what a a$$hole thing to say on a congratulation thread. If you don't care then why did you click on the link. You seem like a jealous hater.

"why do everyone hate tim so damn much?" He didnt have the physique they liked looking at. A 6'8 guy knocking people out, but not appeasing closet-cases,

Tim, could have chosen any path once he lost his belt and no longer was fighting in the big promotions. He could have given up fighting and training altogether because of the hate. But rather, he made the choice to continue training, to learn more and to continue improving. Nobody stays the Champion forever and Tim gets my respect for continuing to train hard. Purple belt is a big deal. Congrats to Tim.

LOL @ that last fight of his. Literally the worst fight I've seen in years. He didn't do JACK SHIT except push that poor guy against the fence.
