The great fighters in history have always been willing to risk loosing to win. Take SRL.. by today’s standards he would be considered a slugger. Ray preferred to box, however he would press when the opportunity was there. then there is Floyd , a f ighter who would have the opportunity to shine in just about every match however in most cases he wouldn’t seize it. that’s why 20 years from now people will still be talking about SRL.
cc on that,nicely put
