Quit the sport with his health, unlike his closest peers, made $300 Million after it. He’s smart.
Piper’s claim to fame was having the highest IQ of any sports figure past or present.

Evander's No1, always has been ever since seeing Holy/Buster, sheer heart alone makes it hard not to be. The rest are listed in no order, but it’s true that Sturm, Oscar & Kessler hold a special place in (trousers) heart.

"Rocket was a much more of a finished article than the Pud, Rocket ranks among the Monzon's & Robinson's of the Middleweight division, Top 5 easily, Tocker, have him at 6 at SMW which hasn't created any real star of sort"
-Bert Sugar, Bulgarian Boxing Monthly - July 2008
Of course he would, Dirrell sees his opponents in bullet time.
You can't beat The One, not even if your an agent of the (British) system like Joe is...
"There'll be like 20 threads discrediting Joe tomorrow on NSB, all mentioning the same thing, If a 43 Year Old Nard put him down so a 36 version would easily beat him"
I was right...
Huge fan of both, but Calzaghe.
If Roy wins, I’d be happy so long as the Trolls here don’t piss on Joe to much, which is a no-no I guess.
Calzaghe going out underfeated and Jones having one last great fight, keeping it tough, competive and entertaing is the way i want to see it go...
When I was on a months Holiday in Italy about 6 years back, I was in my room watching TV and a recognizable face appeared on the news station piece speaking somewhat decent but not brilliant Italian. I was puzzled as to it was as i recognized the face, then it hit me, the marvelous one, I never seen a black guy speak Italian before that, twas weird (OK, I’ve heard Sumbu speak the language).
Toe-to-Toe, but sometimes it’s great to see a clinic especially if the guy being schooled was the majority pick by “experts” and idiot forum “fans” alike, while I backed the underdog to pull it off (taking abuse off the fans in the process leading up to the fight)…
Two fighters who can still throw punches, but can no longer block them (well in lacy’s case, never been able to,) fight would be awesome.. Tito by UD I think, but I’d would be surprised if the much bigger Lacy pulls off a narrow win or even (T)KO Tito…
