    ya a lot of fans are a fickle bunch, but without them the sport would have no audience and the boxers hae no money. But ya i know what you mean, their not going to take raise money for you when your in times of need:good

    We can say that hearns did it to himself he had plenty of money, I still feel sad for him though because he is one of my favourite fighters.

    dissing Tommy Hearns, one of the greatest WWs to ever walk the earth? This site is getting overrun by ignorance. This thread should have been deleted for stupidity.

    I always love it when tards bag on boxrec. Th eonly problem you have with boxrec is that instead of going on your manlove, it works with facts. For fans with manlove for certain boxers, facts are the last things you want to deal with.
