    Not Mills!? He really was the best in the game!

    RIP Mills

    Mills: "He bit his ear"

    Tyson: "That was a punch"

    Mills: "BULLSH**"

    :lol:

    Damn! Last I heard he had a stroke years ago. I just assumed he passed quietly some time back. One of the best to do it. I remember the Tyson ear bite. Mike tried to justify it and Mills shut Mike up with a sharp, decisive "BULL ****". End of discussion. RIP sir.

    Haha. Mike said it was a punch? He must have had piranhas in his gloves.

    I looked at a few passages and did not see any clinches.

    Plus Whitaker has a point deduction when he grabs Nelson's leg.

    Mills Lanes name will be remembered for long while in boxing history, that is not a bad legacy for anyone in our sport.
    Rest easy Mr Lane
