Just got caught perfectly. Rocky never had the best of chins, even though he stood up to a lot of great hitters. Rocky could get hurt, but he had...
To me they are close, but they aren't Pernell Whitaker skillful. I think Whitaker is more versatile with his skills than both, though Duran in...
Ha ha. Another Larry quote during Pea-McGirt: "Very often, boxers are thought not to be tough people; Pernell Whitaker is tough people." LOL,...

I don't think so Sal. To take an analogy, it's like saying Norris developed a weak chin when he fought Jackson - no, Norris ALWAYS had a weak...
As I said in the general forum: Hector Camacho lacked the mettle to be a great fighter. It wasn't the drugs that stopped him being great,...
