Duran and Leonard for sure. Camacho could change it up. Oscar was also pretty versitile. he could box well and utilize his footwork and jab or he could stand and trade, brawl even when needed.
This one is an interesting choice, and one I think I might disagree with to a great extent, though one could argue equally successfully that I'm simply wrong. I would say he's not because when I went through the process of thinking of different fighters to add to the list, I was thinking of guys who could change and adapt mid-stream, adjust in the middle of a fight when they saw something wasn't working. I didn't see that in Norris. He had a great array of skills, and could box beautifully (Brown II) or slug like a beast, but I can't think of any instances when he did both in the same fight. He should have in the first Brown fight, where it seemed like every time he went in to attack he was getting tagged. He should have adjusted and let Brown start to come to him, but he just kept boring in and trying to exert his will.
got to give floyd nayweather props where its due, he constantly adapts throughout a fight as he works out his opponent, in addition to being highly skilled in almost evry type of fight. very versatile fighter.

I think so also. Ray could do anything. He even fought Duran's fight in 1980 and was not knocked out. Great fighter.
I am not sure Duran was versatile. That was part of his problem, he could not deal with a guy who was not in front of him. Not a great fast guy. I would say Duran was great at what he did and how he fought, but versatility was his weakness.
