Prime fighters only. Post prime losses don't count. Barerra vs Naseem Hamed is a good one. Barerra dismantled Hamed through clean crisp punching. Rare example of a prime fast fighter being outboxed.
Tszyu vs Judah has to be the gold standard here I think, a few others I can think of: Frazier vs Ali 1 Joyce vs Dubois Usyk vs Joshua Pavlik vs Taylor Chavez vs Meldrick Calzaghe vs Lacy Froch vs Dirrell
I mean, could we stretch the boundaries and thrust forth Leonard - Duran. Duran waged war in close but he was technically immense at close quarters.
Another good example would be Nunn - Toney, tho Toney was getting comfortably outboxed until the final stages.
Yes, and interestingly in IV he was arguably the lesser technician, he gambled it all on athletic quality (power) and he won. Mad stuff. You should change your avatar soon.
...Why? There's no nudity in it (unless my prescription is failing me). Did the real life duck die or something? Anyway, yes, arguably that did happen.
A minor point, but I definitely wouldn't say Naz was prime when he fought Barerra. He was already neglecting training and head hunting. Id say his prime was probably 95 \ 96 though I completely take the point he was still undefeated at that stage and had a big reputation.
Usyk had an edge over Joshua in both hand speed and foot speed. Joshua was bigger and harder hitting so it was overcoming a size and power advantage, but not an overall athleticism advantage.
