apart from being 'an unbranded range animal' if you look up maverick in the dictionary you will see 'Someone who refuses to play by the rules. he/she isn't scared to cross the line of conformity. but their unorthodox tactics get results!'
as far as boxers go i would consider the following to be 'mavericks'
Naseem Hamed
Chris Eubank
as far as other sportsmen go......other mavericks would be
Gazza
Nastase
McEnroe
any thoughts on this one anyone?

Peterson when he batted left handed against the kiwis and refused to play for Hampshire because he was living too far away in chelsea - he didn't have a team for a year - no cricketer has done that and played for his country.hurlock wrote:peiterson???

Re: maverick
Zinedine Zidane in football, an absolute maestro, yet a bit of a wild one at heart.
Muhammad Ali definitely fits the mould.
