Couldn't agree with you more. I gained back a lot of respect for him tonight. He came out and quit because he knew he didn't have the heart to do it anymore. He said he quit because he didn't want to disrespect the sport by participating in it just for the money. When I was watching him talk after the fight on ESPN I actually got sad that he was leaving, but I'm glad too. If he doesn't have the stomach for it anymore it's probably better for him to move on anyway. He will always be looked at as one of the greats in my book. Best of luck to him in whatever he plans to do next and I wish him the best of luck in getting ahold of his debt. I know that's the only reason he fought tonight. I hope he gets through it ok.
