    I've seen both men fight, and I still think Hamed is more unorthodox. Some of the angles that he threw punches from were just ridiculous, and by all rights shouldn't even have been possible.

    easy Hamed,

    Swithed soutpaw orthodox continuosly, leaping uppercuts Left leads from the back foot.....**** he was brilliant. (the most gifted British fighter in History and probably the most underachieving despite 6 years as UD champ), should have been a legend.

    Ashame he went toSUarez and Steward where he became more conventional.

    Just on current guys, Augustus or Soliman. Darchinyan is extremely unorthodox as well. I'll throw Caballero in there too.

    Must say that I am amazed that no one has mentioned Pernell Whitaker, sure he had some seriously good fundamentals, but his movement and evasive skills were extremely unorthodox!

    A bit like Hamed with 10 times less mistakes.

    I think you guys are going overboard with Augustus. I love the guy as he is a real entertainer, only thing is that is mostly when he dances and kids around (yes I know this in itself is very different), when he is actually boxing though he is rather conventional
