    Abraham maybe, well lacked work ethic in the ring later in his career but was still pretty successful.

    Well guys who lack stamina is usually an indication that they don't work too hard.

    Willie spent more time in gin mills and the track. His only roadwork was chasing tail.

    He was a born standup comic. The only reason he came to the gym was to break-up the other fighters.

    What he was able to do in the ring was purely God given, from the first day he put on gloves, which looked bigger than he was.

    Thanks for that insight JG. I guess the bit i read about him abstaining from sex before fights is a bit of a cover up then. Amazing fighter.
