    He has tarnished his legacy a lot and will be remembered by me as "that old guy that wouldn't go away" instead of "legend middleweight".
    To be honest , I used to think that he shouldn't get any favours because he's old. If he wants to be classed as a World Champion, he should fight the best.
    To his credit, he had the balls to do exactly that, taking on Kovalev when People like Stevenson don't really want to. Ok , so he lost, but at least he got in there.
    I understand this way of thinking about not liking people if they're not KO merchants, but I don't subscribe to it. However, not respecting their achievements is a completely different thing, and that I don't understand.
    the way I see it , is that if he is boring crowds with tactical and dirty wins, it is up to the opponents he faces to stop that happening, like Kovalev did. it's all well and good saying he should entertain, but that's Bollocks really.
    What winners do first and foremost is WIN! everything after that is a bonus.
    For his last fight, I personally would like to see him fight Froch. I reckon he beats Froch , as he has too much ringcraft, and furthermore I firmly believe Froch at best is a bit worried about that and at worst Knows it!

    good speach
    thank you. and not wishing to appear pedantic, but I think it's "Speech."
    i didnt think it was a good speech
    I never said you did,................but you did. Still , at least you're spelling Speech correctly now.
    Don't mention it.

    He needs to look back at the Kov fight and just announce his retirement.

    Hopkins v Stevenson or Froch would be good, the only problem is if he wins he will carry on.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
