    I wonder if James will be remembered like other great fighters of this generation. He was such a lazy ****, he could have been one of the best two or three of the last twenty years. But given his accomplishments... what will his legacy be and will he stand the test of time?

    Of course he will you dunce ******. Not only was he one of the craftiest fighters to ever step into the ring, he was also a genuine personality outside the ring.

    As a real "old school" fighter, with top notch skills and an incredible chin, who unfortunately often didn't train as hard as he should, and didn't know when to quit. A real boxing craftsman, with major character flaws that limited his greatness and hampered his career.

    Of course he will. Mostly for his loss to Jones and win over Nunn, but he will definately be mentioned from time to time.

    Not so much outside of diehard fans. He'll be more remembered for his attitude. Hes a bit like Tua
