    Yeah, the more i watch him, the more it becomes apparent, he was more of a great tall offensive Boxer/puncher than a excellent tall Boxer like a Vernon Forrest.


    In those fights i mentioned he seemed to show chin issues, stamina issues, and that he was not comfortable fighting on the backfoot, at that stage he also seemed to lack the reflexes to avoid getting hit with the jab, it was though he had little defense against that punch if he did not slip it.

    He did well to pull it off against Virgil Hill though, although I always thought Hill was rather disappointing despite his great "statistics" in title fights.

    Not a big Hill fan either.

    He choked badly against Hearns.
