      I think a lot of guys might not like the watching other people compete as much, or might not like certain aspects of the sport liking hurting people, criticism, etc. I would think that almost all fighters at the highest level have some love for boxing, its hard to get there if you dont.

        Sugar Ray Robinson
        Miguel Cotto
        Jermain Taylor


        I don't know about Michael Moorer, I see him all the time on Friday Night fights plus I hear he's training fighters with Roach now.

              Maybe he hates to train himself, just look how fat he got late in his career.

                Article on Moorer helping out Roach


                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Michael Moorer, New Assistant Trainer at Wild Card Gym

                Former world heavyweight champion Michael “Double M” Moorer is the newest addition to trainer Freddie Roach’s world famous Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles.

                Roach informed insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports that Moorer is his new assistant trainer and has begun “working at the gym” along with conditioning guru Alex Arriza which makes it a truly formidable team.

                The southpaw Moorer whose last fight was a 1st round KO of Shelby Gross in the United Arab Emirates on February 8 last year is 41 years old and has a ring record of 52-4-1 with 40 knockouts.

                He won the WBO heavyweight title with a 5th round TKO over Bert Cooper on May 15, 1992 and then won the WBA and IBF titles with a majority decision over Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield on April 22, 1994.

                Moorer lost his titles when he was knocked out in the 10th round by the awesome puncher George Foreman on November 5, 1994 but came back to win the IBF title with a victory over Germany’s Axel Schulz on June 22, 1996.

                Moorer then suffered an 8th round TKO and lost his WBA and IBF titles in a rematch with Holyfield on November 8, 1997.

                Roach’s former assistant Justin Fortune, also a heavyweight who once fought Lennox Lewis, left the Wild Card some two years ago and set up his own gym also in Los Angeles.

                    Ray Robinson didn't like boxing, as he said, he mainly did it for the money, he didn't really like the sport.
