Yep, stance was issue..I don't like women beaters and arrogance, but he is a great boxer..Maidiana? was the one I thought would knock him out...Canelo too green and slow at that time. Sugar Ray and Hitman fights are still among my favorites...when my son came back from military police training, he said he could take me down...he took his position and before he could set up, I got his pinky... brought him to knees and triangled him with feet...he tapped out.. said he was not ready... reminded him of Bruce Lee mantra, fights are in the what is, not what ifs...years later when he came back from Iraq tours, we squared off. He got me on ground and in rear naked choke hold quick...I got his pinky again but he cranked...I tapped ...my neck was sore but my pride more. I don't think I can take him anymore...
