Fighters who have been an inspiration to you.

[Phantasm]

I took the liberty of bolding the convicted rapists of your post.

Thanks! I'm just surprised you knew how to read!

Hagler for his work ethic in the gym

Duran because he was a warrior and a man of the people

marciano because he was a 5'10 HW that could K.O probably anyone in his prime if he hit them

[Tyson.]

Title is all.

Joe Louis has been a big inspiration to me, he seemed such a nice guy who helped ot anybody, gave a lot of his purses to charities and helped with the war effort for free (I think but, clarification is needed) only to have his life screwed over.
A sad story but, the man remained humble throughout.

Joe Louis wasnt a 'nice guy'

When Joe Louis asked Lena Horne, with whom he was then having a relationship, to keep score for him at a Hollywood golf benefit, the singer refused -- she was entertaining troops that day. Joe hit her with a left hook. Then he started to choke her. In his 1978 autobiography, written with Edna and Art Rust Jr., Louis said that the only thing that saved Lena's life was an aunt in the next room who threatened to call the police.

Alexis Arguello

From the little I know of him seemed to be a good man, fought with a lot of heart. Was always respectful to his opponents

Joe Frazier

Came from a tough background and worked hard to achieve his dream, which is something which should be admired. Fought with a lot of courage and dignity, it was out of order what Ali did to him

Archie Moore

Very smart guy, who didn't just learn the fundamentals but took his skills to the next level. I would say that's how it should be with all things, you should always try and push yourself to learn new things.I told he also has a very inspiring life story which I hope to read up someday

Congratulations! Another lame thread.This sh^te belongs in the main section,not in the history section.

Its a very good thread and you will notice a lot of the fighters mentioned are retired. Hence it should be in the History section
