As I said at the start of my first post "forgive my bias" and I do now regret coming on a bit strong with the "talking bollocks" comment.
We do obviously have different definitions of 'over-achieve' and will have to agree to disagree. But I still disagree with you
though do also appreciate your comments regarding "Owen being an outstanding fighter, and more importantly from what I understand, a wonderful guy."

I forget which trainer said it ..........."give me a guy with a chin and a punch and ill take him far in the heavyweight division"
as for galento, he had a lot of both which is why he got far!
