    :good. I didn't get the feeling like he ran at all. But these same posters ****ted on Kovalev too after he dominated Chilemba.

    Well I think he was a bit better than that when healthier. Sure he's not necessarily a strategical mastermind but he nearly always improved his fighters offensive capabilities.

    You would have hoped he would have learned a little more from Futch but perhaps he thought he was better off going his own way.

    Roach doesn't prepare guys well for slick, adaptable fighters.

    Nobody has a problem with Roach. We give him hit because he wa with Pac. Pac's fan love him and overrate him. There are trainers and then there are teachers. Futch teacher. Roach trainer.

    Yeah, guys like Futch don't come around very often. It takes someone special to be able to outmanoeuvre a guy like Ali in the ring.

    The funny thing is I'd bet most of the diehard Pac fans on here - despite their furious denials and claims otherwise - would hate Ali if he were around today.

    Futch, the trainer of 4 Ali conquerors, would have been their go to guy when trying to get a good night's sleep.
