    Much of Michael's most fluid work came at HW where the targets are slower but for me only Archie Moore competes with him for a 3-piece at the weight and he could land these punches going backwards or going forwards at speed. Very good spread, too, deadly uppercuts, good long punches, ease in doubling-up.

    Hi Guys.
    No problem with any of the above, might I add a pre Taylor, John Conteh, had the pleasure of seeing him spar weeks before the Aumada fight, up close and in the flesh, he was very special, cool calm and collected at one stage, then when stung by the sparring partner, turned into a vicious, snarling, ever so hurtful boxer , the combos coming quick and fast, too fast to see sometimes, so yes, think he is worth a mention.
    stay safe guys.
