@Jose, it is all about acceptance my friend. The moment a fighter recognizes his inner voice that hey “you are done my friend, ext”, they should respect and quit. If you bring “I” against that voice, it will ultimately destroy you and the life would truly brings you on the canvas and you won’t be able to stand on your feet. This is my humble request for every boxer, think about your own body, your love ones, your own family before sweating too hard on this. Exit. God bless all

GoHealthy78 they all do that. Unfortunately many fall victim to exploitation. Many are guilty of poor money management. Either way, when it comes down to paying of some mistakes, and poor planning, they only know of one way to earn a living. So they fight past their time. They trade a bit of their legacy’s in to appease the IRS. Not like Ali was dying to fight while he was dying from fights at the end.

He didn't get hit much in his career. He smashed people up at light heavy and he would knock guys out at heavy or get knocked out early. Having a good chin like Holyfield is both a blessing and a curse which means you can take more punishment which means more damage.

In case I'm mistaken & he already has been, then please forgive me for not doing my research!! But if he hasn't yet been inducted into the IBHoF, in light of him being retired for five years p!us now, then I personally feel he deserves to be. Does anyone out there agree with me?

I'm glad he can speak well no brain issues. Also many think of him as HW, but his real career was at LT HW. This is why many are thinking how did he get in as HW. What he did as HW was the result of being an elite dominant LT HW champion. But take a look at Holyfield who took the same route, but had more success at HW than Moorer but Holyfield was another dominant LT HW elite fighter far greater than Moorer, in my opinion. It would've been great to see them fight at LT HW.
