    Tyson really broke my heart. He was the symbol of invincibility. I couldn't even beat him on Nintendo damn it.

    Roy Jones Junior is not finished, he may be out of his prime..! but he's not finised.

    Great Fighters can find great performances when they are out of their prime.

    Roy Jones no question. After the weight loss, he was never the same. Jones lost to inferior guys he never would've lost to had he never went up to HW. These inferior fighters I talk about(Tarver, Johnson, and Calzaghe) are now even being mentioned with Jones too, and Jones critics all must've forgot how good jones used to be lol..

    Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Tyson I knew were past their prime so I knew what to expect when they lost. Jones on the other hand after is near loss to Tarver in fight 1...while it did signal the end is near for Jone's to me...his next two ko losses came so suddenly and without warning lol...

    No fight has hurt as much as the third Morales-Pacquiao fight. He was done, and his face said as much. It was shattering.
