    Looks like he was holding the WBA strap ironic that it would become his first world title ..

    It's amazing how intelligent, articulate and clear his speech is, and how clear and bright his eyes are.

    Why didn't you stop after Ruiz...Why Roy...why did you break our hearts...

    Nothing like that gold medal. Poor Roy and Floyd. No matter what they accomplish, they can never achieve that Olympic Gold(that they were robbed of). That scarred both of them greatly.

    IIRC Ward and Jones had quite a close relationship back in the day. I remember watching Ward's debut and I believe Jones had to recuse himself from commentary during the broadcast because he said he was either Ward's promoter or manager.

    Ward's original style was in the mold of Jones, and he tried his best to emulate him, but he said he found that it was just too difficult to do as it required a degree of athleticism that Ward lacked, so he adopted more of a Hopkins style from then on.

    It's funny how all of the slick black boxers coming up today have some variation on either Mayweather (Broner), Jones (Dirrell and Martinez [honorary, lol]), or Hopkins (Ward).
