    Those are the ones i consider special. However Jones, Pac and Mosley i think are more so Physically special than anything else.
    The rest of those are more special to me because they make due with what they have and have become great because of learning the technical game. PBF could maybe be more physically gifted too but he is also pretty good technically.

    Hopkins, Pacquaio, Jones Jnr, Marquez and Mosley will most certainly be HOFers - the rest have a chance - i could also see Valuev, Froch, Dirrel, Taylor and Haye falling from that list in the months ahead

    when i say special though... i dont mean special from an aspect of being proven or not... i mean talented, physically & mentally special....

    no disrespect but he obviously isn't a special fighter

    Neither Pavlik or Williams are special.
    Pavlik is just a guy with good power and in a pretty empty division.
    Williams is just a guy who has freakish physical attributes but nothing special about him.
