Care to explain the reasoning behind such an opinion?
Yes. I'm not saying he was a bad fighter, far from it, he was a great fighter. I just think he was the weakest of the fab four.
He wins polls as the greatest light middle of all time, but his record does not convince me, and I would have McCallum stopping him every day of the week had he not avoided that fight. The losses to Barkley, Leonard, and Hagler just jade his legacy a bit too much for me to consider him as highly as others do.
I hear you there. However p4p I have him the best of the fab four he had the height, reach, skills and power to go up the weights with ease.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
