    Benny Lynch socking out Jackie Brown and the French Gypsie Theo Medina doing the same to Jackie Paterson... that is exactly what I thought when seeing both these fights.

    Chavez was quite composed and I always thought Haugen was pretty relaxed in there. Guys whose trade is fighting, born to fight, you can see their comfort.

    I'll bet Greb was the same and countless others too, Nicolino Loche from what I've seen, I remember thinking that about him also. Loads of Born fighters I'm sure!

    Couldn't agree more with Toney in his prime, l -- so relaxed 'n trigger-quick with his counters. The "ol' Mongoose", Archie Moore, certainly deserves mention.
