the only diff is they didn't have his speed or his crushing power; nonetheless i was a big fan of his, i was just aware that much like jones jr his secret was his phys gift... it allowed him to be unorthodox and effective
meh. Watch him when he's shadow boxing. Watch how he turns those punches over and watch his hips. He might be goofy to watch, but comparing him to a youtube warrior is waaayyy out of line.
