Which non-great fighter has the style to trouble a great fighter?

Bubi Scholz would give plenty of mws problems. Lhws too, at least he gave Harold Johnson quite some problems despite beeing quite a bit past prime.

 

I was going to say Ricardo Mayorga, but taking 10 seconds more to think about it, most great WW's would knock him the **** out whilst he's pulling his stunts.

Acelino Freitas i think is capable of putting anyone of any calibre to sleep if they pressure him too hard. This though would only be trouble for one dimensional fighters, perhaps, which is rare amongst greats.

Both Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank, i consider great, but know most of you dont. These two are potentially very tough and certainly dangerous fights for any MW in history.

Off the top of my head, i can't think of a great specifically, but Sharmba Mitchell has a skill level to outpoint a figher of that calibre whom lacks finishing power. And Vince Phillips has the fight in him to outfight and upset someone of that calibre, who may lack elite level stamina or have a solid chin.

Sinan Samil Sam has an awkward shape and style, that could prove to be a bad matchup for some of the smaller HW's in history

 

Sumbu Kalambay could upset quite a few.

 

vilomar fernandez
Even in the rematch you could still see flashes of a style trubbling
alexis arguello

 

Aye. Kalule too.

 

"Fat" (but he wasn't really fat by todays standards) Willie Meham did give Jack Dempsey trouble.

 

The first names that popped into my head were Denny Moyer and Murray Sutherland. Just check their records.

 

Castillo, Ford, and Cowdell certainly gave Sanchez trouble.

 

If Denny Moyer would be in talks of being an atg if he was around today.

 

Denny would probably be the top dog at 154 if he were in his prime right now.

 

Cornelius Boza Edwards is a pretty nifty fighter who could beat a few top guys IMO.

 

I think Chris Byrd at his best might be able to trouble and possibly spoil a win out of Foreman.

 

That's an interesting thought. Big George did not like speedy little guys. He even claims he intentionally avoided Quarry.

 

I don't consider Michael Nunn great, persay, but he'd be a handful for anybody.
