    Pleasure and guilt two side of the same coin. No issue with it.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Very true. But I have been a fan for 55 years and this is the FIRST time I really hesitate about what I am seeing out there. I'm sure I'll come around, but the sleaze factor I researched in the Greg Page affair made me want to puke. Watching Jones get hammered doesn't help and listening to Holyfield deny he is on PEDS is bile-inducing

    It was for his dad.

    There is a lot worse but the good outweigh the bad way more. King screwed a lot of boxers over, the mafia ruled boxing in the 40's, look at Ali being used for the Holmes fight. the list goes on but there is a lot more good. Roy Jones at his peak is the best boxer I have ever seen in my life time from 1986 and i would not change that for the world.

    Good reply. Everything you say is spot on.

    Speaking of Holyfield, he could have at least used a better alias--something like Mr Real Deal.
