    What were some fights where a fighter lost to a less-skilled fighter, simply because it was a bad style match-up for him?

    Paul The Punisher Williams was the epitome of a stylistic nightmare for any fighter.

    How the hell did he lose to Quintana, i would never know.

    Williams didn't know how to use his height and reach, and his defense was ****.

    That wasn't about styles. That was about Campbell exposing the very flawed, front running hype job.

    No it was styles. Campbell could fight on the inside better than the baby bull, and more importantly he could get rough and dirty in there, using elbows to create distance. He's had that style his whole career basically, and Diaz, didn't know how to deal with it.

    Barkley was an awful match up for Hearns, he beat him even when Hearns tried to box.
    On the other side, Hearns was too much for Duran to handle.
    Norton wasn't giving Foreman, Cooney or Shavers troubles, but he was a nightmare for Ali.
    Foreman walked through Frazier, no one was able to do that.
    No one ever beat Patterson in the way Liston did.
    Ali looked untouchable against Liston.
    Turpin awkward style gave Ray a lot to think.
    Chavez just never understood what Whitaker represented in the ring.
    Juan Manuel Marquez just became better fight after fight against Manny.
    Maidana was a really bad match up for Mayweather because he never knew what Maidana was going to throw so he didn't know how to counter punch him, that shows you how good is Mayweather when it comes to adaptability.
    Pacquiao and Jones really made Barrera look like easy work.
    Jones Jr. feet were too much for Toney to counter.
    Toney, Hopkins and Eubank, all hated movers, Eubank was the only to admit it.
    Sal Sanchez beat the great and nearly perfect fighter in Wilfredo Gomez in every single aspect.
