Contrast of Styles-

[mikeeod]

Junior Jones vs Barerra.
Vince Phillips vs Kostya Tszyu
Ali vs Frazier vs Foreman
Ali vs Norton
Holyfield vs Tyson
Julio Ceasar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor
Chad Dawson vs Hop (older version)
Riddick Bowe vs Holyfield

I can see everyon but the last one.
Since Holy beat Bowe slightly fight II,, are you saying Bowe still beats him the majority of times?

They do dance well together!

I feel like Bowe was nowhere near his best in the second fight, while Evander was at (close to at least) his best and still had all he could handle and eked out the win. Not saying it was a disputed win at all, just saying he fought the fight of his life against an unmotivated and undertrained Bowe and struggled mightily for the win. Bowes combination of size, jab and inside fighting ability combined to make a nightmare style match up for Evander. Evander being Evander couldn't stand the thought of not being the dominant champ and went out of his way to challenge himself and take on the much bigger man. Evander is/was the man!!!

Evandro is a coward cheat, like all cheats. But he was fun to watch. And he won me 800$ in the first Tyson fight and that was a lot of money to me at the time. So thank goodness he was a coward steroid cheat.

That is an...interesting perspective. Don't think I've EVER heard someone say Evander was a coward before. You are talking about the boxer, right?

If Canelo-Kirkland happens May 2nd, this will be a stylistic matchup for a guaranteed KO.

Broner vs anyone who brings it.

Maidana, Porter. No skill neccesary

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Ken Norton.

Had a great understanding of distance/ range/ elevation, had very good timing and was a good all round athlete. I think there is a fine line between a box-puncher and a brawler.. I think the opponent ultimately dictates to which you look more like. I'd say Cotto and Matthyse are good examples of this. Norton for me, sat in the blurred line between the two (out of choice) but with out that real game changing power it was a shame not to see him box more in the losses where he needed to. He certainly had the skill set to.
It was not just his chin than let him down in his stoppage losses but his habit of leaving himself open to left hooks. His boxing stance and all his tendencies would have been very effective against most styles except those with power and a left hook.

[SlimTrae]

Juan Diaz and Michael Katsidis were susceptible to fighters with jabs and could fight from the outside.

Solid argument.

[El Kabong]

Mike Tyson, Shane Mosely - they had trouble with the same kinds of fighters, tall guys who used height and reach effectively (Douglas, Lewis, Wright, Forrest), or guys who were just better technical boxers than them who could get rough and rowdy in the ring (Holyfield, Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Alvarez).

All day long.

I Gotta give credit to Mosley for taking on a 5'10 1/2/ Wright & a 6'0 Forrest (R.I.P)...2x!
