    Yeah it's not the most exciting footage in terms of performances. But the quality is amazing, and you can see his technique and form really well.

    Amazing footage. You can really see just how scientific of a boxer he was.

    Look at this balance. He never has too much weight on either foot. What is this sorcery.

    Picture perfect. Small, quick, perfect movements of the feet.

    Fouled the sh*t out of him, tho.

    Those pages always got great old footage from old fighters, but sometimes is with names that wouldn't appear on the searcher.

    Tall fighters usually don't throw pretty body punches.
    But i agree, still he was capable of doing imperfect things, perfect.
