Yeah, enjoyed watching him fight though, bit of flair, it was good.
He was pretty much the first sportsman to use advertising and media to really intimidate the opposition.
There was an excellent advert running before he went to america to fight someone or other and subsequently cream him.
A tactic Woods used so effectively with noike to portray him as somehow next level when in fact his stats weren't actually all that.
The effect being that many players on the USPGA bought into it and choked when going head to head with him.
Shame really, just glad they're seeing through it these days.
