    How'd it take until the second page for someone to mention Fury?

      Naseem Hamed also got exposed for how off-balance his act was against Barrera and then had one more fight and called it quits. I didn't get into him because he lunged in all the time which I knew would result in him getting exposed eventually which it did. And I'm not knowledgeable because I didn't follow his lame ass?

      Please. Duran, Chavez, Arguello, Tyson, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Marciano, Walcott...the list goes on and on of fighters who didn't use this tactic. I'm saying how often is it effective? It worked with Hamed's lunging style, for a while, but hell, even Kevin Kelly made him look like garbage.

        Junior Witter and Johnny Nelson particularly used to annoy me doing this.

        But it worked for both. Their awkwardness was a great asset for both.

        It is weird how orthodox Kell Brook is compared to all the other lads that have come out of that gym.

          Witter and Nelson made that style difficult to watch or like, Brook too use to learn that switching stance but since ingle son took over permanently he guide Brook towards a more unorthodox style, Brook is a very well schooled boxer who can prove his worth of given the right fights
