Oscar is one of the most naturally-gifted fighters I've ever seen. When Oscar fights on his toes, he reminds me of Sugar Ray Robinson. What they have in common is, Ray punched best from his toes, and Oscar punches best from his toes. It's the opposite of what you'd expect and I don't understand it completely, but it has to do with rhythm. When Oscar stands flat-footed, he loses his punching-power. Emanuel Steward

![[This dereliction of technique is not easy to explain. Steward suggests that it is actually the result of the aging process, a natural regression. At 24?] I never saw him being successful past 26, ... His style was strictly youth and instinct, based on driving through people. It never allowed for a long career. All youth and aggression, fighting with your head up front. The second you slow down, for whatever reason, you lose it. Because your face, which is 10 inches closer, isn't getting out of the way like when you were young and fast. You just can't get away with it anymore. - Emanuel Steward Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBFbWFudWVsIFN0ZXdhcmQgICAg&num=8 "[This dereliction of technique is not easy to explain.
