Everyone looks back at that record, picks it to pieces and says he fought bums. They werent considered bums back then, times were different back then to now. It wasnt all about protecting a record, it was about fighting when ever and who ever you could fight win or lose. I say give the man respect, he fought everyone on offer...hes a legend and hes record deserves respect and valuev doesnt deserve respect coz if he makes 49-0 it wont be the same. He hasnt fought everyone on offer, hes fought every BUM and NOBODY on offer and is just trying to protect his 0.
