Requiem for a welterweight: One of the oldest sayings in boxing,
the first warning every aspiring fighter hears long before they've ever entered a ring, is that the most dangerous punch, the one to fear most, is the one you never see coming. While the cliché is certainly true at the start of a career, it rarely holds up toward the end. This is because almost none of the great fighters in history ever stopped after that punch --€” and the history of the sport suggests that few can ever escape it.
