I’m not into knocking fighters like him, but I can’t agree with calling him as dedicated or disciplined as top guys. The fact is, it’s a lot different training and competing to win a fight than it is to survive for 4 rounds. If this guy were either a good deal better than he was, or if he really tried to beat his opponents on a semi regular basis, he would’ve been KOed a lot more than 5 times and had to retire long ago. I’m sure he helped a lot of fighters improve, is tough as nails, and gave it a go, but the fact is that’s a pretty shitty way to earn a living, most boxers would just sooner do something else. I guess in a roundabout way I’m saying I feel more for the guys who get near world level and never quite make it, rather than a guy who just decides to lose for a living.
