I've never seen a truly great fighter get knocked onto the ropes unconscious ... knocked out cold before ... and I saw Roy Jones get knocked out twice in a row.

If he's chasing the full restoration of his legacy, he's chasing something that he really can't get,

It was hard (for Juarez) to have the same sort of engaged respect for Soto. But the more you looked into it, you had more reason to believe that Soto was one of those guys who had learned on the job (despite five losses) and learned from his mistakes and was capable of taking advantage of this opportunity.
