The people close to him loved him, the people against him hated him. He abused his rivals to get an edge in the ring, and fought dirty and...
Most of what you say here is damn sound. We box for different reasons then we fight, and very rarely do we even dislike our opponents, honestly....
London was a competent fighter. Not world class, but still. Very good boxer, and considering how badly he was out of his depth, gave Floyd...
