    John looks solid technically, good all-round fighter but there isn't that one attribute that stands out. It's likes there's something missing that makes him a p4p level fighter.

    Anyone else catch the "Height and reach are both intangibles" comment? Yep, you can't measure height or reach....;)

    Vernon Forrest used it before the 1st Mosley fight: "Height and reach beat speed and power". Although it seems like John is more than matching Rocky in the speed and power departments as well.

    But a stupid comment all the same. Lets put it down to a slip-of-the-tongue.

    In fact, according to boxrec their reach is identical: 69":think

    However, John is the taller of the two.
