    That was shown when Tarver knocked him out during filming when they werent hitting each other not even close to full force. Sly realized it was a bad idea when he woke up in the ER.

              If you're a true Boxing enthusiast then you know who legendary fighters are, no matter what part of the world your from, or what nationality the fighter is. With all the alphabet mess and changing of the rules that has brought forth all this confusion, it's not hard to comprehend why we have more casual boxing fans than we do true afficianados. The current state of Boxing is so ****ed up and can be pretty confusing, so it's easier for the casual boxing viewer to stick to a select few fighters that have been hyped up by the media as 'stellar' and remain ignorant about the rest of the potential. They are probably better off though, being passionate about boxing can be pretty painful and annoying.

                  Living in Australia it is hard to find someone who knows anything about boxing. People that I talk to who think they know about boxing wouldnt be able to tell me the names of more than 10 boxers. For example, I got all excited about the names in the superfighter tournament like Samuel Peter, Calvin Brock, O'neal Bell, Chrid Byrd, and the guys I talk to hadnt heard of any of these boxers. Im not saying Im a boxing expert by any means, but it would be nice to have friends that know what they are talking about.

                      just keep reading on expert reviews, lots of sites on the net, and watch boxing of course.
