That is a hard thing to answer. James Toney controlled many fights doing nothing but fighting off the ropes. He laid back and made guys that should have stayed away come to him. When he fought Holyfield, he went and got him. Guys like Chavez (SR), Ricardo Lopez, Buddy McGirt and Toney were all top flight ring generals and they all had very different styles.
Take the time to learn the game, how to fight and how to defend at any range...Because range/distance and controlling it is the key to being an effective ring general. It is by controlling distance that you control the terms of the fight.
