            “Once asked point-blank by a reporter about what he did to train for a fight, Strickland famously replied, 'I don’t.'”

            According to a 2013 article “Reggie shows few signs of wear and tear, speaks extremely well, and his face belies the astounding number of fights in which he has participated. He avoided serious medical risk because he fought defensively and knew how to hang on. He also had a knack of dropping to the canvas at the slightest hint of an incoming volley.”

                    - -Robeisy Ramirez more Gold medals than U pugs got credit including 2 Big Olympic Golds.

                    Splashy signing by a gushing Arum to suffer 1st rd KD for his debut. Recovered well and better than the cards show, now 3-1, 3 KOs, yet still ranked under the guy who beat him who hasn't fought since...only in boxing!

                        I don't want to go back and read three pages of posts from 2006 so I will blindly offer (and likely repeat) the two classic examples.

                        Benny Leonard L TKO 3/4
                        Henry Armstrong L KO 3/4
