    Nice one, what about the fight in your avatar? (is it Monzon-Griffith by the way?)

    Really? My mistake. Once you get told you're wrong about something it starts to seem more and more obvious. Like now, Napoles' shoulders look less broad to me in that shot, i thought they looked really wide apart before like Griffith's. Haha.

    Griff had that huge upper body on that skinny waist of his..he really had an impressive build and looked huge as a welterweight and was only 5'-7" so he was a relatively short guy put he looked so damned strong..even compared to a guy like Dick Tiger. He had small fists and wrists, long arms and skinny legs but a huge set of shoulders. Really a strong guy to be such a light puncher.

    Why Whatarock? Harada was a fast man, he was a dynamo, with his fists at least, and Rose beat him. Doesn't fit the bill?

    Think i've gotta disagree with that one mate. Harada was fast but I think Rose outdone him in that one, the handspeed department.

    On the lines of a "slower fighter neating a faster fighter" and not necessarily a "slow fighter", and using Laguna again as an example, then both Buchanan-Laguna fights.
    Also O'Grady-Kenty and Watt-Davis Jr.
