    Duran and James Toney had slow feet.
    Willie Pep and Sweet Pea Whitaker lacked fight ending power (Hurtado k.o. was a fluke).
    Prime Foreman lacked the ability to pace himself/stamina.

    Then Mike McCallum did not have fight ending power except the Donald Curry fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Paul Williams - Crouching, fighting low

    Kelly Pavlik - Not making any time of improvements as a fighter as his career progressed.

    Jermain Taylor - See above

    Terry Norris - Leaving himself completely open to counters during exchanges or while he's delivering punches. Protect yourself at all times. If you go back and look at every time he was ko'ed, it's because of this reason.

    Jones Jr never fully developed the fundamentals
    Holyfields heart was bigger than his brain. Sometimes
    Tapia. Demons..RIP champ
    Norris lacked discipline and went to war with a thin chin
    Zaragoza suffered cuts at just the thought of shaving in the morning
    Toney could be a slob and he timed fought ninety seconds of a round

    Golovkin currently seems to take a rest for a round or two after he gets a knock down, this allows him to be hit. Thankfully for him his chin is decent.

    Klitschko has 0 inside game, if someone could exploit this and stop him clinching they could beat him.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.
