    Out of the 3 most unorthodox, flashy boxers who heavily relied on their athletic abilities who do you think was the most "technically skilled"?
    It's a toss up between Ali and Roy Jones, with Hamed clearly being last.

    Roy , no doubt about it. Other than disqualification lost , he dominated everyone for 15 years.

    The way he dominated Hopkins and Toney, or his knockout punch against Virgill Hill and Glen Kelly, those stuff are legendary, a work of art. When he dominated Ruiz, it was a decade after his victory against Hopkins, he stays on the top for long time.
