  Yes,he crumbled but I would bet my house that had Cus D'amato,Jim Jacobs or even Kevin Rooney stayed with him until the end, we would be talking about an all time great. He just crushed his opponents,his power struck fear in to them! I guess he is slightly over rated in that we did not see the best of him for long enough but what we did see was frightening and had he carried on, I am certain he would have cleaned this generation out easily too!
  He had it all,power,speed,defence and one of the best uppercuts I have ever seen.Period.
right on dude!!!
