated movement aswell, i think a prime John Conteh may of won a decision. He had great boxing skills and Joe Calzaghe at times, when he comes forward is off balance especially against Bernard Hopkins. So i think John Conteh would keep on his toes, and exploit that weakness.
It would of been a great fight though John Conteh is underrated IMO, he beat Matthew Saad Muhammad despite being floored multiple times. And despite being past his prime.
