Tony Ayala Jr.?! I heard that he r@ped a woman real, real bad, and that's what got him sent to prison. Like he sodomized her and nearly killed her and shat. How can you like a guy like that?

I liked him in the ring as a fighter not as a person.

Smokin Bert Came within 1 or 2 Punches(so they say) Vs Real deal.His "title" was not literal ,look at all the Champs he fought he faulterd bad. "smoking" Indeed. Funny as sh!!! guy though.
Lopez was in the Golden Era of Light heavys.Had Saad Muhammad Going In 7th or 8th but Saad was concrete.Gave Galindez all he wanted.....He had to wait for the IBHOF before he got his Title.
Ayalas A Absolute Arsshole.frankly after I heard Of Incidents I cheered Campas as he Beat the Dog squeeze out of his Comebacking azz.Yeah he had potential but He Farked himself........but Now hes "Bubba #2"
Micky ward no doubt......Think he got cut vs Phillips and got Screwd??
Bojado was never meant to be..

Spot on Jeff Bert was very close to taking out Evander what a good fight that was. He also had Moorer out in the 1st round but just couldn't finish him off. He also dropped Moorer in the 5ht round and then Moorer took his a** out in that same round.
I agree on Lopez man he was in some tremendous era of Light Heavys and fought some of the best guys then.
Ayala is more then an asshole but he liked him as a fighter he had all the tools in the world to be something special and he threw it all away.
Mickys one of me favorites hes fights against Green, Quinonez, Burton, Zab & Gatti are all fights he gave all he had.
Bojado was overhyped BIIGGG TIME and just took a S***.

Ward really had a superb Left to the gut.He had bad run on ESPN and lost to guys then that couldn't dream of hanging with him TEN years later.KO of Neary,Veader & Sanchez also Highlight reel quality.Sometimes these "Journey men" bang back.
When I think of Cooper I go through the Coulda,woulda,shoulda stuff.Had His demons been checked and head on right.....Could have been a force .Check out his war with Mercer also .Moorer Vs Cooper indeed Classic brutality

No doubt I have the Mercer vs. Cooper fight.
We can't leave out his fights agains Hipp & Coffee.
