I actually think the first Nelson fight ruined him, he did everything in that fight but get the decision and he took it really badly, he got sparked in the first round of the Nelson 2 fight and did well to get to round 8 but was done and dusted after that. The Grove loss affects his legacy IMO as i believe a third Nelson fight was on the cards. Nelson would have KO'd him earlier in fight 3.
He was sensational in the first Nelson fight and he was a tough guy but his defence was lousy and this ultimately found him out in the end. This news of a comeback is sad though.
