Everyone seems to think he's bat **** crazy, but he does make some good points.

They're disappointed in him, and he's disappointed with them for not having candy for the children. You know tit for tat.

Pls help him out haymon

Crackaddict.

So sad.

[bojangles1987]

Damn. Kinda worried about his safety and others around him.

Yeah. Please get him help, boxing has obviously done something to his head.

Shame on the people who let him back in the ring.

[SN!PER]

If only there'd been candy, none of this would've had to happen.

He always seemed to be the humble fighter. I forgot who he fought in his return after clearance, but he was knocked down by some bald headed fighter and got up to win.

He was so passionate about that win because it was him overcoming some demons from the past fights where he was hurt and knocked out. He proved something to himself that night.

However he was so passionate about that win over someone he was expected to easily beat. It kind of showed that he's doubted himself for a long time. That passion also seemed out of character which leads me to believe that his tough fights and knockout losses have pushed him to a very emotionally distraught character.

I pray he gets better and considers hanging up the boxing gloves to go in a direction where he can possible become an inspiration again. It was nice to see him win a title back. As a fan, it was an emotional moment to see him overcome the thought of NEVER making it back near the top. But I think he proved that to himself and hopefully can find peace in other areas.

Awaiting his book "How to blow it when you are on top". Not sure if it will be drama or comedy.

First off, I'm not like alot of people. I don't feel like kicking him when he's down. Yeah, he brought it on himself, etc etc blah blah blah. Funny how the most critical toward others are usually the most lenient on themselves. I happen to have alot of respect for someone who can pull themselves out of the pits and conquer the demons and win. And it looked like he did that for a while. Seems though, he short circuited after the injury and having to postpone the title fight. Some say he needs mental therapy, and I wouldn't argue it, but for some fighters, fighting IS their therapy. I don't happen to think being locked up in prison will help him though. Prison is mainly a for-profit business now, with an eye on the bottom line and not much else. The place he will find the most success would be with a good psychiatric counselor. Anyway, I just hope and pray for the best for the guy. Hope he can find some peace and salvation.
