The time for stating your thoughts is firstly when they are alive, second is when they are stone cold and laid to rest.
I deleted it because those closest to him could read these things and they are up set already and it just adds to their sorrow in their time of mourning.
His history is there for the reading in that very first post, it is in that very first link.
You want to make a thread about him in a couple of weeks with other fighters misgivings go right ahead. Again now isnt the time.
Anyone remember him sparring with Muhammad Ali ? i think he was only like 19 or 20. Muhammad Ali played with him but what a moment it must of been for M.Dokes. R.I.P to him as everyone else as already said the fight with E.Holyfield was a slugfest never to be forgotten.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
ı am ıgnorant of hıs drug problems---what I DO remember was fondly hearıng I thınk Gıl Clancy mentıonıng that Mıchael Dokes was a really great and talented chef---an experıenced and praısed cook! and that he had the tendency due to thıs talent to over-eat. Guess he really cooked up some great dıshes.
