    We don't have much to see on film but Fitzsimmons was a renowned trap setter and seemed to amplify his power with his set ups.

    Julian Jackson somehow gets constantly mistaken as just a wild swinging brawler hoping to knockout his opponents but in actuality he was more of an aggressive boxer puncher with good punch variety and a capable counterpuncher. His performance against Buster Drayton shows how good of a technician Jackson was.

    Thomas Hearns' skills are sometimes overlooked, albeit primarily by casuals.

    Felix Trinidad showing excellent boxing ability against Larry Barnes. Trinidad’s skills has always been very underrated and it was only after he went up in weight that he became more one dimensional in his style.
