Agreed and its a shame with politics and law suits ruling the day its hard to temper the 2,now it depends on the REF,SIGNIFAGANCE OF THE FIGHT....there was a point in the 1st Gatti Ward fight were the Ref should of stopped it for Arturo's sake if you were a compassionate person like me it was hard to see him get beat up like that I was yelling on my couch STOP the fight before he gets killed!!!!!!!!!!!!! But thats how Arturo cemented his legacy but then you have what happen to Johnson and you say why did he have to take such a beating and lose his life?

Richard Steele stopped the Chavez Taylor fight cause he felt Meldrick Taylor had taken enough punishment even though Meldrik was winning on points he said "Julio was landing the harder shots through out the fight" Meldrik deserved the benefit of the doubt he deserved that win if he was gonna spend the rest of his life Slurring his words and not being with it, he should have been able to say he beat the mighty Julio Caeser Chavez IMO I think he was screwed!!! but with 10 seconds left WHAT IF JULIO HIT HIM ONE MORE TIME AND KILLED HIM its a double edge sword
