As the title suggests, pick a fighter, add one thing from another boxer's style/personality and turn them into a great fighter.

I'll start us of with....

Carl 'The Truth' Williams + Oliver McCall's chin = A Great Fighter.

He had a great jab, good movement and could let the punches go. He could have got the decision against Holmes. I wonder how he would have done against Tyson if he had a great chin.

Colin McMillan...with azumah nelson power and strength ,a lovely boxer but he had no punch or physical strength.

The obvious one is tommy hearns with haglers chin

Another good one Keith.

I'll pick James Toney with Bernard Hopkins' lifestyle and training habits.

Bit of a cheat really. Tyson was already a great fighter.

Mike Tyson + Floyd Patterson's lifestyle = Even better Tyson.

Klitschko with an iron chin would probably be the most invincible champion of all time considering how well he did with a weak one.

Floyd without the fragile hand problems would also be ridiculous. He'd probably end up killing someone.

. He was already great, you're making a nuclear weapon.

Jerry Quarry without the tendency to cut.

How about Naseem Hamed with the brain/mindset of Salvador Sanchez.

Boxer: Paulie Malignaggi
Added attribute: Tommy Hearns punching power.

Nothing wrong with Paulie's boxing brain, he just never had or would ever have any sort of clout in his punching.

With Hearns' power he could haven been a complete package abducted definitely a certainty to be on the P4P list in his era.

George Foreman 1973 + George Foreman 1994's boxing brain = the greatest!

Hearns with Sugar Ray Leonard's balance.

I always thought it was more his legs turning to jelly more than his chin that let him down.

Add SRL balance you probably get the best fighter of all time

Amir Khan with Shane Mosley's chin

Bradley with Thurman's power

Mcclellan with Whitaker's defense

Broner with Mayweather's dedication

Mayweather with DLH's opponent selection style

You mean DLH with Mayweather's opponent selection style, right?

You can say that. If DLH chose opponents the in the style Mayweather did, he'd probably be undefeated.

I even think DLH choosing Whitaker and Quarley was risky and he didn't need Quarley at all.

Tim Witherspoon with Holyfield training regime

Oscar couldn't go undefeated in Floyd's shoes. Hilarious.

Emanuel Augustus
Added Attribute: Any boxer that had a decent boxing camp: trainer/manager/promoter

Cool thread!

Tony Galento with the young Mike Tyson's defense.

Good shouts.

Especially like the Broner call, as he could be great, but isn't.

I don't see any greatness in Broner. Maybe if he had Floyd's ring iq. He could train like Hagler and still be just an above average fighter.

Paul Ryan with Shea Neary's chin.

Ruslan Provodnikov + much better foot movement = Great

I think i agree, dedication doesn't fix stupid.

Gennady Golovkin + A Name opponent with the balls to step into the ring with him = Great

khan plus froch's chin.
