        I think that is the opposite of what defines a fighter.

              maybe i wrote it wrong... obviously what they do during there prime matters the most... but fighting past their prime and using there heart, the intangibles outside the athletic ability... to go beyond your scope as a prime fighter... like ali did, and sugar ray robinson.... thats what i personally like to see

                what do you mean?? he fights just like anyone else, makes weight the day before and whatever he weights the next day dont matter, plus everybody said Tarver would dominate him because he was naturally bigger and look what happened

                  No offence but it is NOT what I like to see when a Fighter doesn't know when to quit and embarrasses himself and gets badly hurt like Ali.

                    Sorry you are right...Bore hard is a legend for beating on men who made their history in the divisions below him and were not renowned for beating anyone of worth at Middleweight.
                    I stand utterly corrected....
                    He is a legend.
