    Create the perfect heavyweight by using 1 attribute each from non all time greats. Non ATG would be anyone you would not rate in an all time top 30 heavyweight list.

    1. Height: Joe Bugner (6'4)

    2. Jab: Pinklon Thomas

    3. Right hand: Earnie Shavers

    4. Left hook: Gerry Cooney

    5. Uppercut: Alexander Povetkin

    6. Combination punching: Buster Douglas

    7. Defense and footwork : Jimmy Young

    8. Durability: Oliver McCall

    9. Work rate : Ike Ibeabuchi

    10. Ring generalship: Jerry Quarry

    I’m making the GOAT easy work

    Height / size / reach / sex appeal: Valuev
    Speed: Dokes
    Power: C Sanders
    Jab: Carl “The Truth”
    Right hand: Witherspoon
    Left hook: Tua?
    Uppercuts: Norton
    Combinations: (early HW) Toney
    Defence/ Footwork: Jimmy Young
    Durability: McCall
    Stamina / workrate: Ibeabuchi
    Heart / desire: Tokyo Douglas (his Mum tragically passes away again every bout, like a twilight zone episode)

    Name: “Sugar” Jim Carnera

    If you had to imagine an overarching style, it’d be a lot like an enormous and busy version of Young, Douglas and Toney.

    I challenge one person to think of a single real boxer who could beat this Frankenstein monstrosity.

    Maybe swap Nicky for Julius Long for that sweet 90" reach, but that's more or less it. Nothing in boxing history can hope to stop this World Breaker.
