    George Benton was a huge defensive smart fighter.

    No offense my dude, maybe run your text through a grammar check before post. I get what you mean but that title doesn't make sense and is going to kill your responses. That said Archie Moore is probably king of this category.

    The vast majority of them. Same as any other era in boxing history.

    I think Gene Tunney fought and especially developed methodically.

    Though the end of his fights was sometimes nothing but methodical

    Wasn't trying to be mean.

    You see these types of errors a lot in people who didn't have English as their first language.

    Isn't better to know you made a mistake? isn't better to know there is software out there to improve?

    If this isn't the case then I apologise for being meaner than I thought.

    Liston was a very cool methodical fighter, at times quite negative, just happy to sit back and coast to an easy win on points if the opportunity arose.

    Most were. Even the ones that didn't seem methodical like Aaron Pryor.
