Most unique boxers ever?

Let me see if I understand it.

You have created a thread saying that Calzaghe has a more unique style than Roy Jones Jr, and that Roy Jones fights the sames way as Ray Leonard?

 

Calzaghe is massively overrated because he's from a certain region of the world. He spent a decade defending a belt that WAS NOT CONSIDERED LEGIT in the boxing mecca of...WALES, while American ATG's fought in legendary fights. He then went over to decision (while getting KD'd in the process) a totally shot RJJ and a 44 year old Hopkins.

His entire legacy is a competitive win over Mikkel Kessler.

He is completely overrated and his "style" wasn't put to the test because he didn't fight other greats when they were great.

 

I'd imagine Slappy Maxie and Slappy Joe have plenty in common.

 

I don't care what anyone says, I still think Rigondeaux should have won the Casimero fight with his unique "marathon" style, one of my favourite fighters.

 

Calzaghe is massively overrated cos hes from a certain part of the world? What type of BS is that? Many top AMERICAN Fighters seem to think Calzaghe was pretty fkin good:

FMJ

SRL

Jermaine Taylor

Andre Ward

How you value his standing and his opposition is your opinion.. but I would say the majority of people don't agree with you pal.. Calzaghe was a GREAT fighter. He unified the titles against his rival champions Kessler & Lacy in two masterclass performances.. both of whom were prime while he was ageing. For that alone he deserves his props.. let alone taking Eubank on short notice or having to deal with ATG ring stinkers like Hopkins or exploding roid monsters like Reid.. even the Mitchell fight should have been a unification but the Germans screwed him like they did Brewer & Reid.. & spare me any of the endless diatribe about questionable decisions blah blah blah.. I've done it all before.. Calzaghe won end of.

 

Augustus/Burton first came to mind if I'm understanding this question right.

 

Jorge Paez
Naseem Hamed
Emanuel Augustus

 

Good shout outs on Paez and Hamed

I guess John Ruiz as well as he employed a successful year horrible strategy

 

José Napoles
Pernell Whitaker
Manny Pacquiao
Michael Spinks
Michael Nunn
Johnny Tapia
Aaron Pryor
Jung Koo Chang
Sergio Martinez

All unique styles in their own way.

 

The great Vic Darchinyan is very unique

 

Naz.

 

Deontay Wilder even if he is a mediocre boxer, his style is unlike anything I have ever seen.

Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson as well for sure.
