    Where would these fighters be in there careers (essentially how good would they be) under these circumstances?

    Amir Khan - Without speed

    Amir Khan - With a granite chin

    Lucas Matthysse - Without power

    Victor Ortiz - With great ring IQ

    Tim Bradley - If he were 5'10"

    Strange thread since most world class fighters develop their fighting styles based on the physical attributes they were born with.

    They would have developed completely differently to begin with and they'd be unrecognizable to us as observers/fans from this universe.

    I always hate these exercises, they change the very nature of a fighter and then make you guess as if you could somehow know what they might be like when they could have turned out like anybody else stylistically under such radically different circumstances.

    True apart from Khan with a chin. Khan with a chin would be same fighter but p4p. Not like he fights scared!

    **** that list its all about where would they be if:
    Malignaggi had one punch knockout power
    if Haye was 6'7"
    if Jermain Taylor had stamina
    if Abraham had Paul Williams workrate
    if Berto had Dirrells foot speed
    if Joshua Clottey fought like Marco Huck

    Would it make u feel any better if I threw come magic into the question

    Lets say a genie right now took all these fighters and adjusted them as listed... Everything else about them is the same, but with that single difference

    Victor Ortiz is one of the most frustrating fighters in the world to watch. He has the skills and physical attributes to be one of the best fighters of his era but the kid does not know how to fight intelligently.

    Amir khan with a chin would be P4P number 3 or p4p number 4 and if he had good ring IQ too he would **** on everyone because hes so fast and his combinations are so fast.
