Whats fun is a couple of those points were actually good :lol:. Ruiz taught me that spoiler tactics were something a fighter HAD to be taught...
Exactly. Angelo needed a guy to hold the mitts, the bag, all that. The finesse wasn't his area. He painted in broad strokes. And that included...
I'd go Vitali. Too big, too long, too good. He'd be lighting Liston up with right hands over the top all night. Awful styles clash for Sonny.
Having been around Angelo in the gym, he knew ALOT. He just wasn't a pure trainer. He needed a ton of facilitators. He had a great mind and a...
I think Mattysshe stops him by just being plain better, but I wouldn't say he does it early: Gatti was very tough, was a bit bigger than Lucas,...
Of course he was. These folks weren't just ordinary, greedy gangsters. They were extremists, almost rabid with anger. Murderers. Crossing them...
This. He was also very solid in the corner. I saw it first hand with George. Angelo Dundee got Big George through the Holyfield fight. I was...
I fought a few days off of a horrid bout with the flu once. I had nothing at all. Felt like a zombie. I can't even imagine how Ali felt that...
Ali beats Frazier. He fought him better in the second fight...Joe's decline had very little to do with it. Ali restrained him like an octopus,...
Oh, no question. I'm not convinced Jack makes the distance either time if they were set for 12.
I hate the quit line...What the **** was he supposed to do? He'd lost almost every round, been dropped three times, and was getting ****ed up....
Undoubtedly, but its obvious Ward would have beat him up there, too. Dawson is not smart or fluid enough.
Ward is boxing an amazing masterclass. Dawson is weight drained. They are not mutually exclusive, and are both clearly fact. A fresh Dawson...
I said from day one that Dawson was an arrogant fool taking this fight. No way a light heavyweight that long cuts 7 pounds healthily. Ward...
Dawson didn't look like he had legs from Round 2. He needs to keep the right hand up. His lower half can't take flush hooks like that.
