Kept many of yours went with a few of my own.


CHIN: Ali

STAMINA: Marciano

FOOTWORK: Walcott; Clay (not Ali)

BODY ATTACK: Ftizsimmons

SPEED: Paterson

DEFENSE: Clay (not Ali)

COUNTER: Louis; Clay

HAIL MARY: Dempsey; Fitzsimmons*

LEFHOOK: Tyson; Dempsey

LEF JAB: Clay; Braddock

RIGHT CROSS: Marciano; Louis

OVERHAND RIGHT: No opinion. Don't think the punch a common HW punch; Carlos Monzon LOL (Now that's a great overhand right.)

RIGHT JAB: How many South Paws ever made it to the top (of the lineal list)?

RIGHTHOOK: Same answer. (I guess it has to be Moorer)

LEFCROSS: Same answer.

OVERHANDLEF: Can't remember ever seeing one thrown.

STAREDOWN: Liston

UPPERCUT: Johnson

KILLER INSTINCT: Dempsey

CLINCH: Willard**; Ali (not Clay)

GENERALSHIP: Fury; Ali (not Clay)

FOXCHEAT: I don't know what this is.

COMBINATION: Dempsey; Clay (maybe Ali too); Frazier

Taunt & Flaunt: Clay & Ali; Fury

Only one mention of Louis; no opportunity to mention Schmeling; could have put a dozen names under clinch.

*Does Fitz's body shot, (the Fitzsimmons shift) count as a 'hail mary'? It bailed him out a few times.

** I don't see Willard as a great clincher in the common definition, as a defense tactic, but instead as an offensive weapon. Willard would grab and lean on his smaller opponents often holding them in place forcing them to carry his weight around the ring, e.g. Willard-Johnson.

I'm assuming when you say "Marciano" you mean "Dempsey"?

Really this list reads like "Who imitates Dempsey best?".

Except for the jab of course. We can forgive him for that, though.

Lewis and Wilder is inexcusable.


And while Jacks head-movememt was very good, Defense goes to Tunney, Fury and Byrd.
