    I use to enjoy his fights but if I recall correctly he'd be robbed 1/2 the time.

    I think he was fighting Burton about 15-20 years ago and the robbery was so bad that Teddy Atlas went ballistic over it on national tv.

    Haven't seen Tommy Morrison mentioned. He had his flaws but he sure put on a good show. Never really knew if he was about to left hook the other guy into oblivion or get himself KTFO.

    Jorge Páez rarely gets mentioned, but he probably ought to.

    Yeah, just skimmed through and five pages in, not one mention for Páez but three already for Prince Naz. :-(



    From ring walks through final bell, Páez was nonstop entertainment.

    Hamed bit his entire act, pretty much - and for this fan's money, Páez was more fun to watch both on his way to & inside the ring.
