There is ALWAYS someone better somewhere, or on their way up to being better than the top guy of the time. Self confidence and giving it a go is a demonstration of fantastic character and guts. I have never stepped into the ring, but I know something, it must be bloody terrifying and have respect for any fighter that does.

I just can't stand the fact so many people on here, who have achieved nothing with their lives, spend all their time trying to diss someone who gave it a good go and came off worse. That is an HONEST sportsman, who came out fighting and lost, why on earth we can't respect that or appreciate it is beyond me. In fact it is probably just a demonstration of how patheticaly small minded and jealous the average un-achieving Uk'er is.
