    What was odd about Tony was he had a title shot against Moore scheduled when he did his crime. He could have been champion had he beaten Davey. When Ayala didn't fight Davey then Roberto Duran fought Moore, which to me was a better win because it had more history involved in it. That rejuvenated Roberto's career and then Roberto fought fellow greats Hagler and Hearns the next year and a half and those fights are remembered. Maybe Ayala would have fought Hagler and Hearns or Duran, but I doubt it. It was better that greats fought greats. The fact is Ayala could not control himself which ruined what could have been a decent career. I say decent career because I never saw him as possible great. Too open a style.

    I immediately think Tyson when I see this topic, and mostly just for that one incident. I've heard he's really cleaned himself and become a family-oriented man in the past decade or more. Glad to hear it.

    That said, I'd never leave Mike alone with any attractive female I know. I don't care what anyone thinks about that.

    Naseem Hamed is a POS. Left a guy for dead (turns out he crippled him) and was arrogant as hell when leaving prison. Showed no remorse. Awful person.

    Some that haven’t been mentioned enough in here are Floyd Mayweather, Deontay Wilder and I always thought Darchinyan was a POS for his crass “maybe he’ll end up like the last guy in the morgue” comments.

    As to Darchinyan, I wasn't aware of those comments, but one could very easily liken them to Duran's comments following the Lampkin fight. He's treated as a faultless demigod here.

    Not saying you do, but others appear to applaud that kind of thing depending on who said it.

    Ironically he went to prison for that **** the sme year Tyson went to prison and I think they were released near the same time too, at least the pig came to a sticky end in Jamaica.

    Well then if he didn`t why is he considered a bad guy? Someone said he beat his wife on another thread.

    In the non-participant category, this list should include:

    Panama Lewis: (removed padding from Luis Resto’s gloves for his fight against Billy Collins Jr, resulting in career-ending injuries — including some loss of eyesight — which led, arguably, to suicide by Collins, who died in what his family and others believe was an intentional car wreck).

    Rick “Elvis” Parker: Slimy promoter who (allegedly) drugged Tim “Doc” Anderson for his rematch with Mark Gastineau (Parker’s former football player cash cow), causing long-term health damage from the poison (as well as him getting knocked out by MG) — Anderson later shot Parker to death after confronting the promoter and begging Parker to tell him what drugs had been used so he could get treatment.

    Why would a black guy in the 60`s during segregation in the south want to go and fight for the US government in Vietnam for no reason anyway?

    Rough diamond said he saw Ward in a store and went up to Andre to say hello, but Ward was very rude to him, and that he was arrogant with the cashier in the same store also.

    I wouldn`t feel comfortable admiring a peadophile if he was great at boxing though.
