Great, well done! You provided information that is readily avaiable on the net and then made a thread that not only bores me, but has no real meaning. Even people who dlsike or hate him cant deny his accomplishments. I doubt anyone is saying he is not good, like me they just belive he is not as "elite" as made out. So dont hate just because people have different opinions to you, make decent threads that allow people to costruct decent arguments for and against, rather than just waste our time.
how come his list of awards does not include the "2009 Winner of ESB General Forum Poll for Fighter of the Decade"?
What do the first 3 even have to do with boxing???? How do pacs nuts taste?? For the other 2...... I dont even want to comment on how ******ed that is :-(
