Just a thought: I have my favorites when it comes to fighters, we all do, but when it comes to putting on a good fight, you don't have to be an all time great, you just have to be willing. Some of the biggest hearts in boxing belong to guys that were not on the A list of fighters, or if they made the A list, it was their heart, their willingness to mix it and stand their ground. These are the guys that I support. This is the heart and soul of boxing.
There is no shame in not wanting to be a fighter but if you don't then get out of the game and let the real fighters earn the money. The shame comes from taking the money and never really trying.
