some people say because of his looks but most chicks I've talk to say he's ugly as hell and looks like their local mexican landscaper.

Whoa... that's an unwarranted and unecessary cheap shot at landscapers.

He has a Gold Medal. He doesn't always beat the best, but he is always willing to fight the best. He is an offensive fighter, which is a crowd pleasing style. He looks good, I guess. He speaks pretty well.

Because he won a gold medal and he have fought, the best fighters from 130 to 160 since he came into boxing, he have not refused to fight anyone.Everytime he steped up to a division he has fought the toughest available fighter in that division. Plus the guy is a good bussinnes man and knows how to be marketable!!!
