IMO you actually see what they are made of, when the speed goes and the reflex's lessens and they get hit with shots they normally would not take. You see how tough they really are and how durable they are...how deep can they really dig..thats when you find out how great they are....People call it slipping,past prime and it is true..but the great fighters have that extra something in them that keep them on top and winning...look at Hopkins, clearly old and getting hit a lot and forced to throw more..still winning and winning in style...Ali when he got older..got hit more but was able to endure it and keep winning...that edge is what make a fighter great..not the flash, but the fundamental substance and that inner beast!!!

Hopkins gets forced to throw more? -
That's exactly what happened to Marquez once he moved up from Featherweight. He was in his mid 30's and had lost considerable reflexes and movement making him a more offensive minded fighter.Comment

Larry's smashed early today. Lets see how said fighter would do against someone who's actually a top fighter. Not a guy who's only significant win is a garbage broner.Comment

The best fights are when a skilled pressure fighter who can cut off the ring chases down the boxer and forces him to sit in the pocket and fight. You really see the boxers entire arsenal of tools on display.Comment

Larry has such a gift for making threads all about Floyd without mentioning his name. One day I hope to be at such a level.Comment
