      What? Floyd jr had a great jab, better than Robinson.

        What?!? I never said Floyd had a bad jab. I said his weakness was his opponents jab.

          Hah. Oscar did okey but was never close to winning. Nobody was.

            Coralles would like a word, but sure; we can pretend Floyd's never had a close fight if that's what you want.

              He never had a close fight in the sense that he was close to losing.

                  If the long range fighter knows what he is up against and finds a way to cut down the pressure fighter's output and prevent him from closing the distance then he'll win. It takes all kinds of attributes and those with the best of them become world champions.

                    Prime Roy Jones is the best example I can think of with no weaknesses.

                      The long range fighter is out of his comfort zone. They like everything nice, calm, and orthodox. They do well against brawlers because they are slow.
