from the criminal mindset (that I seem to have) he just did it too many times. If he had stopped at five he probably would still be okay but he just couldn't. The hubris takes over and he thought he was unstoppable. Like Al Capone, or Tony Soprano, they just had to have ONE MORE TASTE (like all addicts) and it began to look wonky-him winning all seven titles even AFTER having cancer. He was addicted to the fame and the game. Criminals like him get caught because they just have to have one more, like a junkie with coke or similar.
