I respected him more for his off-the-arena character. Never watched boxing that much. He was a great role model. Unfortunately, those 3 last matches where he got pummeled may have been what triggered the Parkinson for him.
Oh well. At least he didn't get shot to death by a lunatic(like other African American role models). His legacy will forever be remembered.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.
