I like your list better, especially the Jimmy Young defense part.

You have to strut like one of the guys in my sig too. Doesn't matter which.

I was going to say what werewolf said. Klit has the physique, the jab, the hook, the right hand, the conditioning, the ferociousness. No one has ever had as many strengths, and it's not even close. But you can't speak the truth on this and be taken seriously, so I will shut up now.

*No one has ever had as many strengths, and it's not even close.*

No, don't stop, it's the truth. Tell them, brother!

Well werewolf I won't make enemies by discussing the particularities like whether his jab is better than Holmes's, his hook better than Frazier (different hooks so comparison isn't valuable), his right better than Shavers, etc.

Cletus is my friend I won't argue with him.

KG - You're much more diplomatic than I am!

I can admit Wlad is the best offensively gifted fighter I have ever seen. The Intangibles are lacking though.

I agree. I never said he was the best heavyweight. But he throws all the basic punches better than any of them; I don't see how anyone argues that. Holmes, Liston, Forman, etc. are sloppy next to this guy. But in a fight different things are taken into account.
