    Frankie Gavin does that swaying side to side.. just to entice the slugger opponents etc.. sluggers can move but only lateral.. not lineal..

    He does it to get the Mike Tyson out of them..

    T. Stevenson beat Biggs just before the Olympics where many countries boycotted.. ok sure Stevenson had started to get old and slipped up at the world championships where Biggs won.. but he wasn't world number one.. and certainly wasn't a Riddick Bowe type..

    He was the #2 SHW to Teo Stevenson.. and I even thought a young Lennox Lewis was robbed.. he was the reigning inaugural SHW junior champ.. so maybe it came too early for him.. I thought Lennox Lewis had the better 2 handed attack in 1984 Olympics..

    When Tyson stepped up and faced legit opponents of his time, he lost---Lewis, Holyfield. Floyd made it look easy against Pacquiao, JMM, Hatton, Cotto.

    depends on the punches the slugger uses the most, if he uses hooks more, then he will move laterally to get the leverage off the leg under the hook, if he uses straight punches more, he will move forward to get the leverage off of the back foot.

    Taking "illegal IV" and whatever else you were talking about is not proof he did PEDs.. Having an illegal gun is not proof you shot the guy down the street.. Having illegal drugs in your home doesn't make you a drug addict.. I see you conveniently left out the fact that the "real fighter" Mike Tyson did cocain before fights.. Cocain is a PED...

    Mike Tyson is the better boxer but Floyd Mayweather would defeat him.

    Then Joe Calzaghe should be wiped from the history books along with Duran, Hearns,Marciano, ODLH, and many more coke addicts in boxing.

    I agree.. You think A guy taking stuff to build stamina is bad, try fighting a coke head.. You think xylocaine is bad because it numbs where you shoot it, coke numbs everything...
