How good is James Kirkland's chin?
gets rocked easily. a square on, foreword moving, aggressive, southpaw would lead to always being in harms way. i don't think it matters too much, he has shown recuperative powers and unbelievable will. but he doesn't learn or adapt just runs harder at the brick wall. and with stamina problems and a tough corner he is going to get hurt badly i think in his career. i mean the way he gives no respect to his sparring partners is just diabolical but understandable.

A monologue with Gay Talese I have been called a "coward" and a "rabbit" and an "Uncle Tom" by Cassius Clay, and many people think that I share their contempt for him, but I do not. Cassius Clay, I think, is at heart a modest man. He can listen a long time without saying anything, he can charm you with his politeness. So much of his bragging and stomping, his histrionics and wisecracks are all part of an act.
