I always thought that he fought like a bantamweight, if that makes sense? As HWs get bigger, they lose mobility and agility, and he fought like a smaller fighter. Like Dempsey.
I don't know if those imperfections were short of what Cus demanded, or just a part of the style. Being squared up like that- on your feet- is a problem to begin with.
Wouldn't he have to square up being the smaller man?
