    George Foreman.

    All the guy had was power and a chin, he managed to beat one of the supposed greatest fighters ever in Joe Frazier like he was nothing, he also kicked Ken Nortons ass. While I think the 70s HW's are vastly over-rated, you can't argue with his success and ability to come back in his 40s and use his power/chin to get a title.

    Trinidad was multi-faceted for parts of his career, he just turned into a guy who thought he had to one shot everyone he faced.

    Foreman was never anything more than a big angry bear who threw wide, looping power shots that for some reason landed.

    How so? he was the definition of a swarmer which everyone seems to call one dimensional he only fought one way if he's not one dimensional neither is Frazier or Margarito otherwise define one dimensional for me.

    Marciano, he just kept coming. Didn't change his game plan, but no one could figure how how to survive it.

    Marcino ... is another fail ... just because you don't change your game plan doesn't mean that he's one dimensional ...

    I can also say this ... Marcinao was 185-190 lbs fighting as a HW ... thats ridiculous to say that he was one dimensional ... he had to have more dimensions than anyone he was fighting being at such a physical disadvantage.
