allowed based driving fighting head inches lose past saw second slow strictly style successful whatever youth
I never saw him being successful past 26. His style was strictly youth and instinct, based on driving through people. It never allowed for a long career. All youth and aggression, fighting with your head up front. The second you slow down, for whatever reason, you lose it. Because your face, which is 10 inches closer, isn't getting out of the way like when you were young and fast. You just can't get away with it anymore.
fighting thinking victory
I would love to see Wladimir Klitschko fight Antonio Tarver for many reasons. One is Tarver talks a lot; he would build up a big fight. And Tarver is coming off of a great victory. So I think he would be a good opponent.
fighting fans doe
Hopefully in 2011 the fans will get to see some fights that they want to see. Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather needs to happen, and so does David Haye Vs. Wladimir Klitschko. The fans deserve to see fights that they want to see and not just the fights that the promoters want to see.

best common expect fighters fights loses opposite oscar punched punches ray reminds stands sugar understand
Oscar is one of the most naturally-gifted fighters I've ever seen. When Oscar fights on his toes, he reminds me of Sugar Ray Robinson. What they have in common is, Ray punched best from his toes, and Oscar punches best from his toes. It's the opposite of what you'd expect and I don't understand it completely, but it has to do with rhythm. When Oscar stands flat-footed, he loses his punching-power.
close figure gets head hits peter relaxed
That's the way Peter fights. He gets in close and he hits you in the back of the head and the shoulders. That's his style. You're relaxed when you're in close because you figure you can't get hurt. And that's when he hits you with those punches, when you're vulnerable.

I wish the fight was last week. He's that prepared. I'm more confident than when Lennox Lewis fought Mike Tyson.

anyone beat boxing brad dedication hurt passion pure seen worked
For pure passion and dedication to boxing, you couldn't beat Wright. Brad wasn't a politician, but he worked so, so hard. In all my years, I have never seen anyone in boxing work as hard. This has hurt him a lot.

along cleaned dominant mike since tyson
It's a mess. It's like it was 20 years ago before Mike Tyson cleaned things up. There really hasn't been a dominant heavyweight to come along since Lennox Lewis.
