    Or anyone. Respect fighters for their own abilities, don't build them up to be something they're not. Valero would of probably suffered the same fate.

    Valero is like Ike Ibeabuchi to me, the same demons that made him great are the same ones who took him down...That was his fate...

    :yep Ali and Tyson were one off, like all the great fighters.

    There will be great heavyweights in the future, though, and they will have their own sytle and their own charisma. Wish they'd hurry up.

    You gotta be nuts to expect a second coming of any fighter.

    Everyone who has made it that far hade their own special thing about them, Tyson did his thing, Frazier did his, Dempsey did his and Marciano his. None were all under the same roof.

    Boxing isn't really hurting that bad, there will be these guys who are superior athletes who also have the ability to fight, and develop pugilistic skills.

    Edwin Valero was a special breed, anyone with a keen sense of boxing could've seen that. He was a beast.

    Wait, are you saying Manny Steward's jab-n-grab style isn't exciting?
