A lesser fighter you feel could beat a greater fight due to wrong style?

    Interesting, do you think due to Khan's work rate? Do you feel Floyd doesn't have the power to exploit Amir's chin?

    I think Kahn has a good jab and a big hand speed advantage. And yes I don't think Floyd has the power to take advantage of Kahn's chin. Kahn is hard to outbox.

    I think David Tua has a shot to beat guys like Ken Norton and Floyd Patterson.

    With that right hand, Wilder has a puncher's chance against anyone. Especially today, when refs are a lot less lenient in letting a fighter continue.

    Is it likely? No.
    Zero chance? Hell no.
    Is it likelier than him winning a decision? Hell yes.

    Pretty much this Brian Mitchell was just a fantastic boxer very underrated, his fundamentals were top notch along with his footwork and discipline to stick to his boxing. Stylistically i see him being a bit of nightmare for Arguello in all honesty.

    Ken Norton for sure. Horrific style favoring his left for everything, looked worse than gumby!

    Norton wins a MD over Tyson Fury. Fury never had the firepower to keep Ken off him for long. Ken's body shots really take their toll on Fury, and the latter is staggered more than once during the fight. Fury is clever enough to win the early rounds, but his showing in the final rounds does him in.
