    Stylistically, the most unique guys around? I nominate:

    Bam Rodriguez
    Jaron Ennis
    Junto Nakatani
    Julio Cesar Martinez
    Agit Kayabel

    Who else?

    Jack Catterall - very unorthodox, awkward style
    Diego Pacheco - Mexican fighter trapped in the body of a lanky beanpole. Makes for an odd mix
    Emmanuel Navarette - off-rhythm fighter with very erratic shot selection

    Those are the ones that come to mind straight away.

    What’s so unique with Ennis? He seems to me to be another wannabe Mayweather

    I don't think he's a Mayweather clone at all, or at least not what I've seen (which tbf was a couple of years ago now). He's aggressive, takes angles by stance switching, uses tons of uppercuts, and is a tall guy who works the body well. I've not really seen anyone else who fought quite like he does.

    I don't think he's still around now, but Casimero had a very unique style.

    Espinoza and Fundora are quite unique for their relative height at the weight

    Besides those mentioned I have to say Teofimo Lopez. As inconsistent as Lopez is he has a very unique style, especially when he's not using a half assed shoulder roll attempt that he'll do very now and then. He has a style that stands out and hard to replicate.

    Emanuel Navarrete and Luis Alberto Lopez also have a unique and awkward style although very fundamentally flawed.

    Nick Ball - because he is so short but extremely stocky and strong. Really enjoy watching the "wrecking ball". Can't wait for his fight next week.

    I don't recall a similar HW to Zhilei Zhang or Tyson Fury.

    I know it’s not top tier but from an interesting/unique style point of view Bilal Fawaz springs to mind, also has an interesting backstory

    Junto Nakatani for me. Seems like a mini Tommy Hearns in the southpaw stance.

    There's not even one similarity between the two?????

    Original question:

    Fundora is far and away the most unique boxer on the entire planet. He has the dimensions of HW and the frame of a WW, but he's a volume puncher with stamina.

    Ryan Garcia is pretty unique. Has a style of his own, for good or bad.
