I used to have hair and a muzzy like back in the early 80's . So did most of the other Liverpool lads. Bet you're glad you weren't born then. Imagine it! You and all your mates.
Gushiken was most like Kalule in style from period i'd say.Vastly superior power, but less finesse and workrate.
For a few years now Gushiken has been one of my all-time favorites. I think it's the whole "southpaw pressure fighter" deal that I'm enamored with. However, I do agree with the sentiment that he should have taken on some marquee fights rather than to stay in his weight division. Hell, it would have been great if he unified, but I'm not gonna ***** about it too much. I think he's one of the most underrated and entertaining belt holders to watch in a scrap (for the much lighter weight classes).
Havent cut my hair in a while, and I normally have it short, and I dont start my new job till end of July, and my hair is getting wild and I been called 'Afro' at the gym. I'm going to grow a 'Gushiken', till my new job starts then shave it off. I reckon I could get a Ray Leonard mini-afro going.
