thompson could have been a great heavyweight. but he lost belief in himself after the first wlad fight. just showin up to collect his checks. He didnt believe he would beat Price last time otherwise he wouldnt have shown up in the shape he was in. thats not dedication. he very well may win this time(i doubt it) but he doesnt believe it.
