    I don't mean "pound for pound" boxer, I mean who is the best "PLODDING 4ORWARD PONDEROUSLY" (P4P) boxer right now?

    Many contenders, but there can only be one....

    Off the top of my head;

    Canelo - a great boxer yes, but now he has become a ponderous plodder.
    Ngannou- will probably be a contender for No.1 P4P for sure
    Spence - against Crawford, he was plodding forward ponderously a lot.
    Kambosos - a hippety hoppity fast hands type of ponderous forward plodder (could be a new category stay tuned)
    Haney - Against Loma, there were periods where all he did was plod forward ponderously, right into Loma's punches.
    Benevidez - Probably a fringe plod contender at this stage.

    Canelo.

    I mean, unless you ask BoxingFan. He would have you believe that Canelo has 8 different dimensions to his game.

    Joe Joyce is so ponderous he sometimes forgets to plod by the time he's done pondering

    Ruiz-Chisora would be a good plod-off

    In 2000, we thought Tua was one dimensional.

    Joyce makes Tua look like Duran.

    As much as I criticize Trinidad for being a one dimensional plodder( see Trinidad vs Hopkins,DLH) they make for exciting fights. Win or lose they won't run ala Twinkle Toes/slick southpaws or whatever. From a boxing fan point of view I love them. But if you get a guy like Pernell who wins a round without throwing a single punch it's the cure for insomnia.

    90% what he types is made up nonsense.

    Oh come on. I was being facetious. Everyone knows the Willie Pep no punches thrown thing is a myth. Just a rumor Max Kellerman started. He always had a hard on for slick southpaws.

    The story is much older than Kellerman.

    Theoretically it would be possible to win a round under the official rules, but so far it has never happened

    Almost positive that Bert Sugar is the one who created and perpetuated the "Pep won a round without throwing a punch" myth. Sugar repeated the myth so many times that many started believing it actually happened.

    Fury is morphing into a blob-like ponderous arm-punching plodder.

    But he isn't. He's exactly as good or as bad as he lets himself be. Right now he's bad. Next time he might be bad. Or very good.
