Quote of Note
History Won't See Floyd As A Mystery
“There are things about Mayweather Jr. I will never understand. Not wanting to fight Oscar again, not fighting Pacquiao two years ago, feeling a need to have a few pound weight advantage over Marquez. I sometimes get the feeling that Floyd doesn't realize how great he really is. The shame is, and mark my words, history will talk him down the all-time list, not up it. In the make believe world of P-4-P, I'm 1,000,000% sure history will not be kind to Floyd the Younger. Change that. 2,000,000.” —Dino D says that Floyd's legacy will erode as time goes on
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
