    Who are some limited fighters who have nevertheless been successful in their career?

    He's fairly well-rounded actually.

    no good head movement, throws looping shots 99% of the time, slow, plodding, leaky defense. But he is still good, mainly because of good timing.

    True that; he got overrated after the Judah win on these boards. I saw absolutely zero improvement. I say Brandon Rios would KO Garcia, too bad the different promoters.

    Win's over Dirrell, Abraham, Bute, Pascal, Taylor etc... can't be that limited.

    World champions are being listed in this thread, in some cases world champions in more than one weight?

    I'd class a good but limited fighter as someone like Michael Katisidis.

    spot on. Guys like Froch may not be everyone cup of tea but there is no deneying he has world class punch resistance, stamina and work rate.

    Khan hes some very good wins and while not a great he is world class

    How about Enzo Mac - belt holder but never a true world champ but massive power and fun to watch

    You could add Audley Harrison in. Physically all the tools but lacking something mentally

    Not really a world champ when he looses most rounds to the nr1 guy in the division. Froch has his limits but due to his great chin and brilliant timming he has made it pretty far.
