    Good example.

    Rishtikiati vs Mulnaran is a worthy example that most people overlook.

    True but i think UGBK's example is a bit close to the theme of this thread.

    Mulnaran was well beyond his best days when than fight took place. (although i agree the styles wouldn't have suited him even his younger days)

    People seem to be missing the point of this thread :lol:

    Calzaghe-Lacy was not a styles mismatch, it was just a mismatch full stop

    As Calzaghe said to his father between rounds:

    "This guy is shit"

    Foot-speed, reflexes, upper-body movement, general defense (incorporating foot movement, head movement and blocking), ring generalship, stamina, adaptability, punch repertoire, body punching (best jab to the body ever), counter punching....

    How was it not a style mis-match? Munroe couldn't deal with his style.

    Wait are you saying he is better than Pacquiao at all the above? Or he is the ALL TIME BEST fighter EVER at all those?


    I want to see how far your nuthuggery of Mayweather goes...I would and most here would agree on a few of those...

    I hug no man's nuts...

    But credit where credit is due, Mayweather has ATG talent in all of the areas mentioned. Not saying he's necessarily the best of all time in any given category but he's up here with the very best in those categories mentioned...and probably the best with those categories in combination.

    Exactly. Most the examples in this thread have been horrible.

    Vitali Peter? Lewis-Tua? Floyd Gatti?

    You must admit though that Holmstrom vs Xing and Rishtikiati vs Mulnaran are perfect examples of this

    I have to admit, that made me like Joe a bit more, definitely one of the funniest things I've heard a fighter say between rounds.
