Can you be a great fighter and a 1 dimensional plodder at the same time?

    Joshua Clottey is a very "set" fighter. You could call his footwork plodding, but he has a great shell defense and can counterpunch quite well.

    In his latter years yes, but not his prime. He through haymaker flurries, who does that?

    You can be really limited and also really successful if you are just a ridiculous physical specimen. Giovanni Segura doesn't put on clinics but he has bricks for hands. Joe Frazier was little more than a left hooking machine. It happens. Some guys come to rely on their power and don't develop plan B.

    Erik Morales has never definitely beat a boxer in his career. After Tavern boxed him to a through UD, he never fought a boxer again or a Black guy.

    Marciano. PurE seek and destroy. Hundreds of punches a round and a chin and strength to take anything coming his way;especially for a small man
