Lost respect for him? Why? what's the toughest fight you've been in>


In my CHOSEN profession, I have been in incredibly hard fights.

I didnt choose boxing he did, again if you are going to go after something, pick something you would be willing to go out on your shield for.
Do you get battered in the face in your CHOSEN profession? It's very easy to sit here & talk like you would be there till the end, but the fact is he's in there, not any guys typing away on a message board. He's come from nothing and he's probably now made enough money to sort his future, and maybe the fact he's had to struggle makes him realize how much he values his life. No one wants to end up like Gerald McClellan & if you can't see the punches coming from a guy like Maidana than that's what you risk.

However, he does deserve to be criticized for the manner in which he fought the fight after knocking down Maidana twice. It showed that he's still too green, as a smarter fighter wouldn't have shot his bolt trying to get Maidana out of there.
