If you are not fighting mainly for money, then you are in the wrong sport, and indeed probable have some kind of mental illness.

Anyone remember Alex Garcia? For those who do not know, he was basically a Journeyman Heavyweight from the early 90s, who went on a bit of a unbeaten run, and shot up the alphabet ratings. So he was offered a fight with then Champion Riddick Bowe, for 'Heavyweight' money.

Garcia honestly (stupidly) refused the offer, suggesting he was not ready to step up yet, and needed a few more fights...

A few fights later he is being flattened in a couple by 12 and 8 journeyman Mike Dixon.

This sport is hard enough, without making sure you get every penny you can out of it. A 'legacy' does not pay the bills...
The San Fernando hammer Oh man, good call. Another case of one or two savage kos and all of the sudden he's world ranked. If only everyone could have a Bull Benton to nearly decapitate with 22 unanswered power bombs. I thought he was also offered a 'shot' at Foreman and refused it. Dumb, dumb. The closest he came to being a legit ring terror was the lead baddy in 'Diggstown'
