Adversity builds character. He got up, showed doubts in interview and more importantly got back into the ring again, fk for the fans but for himself firstly. Peterson was revealing his defensive holes, think against a true 147-154 he'll have no choice but to stand ground. I mean shit didn't Holyfield smile after a draw & loss...ok thats a stretch.
I don't think he's heartless by any means, I'm just not sure how much he really cares.
You could also take it as he smiles because he loves what he does, not that he's "too nice". You mentioned pacquiao earlier as a champion. Do you remember he was once known for his constant smiling in the ring?Quote:

Ortiz can move up to 147 and fight Clottey. Good chance he can grow fighting Clottey without Clottey throwing punches back. Although I'll fav Clottey.
Exactly. A draw was nonsense. Ortiz won more rounds and had a 10-7 round.Quote:

Peterson showed a ton of heart but no way he did enough to earn a draw.
He was smiling because he thought he won, he gets paid the same either way. So I think he was thinking about going to check his bank account or something.;D
