What does everyone think of him? Just got done watching him fight Shavers and was impressed by his heart in the 2nd round. Wins over Shavers and Berbick is impressive, why couldn't he do more in the 80s?
He had a reputation at times of being lazy, but when he boxed higher calibre men he turned up his game unbelievably.. I saw him batter Spinks if i remember rightly.. Then Spinks got handed a title shot shortly after. Unreal..
Massive puncher, but not the greatest stamina. Lost his shot at the title by getting taken out by Leon Spinks in nine, easily the biggest stoppage win of Leon's career. Dangerous big contender though, if not the sturdiest.
