    The best story I ever heard like that was by James Coborn about Charles Bronson from the movie "Hard Times" , the best of all fight movies in my opin. He said that Bronson was coming so close to landing that the other guys were terrified of him. In a realated story once Bronson told a story of how he was in Paris and a mugger came up behind him w/ a gun and said,:Give me your money". Bronson turned around and said,"You give ME, YOUR money." and the guy got scared and ran off. Classic :rasta

    Some people have no idea how to pull their shots. And some people have so much power that they hit you and it's like a bomb going off in your face and when you complain they just say "I hardly touched you," etc etc. And of course some people just hit you as hard as they can 'cos they want to.

    I always heard that Sly trained as hard as any real boxer but never had much of a chin. I think that's partly because he's never been used to taking thousands of punches to the head and body as a real boxer would be.
