    Evander Holyfield, but only if they didn't completely whitewash it (like Ali).

    Imagine the slow, turning point where a beloved star's determination and will starts to cross over into a sad spectacle. A battle between reality and determination: when do you let reality win?

    joe bugner.a great story to tell.fled hungary as a boy when the russians invaded;excelled in sports as a youngster;went on to win domestic and european honours.fought against some of the best heavies of all time;controvercially decisioned england's darling - henry cooper - and was basically shunned by the british public thereafter,and virtually 'run out of town.'resurfaced on the other side of the globe in australia,where,surprise,surprise,he lost all his ring earnings on failed business ventures.has struggled,both health wise and financially for many years.a sad end to a man who was never adopted by any of the nations in which he lived,a far cry from a lot of 'lesser'fighters who have enjoyed massive support and adulation over the years...
