    Ali in that Dunn fight--or was it Lubbers--where he did that windmilling with his right hand when the bout was about over.

    Eubank was a master at it & I always wanted to see if the american fighters would've been willing to be a road warrior and fight the guy. and not let the cheering or those antics have an affect on them and see if they could win nevertheless. Collins handled it perfectly but I'm not sure others can and do and still Keep their A game.


    Early Camacho was something. The one that fought at 130 especially. That was also one big factor I'd always wanted to see Leonard handle. And he sure didn't seem to handle those Camacho antics before the bout & sure didn't seem to get in his comfy grove about 10 seconds into a fight like he normally did. He just never seemed comfortable and it became a case of the shoe being on the other foot, since Leonard liked intimidating and playing to the crowd himself.

    Being old and farked and not having fought for 6 years wouldn't have had anything to do with it either.
