Intriguing post, McVey :good I don't think there's any one fighter who'd consistently beat all of his contemporaries, let alone the greats in...
You are very correct. What I should have said was speed & strength. Power needs speed to be power, or else it's just strength. And you're right in...
Jabbing, crossing, slipping, countering at range - 9/10 Duran often outjabbed his opponents. Only the best lightweight jabbers may have held an...
