    No doubt. Bradley beat him straight up. I wasn't implying that he had a drug problem then or that he lost that fight because of any reason other than Bradley. Drugs became an issue in more recent years.

    Yeah that’s a good point...I kind of forgot about his struggle with opiate addiction at first. He was definitely a great fighter and I didn’t mean to imply that he wasn’t. I guess my main point was that at one point in his career, I thought he was on a trajectory to eventually be the kind of fighter who regularly headlines pay-pay-view cards. And while he certainly accomplished a lot, he never quite reached that level (and the opiate issues could have definitely been a big reason why).

    Thank you, brother! I feel like sometimes people don't get how high The Great was ridin' when Storm got him.

    Juiced to the gills?

    Was it Ariza that juiced him?

    Well you are probably right, as Roach himself confirmed that Ariza was giving the muscled dwarf, Manny dodgy shakes

    Manny's head grew as well, no doubt full of HGH

    I was watching Devon Alexander sparring on some boxing website before he fought his first professional fight, everyone knew he was a future belt holder. But Mayweather is just a clear notch above this guy. Nothing more to say.

    Nobody wanted to watch this fight. Devon Alexander's unwatchable fighting style against Floyd Mayweather's running style.
