    He brawled more than he should have rather than box & made things harder than they needed to be far too often (Morales)

    Floyd doesn't fight nearly as often as he should

    Agreed, but he should have had the fight in the US and in a smaller ring... he should have determined the conditions of the fight (within the rules) cause he was the champ, not Ali. His overconfidence cost him dearly.
    Maybe he would have lost anyway, but then it had been on his terms.

    Tommy hearns had every chance to put srl away but didn't have good enough finishing skills, he also underestimated haggler and got ktfo for it.

    Erik Morales is not really a god. He's only a demi-god. (He ain't Zeus, only Hercules)

    Chavez became very lazy somewhere during the middle of his 140lbs reingn...He wouldn't bob and weave as much as he did in his earlier days, and would start to rely too much on his chin...His drinking and drug use made things worse, and he became a sore loser.

    Floyd is on the decline.

    It's natural for a 35 year old. While still elite, his prime years are behind him.

    Ali made the right decision. Surely, the U.S. would have had him killed while there. That was a b.s. war that came at a time when blacks were still fighting for their rights at home. **** the Vietnam war.

    Olivares: Partied waaay too much...Had he been as disciplined as say Salvador Sanchez...I have no doubt he could have been as great as a Roberto Duran.

    Pac doesn't know how to cut the ring. Trinidad is chinny. Tyson has stamina issue. Donaire looks **** against defensive fighters.
