I don’t know a lot but my favourite all Time is Phil Simms. I do have a soft spot for quarterbacks though.

Is OJ still considered a GOAT or has his personal life tarnished that?

He’s still considered to have been a hell of a running back.

Just kinda going off the fact you liking Buster so much off of one massive super upset.....and legit nothing else. Biggest upset like ever like, but just a bit mad.

Gatti makes it even more odd, you can reel numerous great bouts he was in outside of the times he was a punching bag against anyone elite.
Oh, I definitely understood why you felt Hasim Rahman, would possibly be my 2nd favourite boxer. I can see why you think its a bit mad that James Buster Douglas is my favourite. It boils down to the reason I watch sport. The tv shows I watch, the movies I watch, the books I read ... I ask myself what can I take from this? The case of James Buster Douglas is a powerful example of how adversity can be bread for victory. I've experienced adversity, and that adversity will be bread for my victory.
