Comments Thread For: Tom Brown Reflects on The Lost Art of Building a Fighter

[ShoulderRoll]

I always thought Ray Leonard was matched great.

He was, in fact his whole career was orchestrated almost perfectly. It's pretty much the blueprint for how to manage a blue chip boxing talent. Bob Arum copied a lot of those elements with Oscar De La Hoya.

You just summarized what reid was saying while adding nothing to the discussion. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul

Reid didn't say anything, dummy. Tom Brown was the one being interviewed. I suggest you read the article again before commenting.

Building a fighter is called "cherry picking" on this site

Yup but it's not just on this site. We live a now now NOW world where an individual is being compared to sporting teams that have literally generations cheering for them.

They're right, it's a lost art. At least with DLH, he fought the best on a routine basis.

With Reid, he also stepped up and fought Trinidad in a war. Reid lost, but that Trinidad fight isn't what ended Reid's career. What ended his career was his saggy eye that he's had since day 1.

These promoters are taking "build the fighter" to an extreme using the Mayweather blueprint and it ruined the sport.

Hopefully we bounce back
