    Olivares was definitely discipline. He didn’t do a whole bunch wrong on the technical side he just partied too damn much.

    For Moore, I'd say that he struggled with very fast boxers. Doesn't mean that he couldn't beat them, but especially as he got older he had to take time to figure out them.

    Armstrong just wore himself out.
    Charles was not a good finisher.
    Pep didn't hit hard enough.
    Holyfield took too many shots.
    Olivares ?
