Hay I am not arguing with anything you are saying but the point is it all amounted really to nothing in the boxing scheam of things. People will remeber him like I mentioned him as being a guy who could have been it that was as close to being it but never became it. Thats all I am saying. Just keep your memories he was a hell of a fighter.Originally posted by ferocityYou are wrong. He could have fought for a title but didn't, instead he wanted to keep fighting and earning his title shot. He made a lot of money in his comback which was succesfull -imo-untill he ran into Ramon "Yori Boy" Campas and he was beating up Campas and Campas was taking it and dishing it out later on in the fight on even terms, then Ayala broke his hand and the fight was stopped. I remember for one fight Ayala made somthing like 600 hundred thousand dollars. He was still a star in the boxing world and in the city/state that he is from. For a fighter that was out of boxing for more then 14 years he had one succesfull comback, had he not gotten in trouble with the law again, he may have continued boxing and surly gotten a title shot.Comment

I see what you are saying, i aggree, he could have done so much more in his prime.
I learned about him first on the hbo special. After that i followed him all the way threw he second comback and seen as many of his fights as i could. He made a hell of a run, he was old but looked like one mean sob, still intimidating and looking sharp. I don't know exactly if he went to jail or not, but very messed up if he got sent back, but then again im not sure of all the details of his last troubles.Comment

Ricardo Williams turned out to be nothing special at all and look at him now. A lot of people thought he would be pretty good.Comment
