i think most folk over this way would agree kevin anderson was way past his best by the time he fought mcintyre ,he used to drop massive weight before a fight, that and his style would always make for a shortish career. absolute bull of a man and he could bang. i still think that performance against young mutley was one of the bravest things i ever saw in the ring. at that point the man didn't have an ounce of quit in him. that fight took years off his career,imo.
