You nimrods who say he's ruining his reputation by continuing to do what he loves clearly don't understand true passion.
He's fighting for himself. Not for you. He's fighting because he wants to push himself even tho he's old, even tho he's nowhere near the skill level he once was, even tho he's fighting guys he should be able to blow out. He's doing it because it make him happy. That's reason enough to do anything and I feel sorry for you douchebags who don't get it.
How many of you will work at the jobs you hate until you're 65 - 70 years old?!!? How many of you will be that senior citizen in the McDonald's commercial working a part time job because you have to--because you have no choice?
I almost quoted this just on the strength of you using the word Nimrods, made me chuckle.
Yes Roy's legacy is intact for anyone that has half a clue.
I've got no problem with him doing what he wants to do with his life. The problem is, what he wants to do is voluntarily get punched in the head.
Yes he's fighting at a level that he can cope with, where the risk is somewhat lessened. But all that needs to happen is for one of these guys get lucky, or for them to gauge the opponent wrong and he's facing another Lebedev experience. No one wants to see that.
