It wouldn't matter if he could bench press 1000 with a 100 inch vertical and a 3 second 40 yard dash. Unless he could take a punch and had the...
People confuse a fighter using their intangibles to make themselves effective with having actual skill/ring IQ. George Chuvalo wasn't a...
You want to focus on the zanons, Ledouxs, and cobbs while ignoring the Witherspoons, Nortons, Cooneys, Shavers, Williams, etc. Prime Ledoux...
