I'm fine, matey. How are you? I must say, I think Pep would be heavily criticized if he gave up in similar circumstances today. Rightly or wrongly, that's up for debate, but I think he'd catch some ****.
From what I can gather in his career up until Saddler he had never really been in trouble, like major trouble like Saddler gave him.
Would you guys see a guy as having heart based upon the stuff he's done out of the ring? Or do you see it as irrelevant? I'm talking about stuff like Battling Siki's war exploits, Williams standing up to the mob and here, Pep's fighting back from supposed paralysis?
I think he needs ample time, but I quite like the idea of him making a return to English football. He wasn't a roaring success at Liverpool all those years ago, but neither has anyone else who has came in afterward. Benitez won them a Champions League title, but other than that, he made stupid signings of players that weren't fit to be playing for Liverpool. Hodgson has done the same thing. I'm optimistic. We have good English talent at our club.
I think "heart" certainly isn't definitively quantifiable and if it were at any given time, the quantification would not be a constant measurement for one's entire life anyway. Humans don't work like that. Just so I don't get McGrain's reputation for dissing Addie by not answering his threads directly, there you go. My next comment will probably be about Bjork or Win.
Well, did he lack heart in his fourth fight with Sandy Saddler? Would more contemporary fighters be criticized for the same thing?
