John Conteh, makes you feel like you’ve known him for years..tons of charisma. Shea Neary. Very quiet, shy man. Earnie Shavers, very respectful,...
Calzaghe vs Lacey. Keep in mind that Lacey was fancied by many to win this one or at least make it close. Calzaghe dominated every minute and...
I see your point, though I’ve seen it in other sports too, specifically football/soccer. In England, Paul “Gazza” Gascoigne was a prime example of...

If Morrison did win, I think it’d be much akin to how Bruno won too. Score enough early on and hold on for dear life.
