    Sharkey was known to let his emotions get the better of him in the ring,which cost him a higher standing as a fighter.

    He was. He didn't have the brains to use a full arsenal of punches or defend against the incoming.

    There are those who will jump all over me for this one, but Felix Trinidad fits the bill for the exact terminology of this thread. He is an all time great, a favorite of mine, but he simply had no plan 'B'. His plan 'A' normally controlled the fight but when things were slipping away (DeLaHoya, Hopkins, Wright) he just kept walking after his opponent with no change of plan. Maybe just poor corner work or ring prep, but very one-dimensional on his part. Again, he may have a tremendous IQ for all I know, but when things go awry one has to adapt.

    /I forget who said it, but there is a quote about Jack Sharkey: "He's the best fighter in the world...from the neck down."
