Good fighter. Underrated now I would say, he was quick handed, anticipation, quick footed, strong, set a pace many couldn't live with.
I remember watching a training session of his in 2004 and it was crazy, at that time the word in gyms was that him and Mayweather were the hardest/best trainers in boxing, I remember Manny Steward saying something similar also. So its no surprise that they ended up in the ring for $$$$.
I think when he started fighting at elite level the inactivity hurt him, bad! He stayed out of shape and weighed 170-180lbs 6 months of the year! He deteriorated pretty quick.
Overall a fan. I was at a few of his fights, and Mayweather-Hatton also. Great memories will never forget.
