    Many never thought he'd make it back to that fight .. he almost died before it ..

    Sullivan seems to have been a physical marvel .. in his short prime he had great strength, hand speed, endurance, a rock chin, courage, a warrior's spirit and true one punch KO power .. one can ply imagine what he might have been twenty years later properly trained ..

    Yep, old John L was a true marvel. I think properly trained he'd be just find in any era. He had all the natural tools required to do so.

    According to the author the girth of his being just under 2 feet indicated that he had an abundance of nervous energy!
