billay Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was never a big fan of the golden boy, but I've got to give him credit. He wasn't afraid to fight anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Never liked the Golden Boy. He legitimately had 5-7 more fights that he clearly lost where he was credited with the win. I always thought there was something a little crooked going on in his camp. Good fighter, good ambassador for prizefighting, good guy, just not a personal favorite. That said, boxing really can't afford to lose whatever big names they still have/had. This could be a pretty big blow, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
