    How many recall this guy ? A cruiserweight come heavyweight who had a controversial fight against Riddick Bowe.. The reason why I'm mentioning him is because he bears a more than slight facial resemblance to Muhammad Ali. Mind you,the resemblance ended there ! Thoughts ?

    More remembered for kicking than punching, and afterwards being double-teamed by the Riddick Bowe & Rock Newman duo. Apparently he's in prison now.

    He wasn't a bad fighter. He did get a rematch
    on Hbo from all that crap with Bowe. He is still in prison on gun charges. Moron woudlnt take a two year plea deal and wound up getting 9.

    Maybe there was a reason for this? And he made very careful decisions on his life in which he lives everyday which you only speak of for 20 minutes your entire lifetime? You never know...

    Yes I know the story. But I only know it as far as you know it. And guess what, we don't know ****.


    The justice system is corrupt beyond your understanding.


    And again, his life is not just some newspaper clipping the way it is for us. Whatever legal decision he made, right or wrong, he put way more thought into than you did.

    No doubt I hear ya.

    But maybe he believed he could do better. Maybe the story was misrepresented, and he did deserve better.

    Or you could be right, he mighta made the dumbest mistake in his life. Either way you gotta respect the fact that thought process it took him to get to that decision was levels beyond ours.


    But yea...back to boxing! lol
