this is how i see it. when someone says 'he hit me hard' the effect that that person feels is a combination of the punch's accuracy, speed,...
i'd take '74-'75 ali over pretty much anyone. in some ways that version is better head to head than sixties ali. the heart, chin and mental...
i think people have a romanticised view of how good cotto used to be. he hasn't declined that sharply. he was never amazing, and he's still a good...
