    Got me thinking recently how Floyd is widely known for ad******g throughout a fight to suit what the opponent brings. Look at the Guererro fight, ghost bought it in spades first two rounds then floyd began ad******g and nullified him completely, through ad******g his approach. Same with Cotto, Floyd kept ad******g and mixing up to keep Cotto honest.

    Junior Witter was known for ad******g his stance switch hitting etc but less so for ad******g his approach and game plan, ie ad******g during a fight to counter what the opponent brings.

    Which got me thinking about Calzaghe. He was getting beating by kessler, began ad******g. Ad******g his footwork, ad******g his punch output and ad******g his angles. Same as against BHop, who ultimately couldn't cope with the continuous ad******g he faced from JC. Although could have gone either way clearly.

    And when Lennox fought ****** Fortune he began ad******g almost immediately and quickly scored a KO4 which I don't think would have come had he not been so adept at ad******g his style. Could equally be said that ****** Fortune should have been ad******g his style to avoid getting ko'd, but ultimately an elite Lewis had been ad******g in the ring against some top guys at that point.

    Calzaghe was the master at ad******g.
    RJJ should learn. Instead of ad******g he keeps getting knocked out

    2nd best fighter at the min at working any style out.. just behind floyd. If marquez beats bradley and broner beats malignaggi i'd be really interested to see those two go at it.

    Super Hans, I think you're rather missing the point. There's a certain word you need to use as many times as possible in your post(s) on this thread.;)

    See how many '*'s you can get without actually swearing, and while remaining meaningful.

    What about Mayweather-Oscar? Are there adjustments there? I've never seen such a change in fortune half on half.
