    The ones that can just stand there and dodge incoming blows like it’s nothing.

    I am not going to pretend I noticed this first but @greynotsoold made me realize Archie Moore is king here he never had great legs even as a young man.

    My word, the guy in the red trunks doesn't learn as the fight goes on, does he? Round after round of telegraphed haymakers. What was his corner doing? Did nobody think to get him to jab his way in and wait for openings?

    Even so, he's very slick. Mysterious Billy Smith would have prioritised stepping on those toes very early on.

    And 'demolish'.

    But he didn't know the word 'knew'.

    Will the horde of white-trunks men attacking Moore never end?!
