    The thing is Gerald was indeed getting hit with too many shots, but the majority of that came because there was obviously something wrong with Gerald. We don't know exactly when he suffered the head injuries, but it was almost certainly quite early in the fight, as blood clots tend to make a man pass out a bit after first coming about.

    Even if someone else exposed him, Gerald would've come back stronger. That straight right of his had a ton of speed and power and great range. And it's very tough to defend against since its so fast and straight. Speculation of course, but imo he was on path for super stardom. He had all the assets. Should've stayed at 160, and not fought someone like Benn at first fight at SMW. Can't blame him though, he was on a killer role, and did clearly knock Benn out in the first round.

    And, I dunno, but Benn passing out right before the drug test, thus not having any drug test. He was so pumped and animated after the victory. I completely do not buy it, it looked like bad acting to me. I think he realized if he tested positive he would've been thrown out of boxing and into prison.

      Exposed as not being able to KO everyone in the first three rounds as he had been. Exposed by losing. Any undefeated fighter who loses, is exposed. It's just a word. There is something called context. Don't see how its hard to understand.

      Yea he was a beast, so was Tyson. And he got 100% exposed. Just repeating he is a beast is not an argument, is quite meaningless and uninteresting. Gerald had vulnerabilities. He wasn't the finished article.

        Yeah I loved the fights he had with Benn and Eubank, they were absolute classics!
