Pacman Is Ripe For The Taking
Regarding Pacquiao's chin…A heart may be repairable but a chin has a fixed resistance, heightened only by adrenalin. And that goes for Floyd as well because he was rocked hard too (although he survived ) neither one of them could withstand similar punishment consistently. If they stick around very much longer, they will both suffer the fate reserved for those who tarry too long in the game of thrones. Although I'd say Pac is more ripe for the taking. And Rios, he hits harder than Marquez… —Brown Sugar wonders if the Pacman chin is irrevocably cracked
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
