    Also people use chin a lot, but I think if Khan had even a respectable chin he could be the #1 guy.

    Emmanuel Steward once said that Linares was the best fighter he has ever seen..

    Along with Leonard, Finito, and Marquez, Linares is also one of the greatest boxer ive seen in my era...

    Words cant describe how enjoyable it is to watch Linares ... had he not been so fragile, he could have gone down as the best FW-SFW of all time and a top 10 ATG fighter..

    Finito, he is right. Joe was a raver and had plenty of women but it was all kept under tabs. He was told never to gloat over a fighter he knocked out which is why he looked stone faced. Johnson ruined it for a lot of black fighters, at the lower weights it was ok to be champion but not at heavyweight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Well the funny thing now is that the people would rather have bad mouthing black guy and have him be a thug from ghetto in US. Now all we have are these white guys who look the same are doctors and help people around the world and they get shit for not having personality how times have changed.

    Boxing is a gladiator sport where the loud mouth, thug types fit right in.. They are the ones who create excitement in this sport..

    If Wlad had personality, I bet people would be more forgiving of his boring style..

    That's how Floyd became the #1 cash cow ..

    Joe Louis pretty much was a white man with dark skin
