    it wasnt becuase he was loved it was becuase he beat ali and you must pay..i really liked him his skills were rudimentary but his non stop pressure and aggresion (well not really aggresion but just foreward movement)should of made him some big bucks

    a loss can sometimes destroy a fighters confidence and some losses are hard to bounce back from. The sad story's in boxing are How Ezzard Charles suffered before he died at 51, How Joe Louis and Ray Robinson,great fighters were broke and struggling until Frank Sinatra and Rocky Marciano helped him, Quarry had dememtia and died in his early 50's and so did his Brother Mike, Ali can hardly walk or talk for the last 10 years, Meldrick Taylor,AAron Pryor,Esteban Dejesus...etc.Mitch Green but he is a self imposed Crack addict
