    Hit at around a 50% Mark, which isn't that bad.

    Liquid Swords Top 5? Check
    Roberto Duran Top 10? :verysad
    Pernell Whitaker Top 20? Check
    Mike Tyson Top 100? :verysad

    ...yeah, that won't happen.

    Close, but no cigar. He'd be duking it out with Kid McCoy, Billy Graham, Midget Wolgast and Sammy Mandell for 101 if that makes you feel any better.

    Maybe not, if Duran hadn't lost to every single great fighter he ever lost and Joe Louis wasn't the greatest champion in the history of the sport of boxing.

    I think i'll go around again.

    The greatest champion in the history of the sport of boxing.


    Mmmmmm, i feel refreshed.

    the ONLY times Bernard was legitimately beaten were Jones jr & Dawson. Benard had to wait till Jones was short of $$$$$$ to get the rematch he wanted so bad. Th e he got his revenge. Roy didnt win that clearly hence he didnt want a rematch
