    Which fighter when they get in to a rhythm is the hardest to beat? Who has the most unique fighting rhythm, and who is the hardest to take out of their rhythm?

    I say Calzaghe is the hardest to beat when he is in a rhythm.
    Hah, Augustus has to have the most unique
    A toss up between Margarito and Calzaghe as far as taking one out of their rhythm.

    IMO

    floyd by far because he uses his rhythm to disrupt yours and always figures out your rhythm to disrupt you offensively and defensively...

    its a 2 way sword...

    but hes "retired"

    so ill go with calz maybe paul williams... probably any high volume puncher can fit into this catagory

    i dont really think Margo has much rhythm...he has one style and sticks to it throughout the fight...

    Calzaghe is a much better "rhythm" fighter...

    Jones used to be a great rhythm fighter
    Mosley as well...
    Mayweather can be noted

    Yes Paul Williams is a great choice, however he was taken out of it in the late rounds against antonio

    I believe in order to be a great rhythm athelete you must have superior mental abilities. When Kobe Bryant gets in to an unstoppable rhythm he is soo dangerous because HE KNOWS he can beat you. Same with Joe C, displaying dominant body language and being able to act on split second decisions using your second nature is a very special attribute, and one I admire greatly

    mayweather, you see in alot of fights when he gets in a rythem he is very hard to beat. For example in the hatton fight it was competitive for first 5-6 rounds but when mayweather got into his rythem in rounds 7 8 9, he showed how good h was

    well the orgional question also stated who is the hardest to take out of their rhythm, I agreed Paul has a great one, just saying he can be taken out of it if the right gameplan is used by a fighter who is capable

    Although I am a harcore Calzaghe hater, and NEVER deny it, I have to say Joe takes this. It's probably his single greatest asset. After about 4 or 5 rounds Joe steps on the gas, and the other guy just can't keep up.
