he really let the Lewis fight ruin his career
I remember he was down 10 rounds nothing going into the 11th and his corner was like "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?? Fight him"
he went off the deep end and GOT OUTBOXED BY CHRIS BYRD
He will lose first time he faces a step up in competition IMO
head case who had power and a good chin and not much else IMO, certainly didnt have the brain to be a champion

Cris Arreola's camp turned down a fight with him.
BTW alot of weird things happened in the build up to the Lennox Lewis fight , his father told him he was proud of him and then his family started praying - this was right before the fight.

yep and apparently his dad never told him he loved him, ever, ecept when he was about to walk out to face Lennox
I think I still have that Ring article, Goosen was like I jsut signed this guy to a million dollar signing bonus and he is fucking crying in the dressing room before the fight has happened
never a good sign

Ike vs Tua was a great fight but gets overrated IMO

I thought Tua might have killed Michael Moorer when that one happened
