    Stander was a kind of tough man type fighter. Better than that but as someone mentioned above a lot had to do with how motivated he was. I believe right after the Frazier fight something happened in his personal life and after that he just didnt give a **** anymore. I cant remember what it was or whether it was just an injury but he went from being a lower C level fighter to an F. He was strong, durable, and had a decent punch but he was short, with a short reach, and could get HOG FAT between fights. He loved to drink and run around and that didnt help his career any either. As someone else mentioned he cut easily and he was very wild with his punches. Basically trying to crowd and throw roundhouse blows. I think he could have been better if he had been developed better but you can probably say that about anyone.
