    Duran's Bergdahl moment exposed a crybaby beneath the tough guy. He cried for us that night and no one appreciated it. The crybaby still owes me $25 for the price of my closed circuit ticket, is how I feel about him.

    He was one of the greatest, though, there is no denying it. Still, the pressures that made him desert the ring that night must have been nothing compared to the ones that made Bergdahl turn tail. I would not want senoir Duran in the foxhole next to me.
    Seriously? You're crying about $25 nearly 40 years later, after an entire ATG, once -in-a-lifetime career, including what is arguably the greatest fight in boxing history, and you are calling him a crybaby?!?

    If nothing else, consider that you spent $25 and got to see first hand what is undoubtedly one of the greatest, most infamously memorable scenes, not just in boxing history, but in sporting history. An event you're still talking about 40 years later and an event that is still routinely brought up as among one of the most shocking, amazing events in sporting history. An event that just had another big production doco made about it, and you got to witness it all firsthand for only $25.

    You think you're going to remember the $60 you spent on Berto/Floyd or even Pac/Floyd? Well, just the fact that you are still crying about your $25 40 years later and having a big moan, obviously full of emotion means it's been one of the most memorable sporting events you've ever watched. Well worth it I'd say.

    Anyway, what's with the weird thing of complementing him, then putting in a really snide, petty insult afterward? If you hate the guy, just say it. No need to wrap it up in fake compliments that you clearly don't feel. Smile, shake someone's hand, then stab him in the back when he's not looking.
