Thompson is good, and he's very subtle about it. If you weren't watching yesterday's fight closely, you might say that Thompson was fighting sloppily. But he actually was doing a lot of things right. He controlled the distance with good footwork and didn't let Price catch his breath. And his punch selection was excellent. I'm not gonna dig up the exact sequences, but I remember him throwing some really good combos (i.e. right hook to the body, right uppercut, feint, lead left--all landing). There aren't many heavyweights who have almost every punch in their arsenals, and he worked the uppercuts to a tee.
He's good enough to have beaten Morrison and Mercer in the 90s, Bonecrusher and Berbick in the 80s, and Spinks and Young in the 70s.
