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.
exactly fight fourth problems punch round second serious understand
That fight with Brewster, I understand exactly what happened. I won't go into it but even if Wladimir had scored a fourth round knockout, which he was one punch away from doing, Wladimir would still have been in (serious distress) because of what he told me after the very first round. We had serious problems after the first, second round which had nothing to do with Brewster.
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.

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.
fights forgotten totally
It's a whole new world for him, ... He had always been the star, not his brother. The pubic has totally forgotten him because of those two losses. It's like that's the only two fights he had.

believe control man peter realize thinks walk
He thinks he'll overpower this guy, but believe me, that is not going to happen. Peter is going in with an experienced big man this time, and he's going to realize it's a big man because of the way we're going to control him. This is a very experienced man who is focused. Peter is not going to just walk through him like he did these other guys.
