    That’s similar to what Mike Mccallum said about Donald Curry ...” He sees everything you do...every mistake “

    The invention of the Starling Stomp is enough to get him on America's Got Talent.

    He mentioned Honeyghan in the article above all these catergeries, he said Honeyghan was his easiest fight.

    Good observation but it only took Curry so far instead of spotting mistakes you should create them with feints.

    This is one of the best of these that I've seen. It comes across as very honest.

    Seriously, we have to make a sticky thread with your takes on fights. I mean, either you're a master troller or... I can't really decide.

    With that said, thanks for posting what Starling said. Good read.

    My good man, allow me to share with you some highlights from Herol Graham's:

    Best jab: Nobody bothered me with the jab. [He literally didn't pick anyone for this category.]
    Best defense: Maybe Kalambay, but there wasn't anyone who really excelled defensively.
    Fastest hands: For the most part my hand speed was superior, so it's hard to think of someone who troubled me.
    Best footwork: Nobody, come on now, don't mess about! [Didn't pick anybody for this one either.]

    This was one of the more plausible ones I've seen. I need to go back and revisit some of his fights soon.
