Deficiencies, Fallacies & Half-truths in world class fighters...

Why do most "slick" fighters always seen to have some sort of focus issue? It's so frustrating. James Toney, Zab Judah, Chad Dawson the list goes on...

Do you remember that infamous defensive signature move that Pernell use to do? Well that was dubbed "sitting on the toilet" in my household lol. The only fighter who comes close to "sitting on the toilet" is Joan Guzman even though its kind of a bootleg version with the writing across the screen. lol And it's suffice to say he has his "focus issues" too.

I was trying to post a pic of Pea demonstrating "sitting on the toilet" but i don't know how to. Was it copy the URL in properties then paste it to the little box that says "insert image"?

 

Got it! posted it above. :good

 

Problem with Winky was his style, he mastered that peek-a-boo defence and guard but as we've seen with fighters like Clottey it lends itself to a disposition of not getting off or struggling against certain styles if you can't establish your jab and counter effectively.

Winky did as much as his style allowed him too IMO. He always beats the Mosley's and Trinidad's who can't fight east and west, but people like Williams would always give him hell and rain it on his guard.

Where Winky had a deficiency was in his overbearing sense of self worth, lack of business mind, poor decision making highlighted by him turning down the Taylor rematch, his Krispy Kream diet inbetween bouts, inactivity, pricing himself out of fights and chasing the De La Hoya rainbow. With his style he needed certain things to fall into place for him and didn't exactly help himself really.

 

Oh, would defo. rather face Tyson lol don't forget Grievesy Pernell did have a bit of killer in him as well. lol what separates him and pretenders like Judah and Dawson. Speaking of Tyson does it ever annoy you when you hear "he never knew how to face adversity" atsch

Did people ever watch the Razor Ruddock first fight and parts of their second showdown. Razor hit him with a baseball bat for 10 rounds and Iron Mike kept walking him down.

Buster also hit Mike with power shots through the whole fight. Mike was so convinced that he could not lose, I think he didn't even realize he was hurt. The Razor fights as i said, the second one being one of the most violent bruising fights I ever saw. His will did come into question after he was incarcerated somewhat. Started with Evander and the story ends from there. He knew he wasn't prepared on that run IMO.
