    Emile Griffith? -adaptibility seems to be the consesnus here, i'll go with that, ut punches in bunches is a good shout, they were fast aswell

    Salvador Sánchez? - stamina/ring presence

    Eder Jofre? - well roundedness no doubt.

    Ricardo Lopez? - textbook skills (technically correct boxing at its best)

    Charley Burley? - booming right hand

    MAB? - heart (at times, possibly ring generalship at others)

    BHop? - ring generalship, cream of the crop

    Michael Spinks? - awkwardness! Kidding, in and out movement?

    Pascual Perez? - Like Sweet Pea i'll go with my reads, relentlessness

    Ezzard Charles? - fluidity for me, but you could pick so many, maybe im just trying to go against the 'adaptibility' grain.

    Yes. I guess you knew with his shorts. Not the usual gold with red trimming but the other way around.

    Well robbi,i wanted to make the point that after the hagler and schuler fights at 160 hearns went back down to 154 to defend against medal. In the medal bout it was the only reputed time that hearns struggled to make the weight,can you see the size of his arms,shoulders and upperbody in your picture? It seems to me that this is when hearns lost a yard of pace and mobility by adding too much muscle mass. Hearns seemed to be at his most mobile at 147 and 154,what do you think of this theory?
