Yeah, Ive got ever scrap of footage on Martin known to exist and short of being dangerous in spots if you slept on him he wasnt anything special....
I thought/think it was the right call. My heart was with Taylor and after his display I wanted him to win but he had absorbed a ton of punishment...

Maurice Harris was considered the best sparring partner you could find in the 90s and 00s but his record is ****. I dont think Cleveland was as...
I think you can lump Williams and Merritt in with Cleveland Williams in that these guys have a lot of mystique around them but not much depth in...
