    Loma, but Chocolatito is one of my favorites prior to him getting KTFO

    I voted Loma but, you can argue that Loma uses his physicality as well. Explain why Pac should not be in the mix. He often fought larger men, so over powering them with shear size was not possible.

    I like Khan, but his best win is Maidana.
    Khan literally fights for his life for most rounds.

    He lead with the right hand at times. Baited and even wobbled Hamed hard with a straight right hand.

    I'm not even a big Loma fan and I created the thread. Ignoring Loma for a second Linares is an extremely polished technician.

    Roy and Mayweather are the only two that come to mind who actually had certain punches and combos that others couldn’t comfortably use. Triple hook: Roy (or a slow motion version by Tua). Hook from behind the back=Roy. Check hook= Mayweather and sometimes Roy. Shoulder roll counter right hand: Mayweather and Toney.

    It doesn’t matter, maidana is better p4p than anyone on Linares resume in terms of wins. Linares has beaten even one B level fighter unless you wanna consider Luke Campbell B level.

    sure, but hes beat nobody and gotten smoked more than once. surely there are more deserving offensive fighters to be on that list, unless hes there to make lomas place all the more impressive.

    Dude had the best left hook in the game in the early 2000s. He doubled up in the left hook against Morales numerous times in their first fight. In the last round he wobbled Morales HARD to his core with a flush check hook. Morales then went down moments later in the round.

    Hard to argue with this.
