      My dad told me about him when I was really little.. imagen loving something so much that you just don't want to give it up. Having that back then was a death sentence. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.. today he could have been at undetectable levels and still did stuff in boxing maybe not be the heavy weight champ at 50 but still do what he loved.. it sounds like he just gave up rest in peace Duke

      Not quite. Tommy took shots at Mike Tyson when he was clearly unjustly accused of rape by that golddigger and put in prison. Tommy made some televised comments about Mikes behaviour when he was clearly no choir boy himself. And the comments were primarily based on the FALSE RAPE ACCUSATIONS. Tommy was obviously taking major advantage of his "Great White Hope Status" he was receiving from the media and public and he ran with it right into a MACK TRUCK!

And also, how you guys make the montage, how you choose the score, really gives the right aura about the sport, it's perfect. It perfectly narrates that period of heavyweight boxing, the 80s were wild as hell. And so that's so entertaining. And so informative. Love you guys.

They're are many fantastic films whether you are a huge sports fan or not. They are very well done. But also I'm sure you can find them on the ESPN+ app, but there is a subscription fee, although there is a lot of content available, especially if you are a fight fan.

He needed wise counsel when he gained success to keep him level headed and on track. He didn’t have it or if he did, refused to listen.
    He seeemed to get HIV fairly early in the disease’s discovery. Why he would stop his meds other than financial ruin or medical misery might be a real mystery here. It’s a sad story to me. RIP The Duke.

      Jasmine Owen - When you’re unleashing a vicious combo trying to finish your opponent in such a high stakes fight where your belt is on the line most people don’t stop until it’s stopped by the ref. Adrenalin and wanting to be sure you get the W plays a part. Anyways, he wasn’t called “merciless” Mercer for no reason.

I was the most popular dude in my town growing up and when i fell on hard times not ONE person ever called to check on me or be there for me, but when i was getting full scholarships playing college basketball and dating beautiful girls they all wanted to talk to me. Very important lesson and now today i make sure if anyone's in need i reach out. This lesson made me realize how much this world needs the Lord.
