    Wilder's style is the most unique of these. And I'm not kidding. I can't remember any other successful boxer who boxed like Deontey.

    Toney...and it ain’t even close.
    What makes Toney so incredible is that he did what he did with terrible training habits. If all of the guys you listed refused to do roadwork, smoked cigars, ate whatever in the hell they wanted when they wanted they wouldn’t be special. Like James said, “Other men learn to fight...I was born knowing.”
    Imagine Floyd fighting at 168/175 or Hopkins at heavyweight giving up height and reach with jelly roll stomachs...and still making world class opponents looks ridiculous :eek:

    Wilder isn`t brilliant or special but is rangy, effective and unreplicable.

    Holy wasn`t world class anymore when he fought Toney and Floyd did amazingly winning the light middle title since he started at super-feather, 168/175?! if he could have gone up that far at 5'8 he would have been 7-8 weight class world champ!

    AJ doesn`t have the skills of these other guys, could you imagine a heavyweight with Mayweather`s skill?!

    Ali was much more gifted, it`s just that Wilder uses his reach really well.

    No way, he was far more easy to hit than Floyd.

    Twenty years is a long time. Starts in 98, a lot of real talented fighters in that time frame but only one name stands out above the rest. FLOYD MAYWEATHER.
