    Michalczewski was a beast, great fighter. It's absurd he hasn't got into the hall of fame

    Good boxer but little power.

    But would sometimes win by shock KO when you least expect it, like with the Fabrice Tiozzo rematch for the cruiserweight title and vs James Kinchen.

    He had great legs/ movement, left jab, his power was more in his left side, jab and hooks, kind of a weak right hand, good chin, stamina, and focus. Had two light heavyweight title reigns, i believe 10 defenses each. He beat alot of good boxers, but Hearns ended his first reign, then after beating the excellent yet boring Henry Mask in Germany, he then got thoroughly beaten by the Tiger Michalczewski. Later went on to cruiserweight to win titles.

    Yeah, I remember Kinchen! Even Hearns couldn't do that.

    And strangely enough, Fabrice Tiozzo retired Michalczewski, or shall i say stopped him in his final bout at 175 lbs.
