    I agree on a technical front Spinks is fantastically skilled, but his awkwardness and deceptive timing really added to that. The Spinks Jinx always came the moment you weren't expecting it to.

    But yes, very good jab, left hookercut, right hand, and a supreme judge of distance and timing.

    His upper body movement baffles me to this day however :lol:, awkward but it works.

    I would have to say Mayorga as well. You would have to do everything possible to ignore boxing coaching and instruction to be a clubbing brawler like him and have that level of success .

    Nicolino Locche (Because there's a 99.999 pct chance you don't have his reflexes, and you'd get your ass knocked out).

    Mayorga? No...he is one of the biggest hype jobs of all time. Never has a fighter benefiited so much off one big win. Mayorga always did suck.

    He was a street fighter turned pro boxer and managed to beat one of the most well schooled boxers in the last 20 years in Vernon Forrest, SOMEHOW.

    That's pro boxing for you, truly the theatre of the unexpected. :bbb

    Pernell was the first that came to mind because of the **** that he could pull at the elite level/past his prime

    RJJ and Hamed good shoutouts

    Gatti. Respect to the warrior and R.I.P., but no one should bloke punches with face.
