Yeah, Laporte was a fighter of bizarre lethargy. Granite chin, good skills, dangerous puncher, strong...but he just wouldn't let his hands go...
C'mon guys. Marquez longevity and ability to still be a world-level fighter at a late age was impressive at a time when modern recovery...
High technique, smart ring-technicians like Rudkin, Davila, Kalule that didn't have too many very good/great natural attributes to easily fall...

Yeah, one of the best choices as far as it being a weight that the fighter should have been good at. Back then it seemed set in stone that Toney...
That was when things in his personal life were falling apart...descending into drug abuse and spent time in jail for hitting his mother. The...
i don't give a **** about ethnic nationalism, but this is just getting pedantic when it's obvious the thread is about fighters that were born and...
