    I have to agree, Porter is in the mix of smooth and rhythmic. WAIt, Big George Foreman was smooth? Or are you talking about another Foreman because curious George is smoother than Big Foreman.

    he wasn’t athletic in his later years but I was always fascinated by how slow he moved, like a sloth and still managed to hit people hard. Maybe it’s not technically smooth but he was like a freight train, slowly chugging down the track, nothing jerky but little wasted effort. Not pretty to watch but somehow smooth IMO.

    Yea, a tad confusing this one, I personally ( when thinking of " smooth/fluid " fighters ) don't automatically think of Gavilan , nor Tapia for that matter, sort of see them as pretty much the opposite, especially Gavilan, maybe I have not grasped the concept ? so I see The Keed as quite a frenetic fighter, lots of very quick combo,s , thrown in a wide flashy style, also lots of movement around the ring, which doesn't signal smooth to me , up against say Napoles who must defiantly was smooth and fluid, just my take on the topic, keep well buddy.

    Dide can dress, I'll give him that. About his boxing, I can't help to think how awkward he looked at time v Kell Brook. Amateurish in some moments.
