    What's so unique about the Charlo brothers(besides them being twins)?
    They are definitely world class athletes but quite limited as boxers(in terms of world class).

    How many fighters do you know who can land pull counters and then duck the incoming fire?:deal: I like you Tinman but you couldn't be more wrong here. PBF had some of the best reflexes of this era besides RJJ.

    Even with Berto, he looked quite the athlete. Did pretty much whatever he wanted to. And he was 38 at that point.

    At the lower weights Floyd was a freaking monster at times.

    Nothing he did was really that unique. Hes a great, polished fighter with very good athleticism.

    Hamed had better reflexes, just no skill.

    He didnt have great power, great speed, great workrate. He didnt utilize an unorthodox style. He was a classic boxer who used defense and distance. A textbook guy.

    James Toney is an ATG too. But not really a unique fighter. Just textbook guy. Same with a guy like Mikey Garcia though hes not an ATG yet. But hes a great talent, just not unique at all. Just uses solid technique.

    A unique fighter would be like Mike Tyson dominating the HW division at 5'11". Or Marvin Hagler being virtually an indestructible tank that could walk through anything. Or Aaron Pryor who could launch 100s of power shots for 15 rounds.

    Inoue... Having that much power in such a small frame.

    Usyk... having speed/accuracy > power in a higher weight class and yet keeping an amazing gas tank.

    Didnt have great speed? The only fighter he fought with faster hands was zab. He was always top 3 in handspeed when he was in his prime. What are you talking about? Just because he didnt throw 4 and 5 punch combos didn't mean he didnt have great handspeed.
    Like i said earlier name a fighter today that can pull counter and duck the counter? None can. Also pbf landing 3 straight right hands on ndou was one of the most amazing things ive ever seen in boxing. The level of difficulty to do that is off the charts.

    He was very unique. How many fighters can fight at all ranges with atg defense and a atg ring iq and atg stamina?
