One Take: Manny-Money Wouldn't Be One-Sided
“I'm not convinced that Pacman beats Floyd just because Cotto gave him a tough fight. If Pac and Floyd ever do fight, and that's a big if, they would both land punches to the other's chin. It might come down to who takes the better shot. It would not be a one sided fight by any means. They both could win, it's a toss up. That's why we all want to see it. Don't know if we ever will see the fight though, time is running out. Great fight on May 5. I don't regret spending $70.” —the Roast saw his money well spent on May 5
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
