“Watching Littler has felt like watching Mike Tyson in 1986, so much potential being realised almost too fast,” says Gregory Phillips. “And beyond his absurd talent, the amount of poise he has shown so far is ridiculous.
“He’s already proved he can do it on the big stage, and repeatedly. Curious to see what happens when someone goes toe-to-toe with him, and yet somehow we might not even get to see that this year.”
I like the Tyson comparison – Cris Freddi, the best sports historian I’ve ever read, said a similar thing after the Barney game. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the treble 20.
