Tszyu can't win a decision, but I think he'd snipe Taylor. That short laser-like right hand down the pipe is the perfect medicine for a busy...
For some, like Hopkins, it is an ingredient to their greatness. For others, like Duran, it was mostly neglected. Wether those times he relaxed...
Norton can box with Tunney due to his reach advantage, but Tunney can't hang with Norton up close. Norton in an easier match than most here would...
