Besides the height, what was it, technically? Not a rhetorical question, I never puzzled this one out to my satisfaction.
They always say awkward. He looked awkward, I mean a little clumsy.
The one thing I can say was that he knew very well how to fight tall, in Manny Steward lingo. He was not afraid to jab, either. His right hand was kinda hard.
It was not even a weak era, was it, as I remember? I mean Braxton himself was pretty darned good and Spinks showed the blueprint for clearly squeaking by him, twice I think, without doing much damage.
Is he as good as he seemed, or is he overrated? Am I mis-remembering his exact era? Was it a bit weak? I know he was surrounded in time by great light heavyweights, but I cannot remember which of them he actually fought in their prime other than Braxton.
