    Well, there is enough reason to be. All a great fighters but Greb is in a league of his own. Not really comparable.

    Leonard's biography was terrible. It was just a glorified diary of his career. Never looked at the man behind the image in any depth.

    I used to think the same, but now I am a massive Zarate fan.

    I rate him very highly at the moment, although I just started doing this recently.

    I have never seen a boring Griffith fight, through my eyes. I enjoy his skill set and boxing, a very tactical fighter.

    I can't think of a great fighter I don't like.

    I was/am a great fan of Ali's,and I always admired Jimmy Young. Putting them together in a ring was never going to produce a good fight to watch. Was a style clash thing. Bad mixture.

    Another one who always got on my nerves was James Toney. He always tried TOO hard to play the badass.

    If you said JT was fat, in the street, S, you'd find out if he was a BADASS, for real.
