    I think power is Naz. Possibly hardest 126lb puncher ever (though Danny Lopez may have something to say about that)

    Got to agree with that, Booth is certainly up there. Very often overlooked (though not on these forums, which is good). He's not the greatest puncher, or has the fastest hands, etc, but he's very well rounded and knows how to get the best out of his abilities.

    Benn


    I say Benn for adaptability because it would have been most difficult for him to adapt being the most natural fighter/puncher.

    What a change on his WBC run from the fighter who fought Watson and Barkley. I particularly like his pitch-out of Juan Carlos Giminez when he was a pure counter-puncher! He probably plucked out more jabs in the Henry Wharton fight than in all his previous fights put together...

    My respect to anyone who mentions Tony Sibson, fav when I was growing up along with Minter and yeah he had a nice jab considering he wasn't the tallest fighter.
