He once said his body was never the same after going 19 rounds with Mike Tyson.
Just makes me think of something Andre Ward said... that there are no "moral victories" in boxing. The fans love you for "being a warrior" and taking unnecessary punishment. It's entertaining. But it does nothing for you in the long run, neither for your career nor your health. Respect to him to fighting on with a broken jaw, but respect doesn't win a title or bring you back from the state that the great Gerald McClellan is in.
