Henry 'Mogadon' Maske?
Like watching paint-drying without the drama - even his most ardent teutonic fans did not turn-up to fill a Dortmund sports hall expecting thrills and spills - and he was probably a guy allowed to box on his own terms and in his own peculiar, hybrid pro-am style far too often.
But somehow Maske had a long reign and won some fights of note - and - he had a skill-set that was hard to get round and was just very canny and effective. Protected and deathly dull - without a doubt - but Maske had a certain type of skill that saw him through and negated many fighters.
