Each to their own I suppose. Larry was a great champion.
Two fighters who are poles apart stylewise but the one thing thay had in common was that they could make better fighters than themselves look bad....
Hamed's speed,movement and power would ensure he would win on all cards. No way does he stop the durable La Porte.
