    A gracious thanks to the all action super star. A lesser known fact he was Wilfredo Gomez’s childhood hero.

    That’s interesting…because they are stylistically different….that’s just like how Floyd Mayweather idolized Aaron Pryor

    Roy Jones Jr also idolized Salvador Sanchez. Not unusal for fighters to fight differently to the ones they look up to.

    Corbett was compared to the original Jack Dempsey at times and the Mauler was Jim”s inverse in style. I am a Gerry Quarry fan but I’d much rather fight like Gene Tunney and it just might be a similar mindset with Floyd Mayweather.

    A friend of mine went to Tokyo a few weeks ago and they FaceTimed me with Harada. He was in great spirits. I have a lot of photos from the visit. He said Harada was very friendly and nice.
