The PPV did less than 100K so it didn't mess up too many parties.
But you just basically said he grew old overnight. Again, regardless if you believe he faked it or not (his injury has been confirmed btw) or he could have continued or whatever, it doesn't rewrite history. It doesn't take away his wins over Pascal, pavlik, tarver, trinidad, 20 mw title defenses, etc etc etc away. YOU can personally believe whatever you want...doesn't change a damn thing in the long run.
The facts are bernard will be a:
-Hall of fame fighter
-An all time great pound 4 pound fighter
-An all time great MW
-An all time great "over 40" fighter
-Multiple record holder/breaker
His career is legendary if you or others think he quit against Dawson or not. Hated or Loved his legacy is sealed.
