      When I said the one of the greatest I mean in his category. He fought strong opponets and have a good record. Unlike other boxers who became in the top 5, but their fight are mostly running around the ring or pick worn out fighters for a guarantee win.

    My stepdad was a bar manager/bouncer for years and the only fight advice I ever got from him was, "never fight a fat man - you can never tell how strong or how fast they are."
    I've never fought a fat man, except in judo class. That was frustrating.

      Well the same counts to the skinny or short guys. I've seen 5'6 guys absolutely destroying monsters, just because they were good fighters. Most large people think that height is enough.

      @@-ripinpieces-8409 Totally agree. It's best to avoid fighting altogether unless you have no choice. I trained a little bit in boxing as a teen and the ones who gave me the most trouble, as a tall kid, were the short guys who got in close and used their better leverage. I didn't last long doing boxing, something about being punched in the face that I didn't care for =)

      ​@@-ripinpieces-8409I have been fighting and training for 35 years. I'm 280 pounds. One of the only times I got seriously rocked was sparring a friend in the gym. He was no more than 140 pounds. He slapped me right on the chin with a lightning fast punch. It didn't hurt at all, and I barely noticed it. I went to take a step and wobbled into the ropes. A second later I was fine again. But all those punches and kicks I got cracked with by big guys, then get wobbled by a little guy. You just never know! I treat everybody with the utmost respect and kindness. When it comes to the streets, the only way to win is not to fight.

      No that's actually not the most important thing in boxing. The most important thing is to hit and not be hit. The most important thing is not to get brain damage and run into punches. What is wrong with you dummies today ? Why does our sport have such low IQ losers as fans?

      I honestly really like the fact that he also stepped into other martial arts. Goes to show that he had real passion and no fear of exploring uncharted territories even if that meant he had to face massive disadvantages.
      Im sure he could have achieved quite a few more things as a boxer if he stuck to it but with people being unwilling to risk their records in that sport the big fights would have probably been few and far between
