Throw Back Friday Edition: Gerald McClellan
The ” G- Man ” was one of my favorite fighters growing up. His attitude and the way he punched and fought in the ring was stellar.
Who knows how great Gerald could have been? Many and myself think that if it wasn’t for the tragic Nigel Benn fight, we would consider him a lock as an all time great today.
He was that good.
I often show clips of Gerald to my fighters in my gym and have them study his punching leverage, space, timing, and how he ripped to the body.
Watch this clip on how Gerald would get terrific leverage on his punches, watch on how he would finish with that numbing left hook to the body, ( body work is a lost art today! ), watch his accuracy and timing, watch his attitude of not giving a fuck while taking intelligent risks in the ring that gave him awesome and thrilling victories over other viscous punchers like Julian ” The Hawk ” Jackson.
Emmanuel Steward did a great job with Gerald and Manny has said that Gerald was pound for pound probably the best fighter he’s trained this far in his career.
That says a lot and they clips show and teach a lot. Watch and study them now!
