    In any era that brought something new or unseen before they came on the scene? Example:

    Ali- A heavyweight with incredible handspeed, footspeed, reflexes and chin. No one had seen anything in the heavyweight division like him.

    What other fighters brought something unique with them to the ring?

    Tyson was something very unique. A big, well schooled fighter with excellent speed and reflexes. Was able to learn and execute perfectly everything taught to him by Cus D'Amato. One of the most intimidating fighters ever along the lines of Liston and Foreman.

    :rofl ****ing clown. Everybody knows Mike had/has mental issues and his head was not in the fight game and he said himself he was getting tired of being Mike Tyson. All his shananigans were to sell ppv and he was just acting out. Though I think he knew Lewis had the style to give him the hardest fight.

    Ali - Speed and Charisma (esp. for a Heavyweight), Duran - Intensity and Toughness, Joe Louis - A new set of skills and prowess, Lennox Lewis - Great strategies and fight planning. Ray Robinson - Overall Greatness.
