    Frazier just isn't built for stick and move and his style only works for fighters his size or smaller

    Sure, stick and move, frustrate and intimidate doesn’t complement Joe’s physical equipment.

    However, this a hypothetical, the purpose being to move down the line of quality to an opponent over whom Joe’s execution of this style would prevail. It is very hard to envisage Joe boxing in this fashion (some snap shots of same available from Foreman II perhaps?).

    Anyway, if it makes it any easier, we can pretend Joe was hypnotised beforehand, being put on to same by his positive thinking buddy, Ken Norton.

    Leon Spinks did come to mind first off but I wasn’t 100% sure. Then djanders nominated Neon Leon and that’s good enough for me. Power in numbers.

    I noticed he would now and again throw an upjab instead of a hook to mix it up, and he never fully extended his elbow, I never knew the reason, I always thought that was his technique, I suppose it's literally no use at all to him learning that

    should never appear in the same paragraph.

    I'm surprised your keyboard allowed you to make that post.

    That might explain the sparks and smoke coming from the laptop...

    Surely Grammarly could deal with this.

    Is there a version specific to boxing and its rational expression in writing? At the very least, it could highlight the text in question and ask if your employment of an oxymoron was intentional.

    Yes, I'm sure any number of good checker apps would have caught that.

    And if the greats of yesteryear can access these pages from the afterlife, I'm sure that a certain former world HW champion (maybe more than one) are looking perplexed at CT's post.

    If they pay attention to me at all, they're probably used to it by now.
