:goodYeah, and when I say a killer, I mean a hit man type who made his living killing in a cold, impersonal sort of way...not a common thug killing for the stupid joy of it. I regret this too about how he ended up.
Red, I'll definitely buy this...Good breakdown. Monzon was detached, but his immense pride was very evident. Definitely nasty...Robinson was a mean guy too, but he was fiery...Monzon was calculating, and fought totally to his strengths.
Well Masao Ohba is one who probably won't get mentioned. Similar to Sanchez, Buchanan and Monzon in that he was brilliant at accelerating as the fight went on.However, he lacked the chin those men had, having to overcome being badly hurt early several times.It never seemed to bother him though.
I'll have to have a look after that recommendation...you are a much more well-rounded observer than I am...Cheers.
Ali, as much as I don't like him, was tough as hell mentally. He never quit, despite taking some poundings.
A severely lacerated Gene Tunney, fighting to the bone against what he described as a "red filmed phantom" was an instance of a fighter going far beyond the call of duty.
