Agreed - overrated in terms of achievement, but talent wise, in a one fight shootout, he could stand up there and give a good account of himself...
Especially being a naturally smaller man who has shown hand and shoulder issues - this susceptibility with a SRR schedule, remembering the weight...
Respectfully disagree with the last sentence - there's nothing fraudulent about his skillset, his athleticism and his in-fight adjustments and...
You saw what Ray Leonard did to him - what is a hungry, SRR pre-Doyle going to do with him? He has no chance versus a focused SRR. How well does...
Ruiz is likely a better boxer than most people give him credit for and his Mexican fighting spirit will not see him quit - he's not tall enough,...

Monte Cox has discussed this on his site. I believe, from memory, that Ali's jab was timed as being one third faster than SRR's jab. They...
I agree - if folklore is to be believed, whilst JT and BHop are considerably more skilled IMO, perhaps there is the age old danger of Ketchel's...
This is the biggest shame. With prime SRR I have to take a leap of faith based on an extrapolation of what we can see post-prime, factored in...
