Quote of Note
Past the Point of Caring
“The Pac-Floyd fight will never happen, i called this after the first talks broke down what, almost two years ago now.. Honestly, i don't even care if it does happen now…Flloyd will be 35 and way away from his best and Manny will be what 33 and already looks to be slowing down a bit since the Cotto fight. Sad..
All praise and respect to Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard, and all those who fought each other and challenged themselves by fighting the best.” –TSS reader Amayseng longs for the goold old days
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
