Wherever one looks, there's only praise for the guy. But if people read Pinklon Thomas 2008 interview from here (https://www.boxing247.com/weblog/archives/121855) they will learn Pinklon entered the ring with prime Tyson with a rotator cuff injury to his right shoulder, in full knowledge of Dundee. Thomas went into the ring that night to face the most feared puncher in boxing... just with a left jab. And he still gave Tyson plenty of problems. I believe what Angelo did was simply despicable; he took his cut from Thomas' 650.000 $ purse then just watched him getting decapitated by Tyson. How does this guy get so much praise in the game with such low moral standards ? Opinions ?
There's no question he wanted it. But he cheated the public by coming in so injured. And Dundee had no business getting along with this scam.
Why did Bob Arum and Roach let Manny fight injured? Why did Roy Jones Jr. beat Hopkins with one hand and the other injured? Did David Telesco really ask for it, from a injured Jones too? Why does the British Parliament let Amir Khan continue to fight knowing that he has a rare jaw disease that turns his lower mandible into glass whenever struck?
It was career high payday for pinklon and he was going to get beat up even if he had three arms Smart business decision by Dundee
