    True enough that was a move that shocked everyone and it paid off with a second to spare.
    Big respect for that.

    Fair or not, I'm not interested in hearing someone who makes 50 million a year whine about how hard their life is. 50 million means no whining. You aren't an unwed mother with 8 kids living on food stamps. You aren't an oil driller in Alaska going out in -20 degree weather to check the pump. **** off with that. AJ got everything he wanted and now he wants to change the deal.

    I really can't remember Ray Robinson or Ali ever complaining about the quality of their opponents. I remember Joe Louis admitting that his opponents didn't offer any challenge to him, or Lewis complaining that Tyson and Bowe were ducking him, but never complaining about how hard it was. Champions run after the toughest fights available and they resent any big fight that they can't get. When Ray Leonard retired the first time because of a detached retna, Hagler pulled his car over to the side of the road and cried because he thought he'd never get to fight him.

    Yep it’s a flipping joke,poor fellow got hit back and lost.Hagler story is brilliant and shows the difference in mind set,been saying for ages though that this undefeated nonsense is total BS,understand how fans bought into it but didn’t expect those competing to fall for it.
    Truth is and Hagler is testament to this,against the better opponents ie 50/50,60/40 chances are you will lose.
