        He's apparently a woman beater too. He got arrested for beating the crap out of his wife and pled no contest.

          Robinson said it was a business for him. He was a diva and tough negotiator.

          Louis had his demons too.

          He once choked the hell out of a mistress over a golf game.

          Alexis Arguello, like Louis, was a classy guy with personal demons and issues with drugs/alcohol/depression and had some incidents where they were violent towards women.

            I am disgusted reading people give SRR a free pass for smashing up wife and kids like it was his job.
            Yet the same people says Ali is a pos, because he trash talked

            Ever read Ali´s book ?, he loved frazier and deep inside wanted to be his friend.
            All the trash talk was to sell the fight, not only did he do that very well, he made Joe flight rich.

            Being a good looking black man, that believes in himself, that is brash and we'll spoken, is white Americas worst fear

              Ali ****ing over his buddy is worse than Robinson beating up his wife

                Louis also cheated on his wife several times. He once left home and didn't return home after a couple of weeks, His wife knew that he has another relationship with other women.

                  This is old news, it dosen't change my opinion of him as a fighter though.

                    wtf? He's gonna fight Charles at HW? Burley was all but gone from the sport by the time SRR reached 160lb.

                    You are stretching it.

                      Moore? Burley? Would've been his best wins easily.
