[Smokin']

Carr, Hearns, G-Man - all of those guys fell in love with their power.

was'nt steward's fault, he always wanted mclennan 2 box more i heard & get some rounds under his belt

Exactly mate, like i've said, had he stayed with Steward then things may have turned out differently, but he believed in his own hype just a bit too much i think and quite possibly surrounded himself with the wrong people.

had hearns not been a guy who fell in love with his power, we wouldn't have witnessed what a beautiful KO it was when Duran hit the canvas from Hearns straight right

Never known as a knockout puncher in the amateur ranks

Youngest member of a semi-pro basketball team when he was 17 but found he wasn't much of a team player

Chief sparring partner for middleweight contender 'Dangerous' Donald Lee from 1984 to 1988

Didn't drink, smoke or do drugs

Prayed to God every day

Father was alcoholic and regularly lashed out at him as a kid

Brother Todd was said to be an even better prospect but didn't have Gerald's dedication

Sisters ignored Gerald as a kid and adored Todd

Felt his mother loved Todd more than him

Slept around a lot because he seeked attention and affection

Listed Don King as his idol

Received only a measly $250,000 from the Benn fight, compared to Benn's $1,700,000

Ok, I understand that what happened to Gerald was a tragic thing.
However, does that really enable you to lie about him in order to make it seem like he was a good innocent guy before the injury?

I really doubt the first line in bold and the second.. Well, that's just laughable that you would try to make an excuse for his sexual activities.

Also, who really cares if he wasn't the "favorite" kid growing up?

So.. Was there really a need for this thread?
Couldn't you have posted this in one of the many other "G-man" threads?

A ****** one at that.
I could never do that, even if I was getting paid for it.

It's just too embarrassing.
