    Been reading Atlas The biography and he mentions Chris Reid as having the potential to be world champ how good was he?

    From what I remember watching him about three or so times was that he was a swarmer fighting out of a crouch and packed a wallop in that overhand right.

    If he'd been better schooled, he coulda been pretty good. But he got sloppy in the exchanges at times... overpunching, leaving himself open after missing, etc...
