I didn't cry but did get a little emotional when Yamanaka lost against Nery. (both times) Just the way he lost and the fact that Nery didn't pass the drug tests just made things worst...
I understand what you mean. Growing up, Ali meant much more to me and my peers than a boxer and to see him be a shell of himself and lose to people like Holmes and Berbick was heartbreaking. To this day, I simply cannot like Holmes or respect his achievements.
