    I love that they're randomly staring so that one has to crane his neck up and the other has to bow his head down for them to look each other in the eye while shouting up & down at each other.

    Whoever made the "no chairs" call, ****ing brilliant. :lol:

    Two totally differnet styles. First though, Cus had Patterson fightint that was in 1955, when frazier was little boy, so he did not copy it from Frazier.

    Second, frazier laid head near opponent's chest a lot, OPPOSITE of Cus's way of teaching fighters, he had them always keep head away from opponent's middle, wanted them on one side or another. More slipping was done, more weaving, but not in sam eup and down range of a Frazier, it was like he had them weave in "U' type wave, like making letter U with head.
