    He smashed our Barry Michael as well for his IBF title so he had that Aussie connection as well

    The news article are focusing more on the Rocky crying meme than his great career which is typical of the sh!t that passes for journalism these days. I never saw anything funny about a guy at rock bottom breaking down publicly like that and don't get why anyone would.

    Anyway Rocky fought some fantastic fighters and acquitted himself well against virtually everyone of them. He was the definition of a well-rounded fighter and could count himself very unlucky in fights with absolute top shelf fighters and legends like Pedroza, Gomez and Chavez.

    You're at peace now champ.

    I remember when he physically beat up Wilfredo Gomez, and I thought he got robbed.

    That was a horrible decision.

    Lockridge was the WBA Champion but only on loan as the WBA really liked having Latino Champions.
