    His high guard isn't the worst technique. Bit limited maybe, but not the worst.

    This. he is the worst, and his amateur career was out of this world, at least by the numbers.

    Chin and a hard punch and nothing else at all. My God. I have seen guys look better punching who have never thrown a punch before.

    Vic makes boxing look easy by stepping back, controlling range, and hurting guys - a lot of what he did before the world class level was amazingly effective. I don't think he is nearly as bad as someone like Maussa - Vic can throw straight shots when he wants to. Ponce is pretty bad for the level he achieved.

    Hamed, he was awesome but arms flailing looked like a scarecrow caught in the wind.

    Deontay Wilder, the fact that Audley won the first round before he got stopped prematurely says it all...

    Yep, Maussa wins this.

    Also, Pascal and Cloud deserve mention.

    No, he can. Against elite opposition he doesn't show it.
