it's a damn shame he went crazy.

I don't care what anyone says he had a fascinating personality and was damn exciting in the ring. Pac vs Valero could have been an awesome 5-6 round fight that most definitely would have happened.

I get your reasoning but it's just not realistic. In a perfect world, I would agree with you 100% but the reality is when we put these people on the cover of magazines, movies, commercials etc....they impact people's lives, especially children.

I grew up as a teenager in the 80's, Michael Jordan was bigger than life man, everyone wanted to play like him , be like him and dress like him.

If he came out with a shoe, everyone had to get it. If he wore a certain type of clothing, you would see kids do the same and if he did something against the law or outside of basketball, that was imitated as well.

Hero's are put up on a pedestal because of what they do in the sports world but also because of the amount of attention we give them. Now more than ever with all the media we have that we didn't have 20 years ago.

These guys are hero's, role models whether they like it or not. Think about how heated this place gets when Pac fans and Mayweather fans go at it....you think they aren't seen as role models? Come on..........

I'm not saying that they aren't seen as role models, simply that you have accept and understand that besides greatness at their craft, they are still human beings with human flaws.

I guess what i'm saying is that if you make someone a role model, don't expect them to live up to that title, because they're job isn't to be looked up to and live their lives as role models, but to simply be the best at what they do, besides that they just might be the worse kind of human garbage and that's not role model material in my opinion.

timing was off. If he wasn't a lunatic in the later part of his life, he most likely would have had one fight at 140 then pacquiao right after. And it would have been huge. I reckon it could have been Valero instead of Clottey or around that time frame.

Again, you are repeating yourself but just dismissing reality. They are role models whether you like to believe it or not, simply because of the fame we give them.

If we didn't put them on the pedestals they are on, I would agree but we literally worship these people (not me just speaking in generalizations).

They are the equivalent to royalty in todays world, they are the Kings and Queens of today so to speak.

It's inevitable, they are what they are and when they make mistakes, they will be judged for it.

The dude killed the mother of his children. That's seriously messed up. Valero was a very sad guy.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Valero was murdered.
