Shane Mosley, being unable to slip the jab from taller fighters
Vernon Forrest, taller fighter who took advantage of mosleys Achilles heel
See, its easy.[/quote]
mosley slipped the jab well enough from marguerito - a much taller man - so that dont work
so its easy to steal someone elses post but it seems hard for you to understand that by trying to be smart you make yourself look a fool - just answer the thread...if you can

Re: Great Fighter's Achilles Heel
yeah, Margarito was a great jabber who compares really closely to Forrest, you have a point there
Re: Great Fighter's Achilles Heel
ezzard charles was outstanding in just about every department, but he did have trouble with punches to his body. pat valentino doubled him up with a terrific body shot somewhere in the middle rounds.
he also had a problem with being hit after the bell, being butted and receiving low blows, as demonstrated in his fights with marciano.
(i did the last one just to wake suzyQ up)

Beat me to it and he sure did. Ali was very lucky to take the rubber 2-1. Many had it 2-1 to Norton.stevedoc wrote:Ken Norton for Ali he just struggled badly against him

Paris, in the original.
I've only seen these fights in black and white, with no sound. Are they so old that they aren't available in color?
