Quote of Note
Thanks for the Memories, Hitman
“Ricky looked like a shell of his former self, fighting from the heart but looking like a mere breeze could knock him over. From what little I saw, Ricky threw himself into the maelstrom trying to be competitive even though it was evident his youth had left the building 3.5 years ago. Don't apologize, Ricky. None needed. Just go into the next phase, which is to promote the next Hatton. The appreciation of the Manchester crowd showed was almost tear jerking; if that isn't enough for you, nothing will ever do. Get out Ricky…..while you still have your wits about you and transistion to the next level. Thanks for all the memories.” –Brown Sugar echoes Roast's call to exit and stay away
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
