    In a sports world full of prima donnas and pretenders, professional boxers (some of them at least) set a great example of what athletics, and the human spirit, is about.
    Exactly they should be commended and remembered for the way they fought and what they gave yet some seem to think it a sin when mentioning these fights as great because of the outcome.

    I'll choose to remember them as great fights and speak of them as such and not just forget about them as many do.
