Most outstanding element of a fighter's game (good or bad)
I'll keep this as quick as I can - what was the single biggest attribute you've ever seen in a fighter that stood out (for better or worse) when viewed against the rest of their skillset?
eg. Paulie Malinaggi (world class fighter with very low power at that level) or George Chavalo (US title level heavyweight with an all-time great chin).
Thanks. CAS

Tyrone Crawley superb boxing skills but punches worthy of his nickname 'Butterfly'.

Hoped to stumble across a few fighters I didn't know much about with this, so thanks.
Ian Napa is a good shout along a similar thread as well - fantastic boxer in every sense, but zero power.

Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs.
Great KO power (mainly against tomato cans) but a distinct lack of defence.

Shavers power stands out massively from the rest of his very average attributes, same with Oliver McCall and his chin forged in hell.

Howard Eastman
Great technical ability and boxing brain but was too economical for his own good
Needed a bit of needle.

Forget Herol Graham, Eastman is the british middleweight who should have been a world champion, showed in the last round against Joppy that he could have won that fight with ease if only he showed more urgency.

Tua's chin would be right up there with his left hook too.

Then you have his defence, timing and speed.

Re: Most outstanding element of a fighter's game (good or bad)
Julian Jackson's power, for me. Take that away and he's nothing more than a middling operator, but with it he smashed his way to a couple of world titles. Jackson never seemed to have signature performances, so to speak, just signature moments where he'd turn a likely defeat in to victory with a single shot (Graham, Jackson etc).
His performance first time out against McClellan was pretty good all-round before he was overpowered but, without wishing to denigrate him, without his punch power I doubt he'd ever get a mention these days.
