    Boxers who are so unorthodox that they have a poster in every gym that says “Don’t copy this boxer”

    I'd like to see a fight between Smith and Bill Squires... how hilarious would that be?

    If we're talking about world champs, they don't come much cruder than Freddie Mills.

    This is correct, but I think think the spirit of the thread is to look at contenders and champions.

    Are we measuring technique by what's normal at the time, or 2022 standards? That makes a big difference to where lots of old guys are ranked.

    Tommy “Hurricane” Jackson of ‘double uppercut’ fame (he’d uppercut with both hands at the same time) deserves mention.

    Roy Jones Jr. That being said he was a GOAT before his reflexes betrayed him.

    And unlike an RJJ he doesn't have a lot of natural tools besides his size

    Roy Jones was very, very fundamentally sound.
