    The epitome of the left jab artist.Stick and move, his bad hands forced the style on him and none mastered it more completely.

    Right...in fact, he was obsessive about developing that jab...fitting a room with mirrors so he could hone and refine that weapon through close scutiny. One of the very best boxers of history...and what a great, great left jab.

    His fight against Braddock was a left hand poetry.

    Why didn't he fight Maxie Rosenbloom?

    Don't know, but IMHO, it would have been a boxer/technician/defensive whiz delight.
