    Never, ever will a 19 year old be so ****ing dangerous. Shame he let it all go to waste, he could have been an ATG.

    Agreed. It was one hell of a ride for the time...too bad the train went right over a cliff before any of us could get off it.

    for real, he could have dominated 4 close 2 10 more years, cause he didn't fight that long at that level, he not in most top 10 list, even just for HW, but u put up a list of the most feared boxers of all time? he'll be 1-5 maybe even 10 after comin out of jail. any naysayers?
