    This is mentioned a lot with Tyson Fury. Who else would you say used these kind of movements to good effect? I can’t help feeling that it’s a style that went out of fashion and now it will be back in.

    Fury has far better fundamentals than Naz had.

    Vit klitschko. He looked unco as **** and was well awkward.

    It's a shame wlad existed. I feel like vitali was the champion the world wanted. His whole legacy was stolen by his pathetic brother.

    I liked both bothers to be fair. But ya, I preferred Vitali. He was a real dog with absolute iron whiskers.

    Sergio was a pleasure to watch in his prime and I feel besides RJJ might have had the best speed+power combo using this style.. I would have loved to see Prime Sergio vs GGG..
    Also Tyson Fury if effective with this style because top HWs in the past 20 years have been more on the flat foot side and he freezes them with the constant feints to go along with the 6’8+ frame.. I believe Fury vs Wlad would play out the same way regardless of the time they fight..

    I don't understand. Do you want guys who feinted or who were awkward?

    Herol Graham. Very similar to Prince Naz. From the same stable, unless I'm mistaken?
