Kevin Iole takes a look at other fighters that took a good, long break and came back just fine, including Joe Louis, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson, who history ignores really didn't do much of anything all that notable besides lose and bite people in his second run, but then that's another story for another time.
UFC 103 tests clout of Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez - SI.com
Josh Gross of SI sums up pretty much how I feel about Saturday's combat sports head-to-head on PPV: "Aware of the shared date, promoters and fighters on both sides have attempted to lay down the gauntlet. Fans with sworn allegiances, willing only to accept one sport over the other, are missing out. For true fight fans, however, Sept. 19 should be a memorable evening, one worthy of embracing differences."

Josh Gross: “For true fight fans, however, Sept. 19 should be a memorable evening, one worthy of embracing differences.”
So now “true fight fans” are only those who like MMA too? And who have enough money to shell out for two PPVs on the same evening? Whatever, Josh.

He just means people that enjoy both sports. True fight fans, not true boxing fans, not true MMA fans.

I know it's sick but
remember those conversations when you’re a kid that go:
‘ok, bear and a tiger who wins?’ -
A: The bear, too heavy
B: Naa, the tiger, he’s too fast, too mean, tiger will rip that bear’s guts out
A: dude, bears can climb trees, swim, and track down a horse. That’s fast
B: we’ll is it a grizzly or a black bear? ‘cuz that’s important
And there it goes. I know it’s not going to happen in the US, and you can call me whatever name you want to, and even notify PETA, but I would throw down $49.99 to watch a tiger and grizzly square off. And just for the record, I got a grizzly bear over just about anything that current.
