    Hill won that fight vs Maske by three to four rounds, inspite of the cut. He took the first six, clean.

    Calzughi....I have to admit, he beat lately men I din't think he would. Too bad he wasted a decade in fighting Who's?...

    Roy Jones Junior.

    James Toney.

    Basically with me, I tend to not appreciate fighters fully until they retire/badly past their best. But when they get to that point, while everyone else simply dismisses those fighters, it's only then I appreciate what they have done for me/for the sport. For me, fighters are not disposable.

    Derry Matthews.

    He was a ****, but now that he got KTFO by Choi, he showed dignity in defeat and respect for his opponent. I have a bit of respect for him now.:deal

    I second that. I used to see him as one narcissistic/probably gay borderline, cowardly fouling mommy's boy.

    But now after his career is over I think that he's a decent guy, faithful to his decent principles. Never avoiding anyone, a man of his word, and a great boxer.
