Why we overrate slick boxers when the ATG list are

That is subjective.

 

huh

 

I can't speak for every slick fighter, but those two are very complete fighters.

 

Well to me slick boxers mean they can slip punches and counter better all have great reflexes.

 

James Toney was slick he uses the shoulder roll like floyd. Roy Jones move his upper body similar to Sweet Pea. Duran was one of the best at slipping punches just like SweetPea and Floyd.

 

And Ali was very slick for a heavyweight

 

Pacquiao is slick but he is a boxer puncher like toney. So he has more in common with James, JCC, Arguello, Pryor, McCallum than Floyd. Again for reference, Floyd, Pea, Pep, to some extent Ali..they are similar.

 

I also want to say Floyd and Whitaker have extremely good offenses. They just don't hit hard enough to put the puncher in boxer-puncher.

 

Fair enough and Im not saying theyre not great, they are elite but these styles are not as dominant. You look at a guy like Benny Leonard, this is like Pac. He dominated with speed and power.

 

So basically guys that have good defense but can't punch hard?

 

How about Hector Camacho?

 

Being a rarer breed would up their demand. Law of supply and demand.

 

yes it seems to go hand in hand... then there are guys like Sanchez, Gomez..some guys like Marciano. There are more brawlers in the ATG list than the likes of Pea. Case in point the GOAT. Some of his fights he looks beat up but he still is the greatest. Whats his style? Aggressor in your face winging punches from all directions

 

Hes another one and I love the guy, fastest ive seen but hes not even in discussion of atgs. He is a bordeline guy ala Julian Jackson

 

I understand Im just tired of fighter a slick d would clown a boxer puncher. When some of the greatest fighter who ever live SRR for example is the latter style
