    No offense to Fullmer, but he reminds me of a discount LaMotta. The front running style, the pace, the chin, the general lack of punch power

    Hmmm I always thought of him as a rich mans Hatton (which is a compliment from me lol). Not sure I find him quite as skilled as LaMotta.

    I see him as A blend of Hatton and Galento real ugly to watch but pretty effective at spoiling guys nights.
