    Would it be too harsh to call Frazier a one-trick pony? Yes, probably is.

    How about Hopkins over the last several years? - lead right, grab, lead right, grab.

    Wlad is more succesfull than Hopkins with his jab grab.
    Partly because he's younger, partly because the division is weaker.

    Also Hopkins is a 100 trick pony not 1

    For his abilities Ruiz was hugely successful.

    Rocky only ever fought in 1 gear and none of his era could keep him off.

    Totally forgot about Ruiz.

    Yea, he was extremely successful for what he had to bring

    Frazier's the first guy that came to mind for me, RT. He was a left-hooking machine.
