I always thought Jonathan was the toughest of the 1970's Bruins. He would have been a handful for Fotiu. Jonathan was incredibly strong, had good power, and could throw them with both hands.
As far as all the Fotiu shadow boxing is concerned, I figure it was his opponents that didn't want to engage. With his boxing background, a squareoff was always advantage Fotiu. With Nick, it was best to wrestle, get in tight, and try to negate his handspeed. Fotiu always preferred the squareoff, it gave him a huge advantage.

Hey finally someone posted that the Marco Baron clip does exist and O'Reilly didn't exactly distinguish himself!
