Born with it, plain and simple. Technique maximizes what you have. Floyd Mayweather v Earnie Shavers. Who has the better technique? Who was...
I've read Hagler accepted the loss to Monroe was fair but complained about his first loss to Watts. The last few rounds of that fight is on YouTube.
True, in his peak years, KO'd by Brown, but he put it right in the rematch with the type of skills and power that would help him get by McCallum.
Against Jackson, yep sure, but no disgrace there. Mac doesn't have Jackson's power. If he did, I'd be picking him to win.
On behalf of all British fans I apologize for our fans cheering our man on. LOL :patsch
McCallum has a great record, but styles make fights. Norris proved he can box and move for 12 rounds. He also has very good speed and power. It...

Norris is quicker, more mobile, better puncher. Norris boxes to a UD.
I make two observations of this fight: Firstly, the first seven rounds Hagler boxed great. His overly respectful approach after that cost him...
Just out of interest, anyone old enough to remember what the betting odds were on this match? Was Minter a slight favourite? I assume Minter was...

Hagler fought twice in two years - Hearns and Leonard, and if you read (and believe) Sorcery at Caesers, he was extremely reluctant to reverse his...
At middleweight I would say McClellan was a bigger puncher than Jackson, with an edge in skills and speed. McCallum could be hit and I think...
I reckon a more seasoned, and more patient Benn would have taken it on points, but it would have been a tough one.
I always feel very confused when watching a clip like this and then reading comments like this from a boxing 'historian'. I've been watching...
