Who are the most technically limited fighters to win a world championship belt?

Some of the choices are ridiculous and show lack of insight. Applying pressure, cutting down the ring, timing opponents, adjust!ng/breaking rhythm and style, neutralizing punches, head&upperbody movement, footwork, tying up, feinting, sense of distance etc are part of the game. Hatton, especially around/before Tszyu showed a lot of quality stuff, Froch's arsenal is universally underrated, Pavlik has some impressive boxing skills, Valuev is well schooled, Margarito has a lot of ring smarts etc. I wouldn't call either of them the most technically limited fighter to pick up a belt, what the hell?

 

Actually, I'd have to disagree. Technically, Valuev had/has pretty good form with a pretty good jab. He just had zero talent and zero power. He was a big guy that learned his trade pretty well but had no real ability.

 

Of recent fighters:

Cristobal Cruz (Wins by throwing a thousand punches with horrible form, but fun as hell to watch)
Juan Urango (All he does is stalk, wins almost on power alone)

Maussa was also a good shout out

 

Great Choice! Add Ponce De Leon to the list as well, His technique is awful.:good

 

**** that!



If you think you can do any better, then why don't you take your ass down to the Double-Jab Gym in Youngstown, OH. I'm sure Jack Leow has room, as Pav is on some type of vacation or something right now...



****! Only a real technician can double the jab like that!



YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAW!

 

Then what about Maravilla? :hey

 

Max Baer

 

Darchinyan

 

Margarito
mayorga
froch
baldomir
gatti
johnson
lacy
david diaz

all these won titles purely by virtue of their ability to take punishment

 

I was wondering the same thing. All bad picks except Maussa

 

Carlos Maussa was pretty bad.

 

Gavin Rees is the worst would champion ive ever seen.

 

Not sure technically limited is the word for him.....
