    Firstly, hitting your pregnant wife is bad.... but was he a serial wife beater? It may have just been a moment of anger, this does not justify his action. But you have to differentiate between knowingly (and for me anger sometimes make you "unaware" of what you're doing) hurting causing pain and being cruel/evil as oppose to unintentionally hurting somebody.

    RJJ and former G-Man used to intentionally go out and be vruel to animals. They used to do it for fun and "sport".... for me muzzling up a Labrador and then putting it in a box with vicious pitbulls is no sport. It's just sick, plain and simple. There's intention to be cruel, pre-meditated. What people do in the heat of the moment - while it needs to be punished if the act was bad enough.... it's still not as bad and premedidtaing evil sick cruel acts.

    What about all the other RJJ fights "that should never have happened"??? All those bums he used to take out while showboating making him look even faster than he was... He had good wins initially in his career against great fighters like Hopkins and Toney.... but what about when he fought a shot McCallum and LHW? What about all his showboating against bums?

    RJJ should consider himself lucky, that he got 50% of the purse. He would never have done that, if he was in the ascendacy

    I'm one of the biggest anti-animal-cruelty people around, I despise it. It makes me sick.

    However saying that G-Man deserved what happened to him, particularly as a boxing fan who knows what he gave in the spirit of this sport, is absolute disgraceful. You can try to twist it any way you like, and try to justify it however you want, but it's just disgusting. Get the **** out of here with that ****.

    I see your point, but it wasnt heat of the moment he alledgedly did it numerous times, and that to me is far worse than animal cruelty. Dont get me wrong, what Gerald was into was vile and as a dog owner i find it deplorable, but people on here are quick to say he deserved what he got for what amounts to Animal Cruelty, while at the same time lauding over and praising fighters who have done what SRR did and boxers who have done far worse aswell.

    What a load of ****, Roy didn't get humiliated. He got out worked by a top pound for pound fighter 5 or 6 years past his prime. Theres no shame in that, I give him props for the fight.
    Would you say SRL got humiliated by Norris, or Holyfield in any number of his recent fights?

    People like to chase foxes on horseback with hounds and kill them, others like to hunt crows with birds of prey. So what if G-Man and RJJ enjoyed a bit of **** fighting and dog fighting. Thats how they were bought up and it was normal as fox hunting for them .

    RJJ didn't get humiliated in the sense he sgowed great bravery, courage, heart in adversity to fight till the end. In my books it was a redemption of sorts for what happened against Tarver and Johnson.

    But what happened where he could pull the trigger, where a white boy danced in his face.... that's humiliation. When he danced around bums it was cool.... but when JC showvoated (badly IMO) it's cruel to do that to a legend??

    Listen, I'm not justifying anything.

    People on here are saying it was wrong to showboat in front of nice guy RJJ.

    I'm just pointing out, he's not such a nice guy. In fact he did the same things to bums and he is fortunate to get a 50/50 split on the purse. He got paid a lot of money to look silly in the end.

    As for G-Man, he wasn't that much of a nice guy either IMO. So I wouldn't have so much sympathy for him.

    Watson v Eubank was tragic. And Watson was a genuine nice guy... and he's recovered fairly well, thankfully.

    Just because you are a famous boxer, doesn't put you above morality. RJJ used to humiliate opponents. And outside the ring he had some interests which could be considered cruel. Like the former G-Man, good fighter.... but i don't sympathise with what happenmed to him as much as I would someone like Watson. The only bad thing about G-man / Benn fight.... was the way it affected Benn afterwards psycologically. Same with Eubank against Watson, he was never the same fighter after that.

    Of course, you're right. It's not like Mclellan fed put smaller defenceless dogs in with his fighting dogs to get ripped to pieces is it?
