I had a guy tell me one time thst he watches a lot of boxing and one of the biggest fights that he feels that "we missed out on was Hagler against Tyson."
These are the people we have to deal with.
#BOXING
Only my second time seeing Gerald in person since
@SugarRayLeonard
training camp back in 1988 (in Detroit on Saturday )…as you may know, the champ requires 24 hour care for life which is given by his sister Lisa…any donations are EXTREMELY welcome and appreciated!
It IS what it IS. Nooooo disrespect BUT Clarrisa Sheilds "undisputed titles" in NO way EVER should be compared or mentioned alongside Hagler's or Leonard's UNDISPUTED titles. I don't care WHO thinks otherwise. It's a crime against boxing to think they are some comparable!!!!
HOW can a trainer who had his fighters beat Hearns, Toney, Barkley, Duran twice!!, Tyson, Briscoe and undefeated Mugabi and take a guy literally from his 1st day in the gym as a kid all the way up to one of the greatest Hall of Fame careers ever NOT be in the Boxing Hall of Fame?
Larry Holmes better go somewhere with trying to tell people he took it easy and held back on Ali in 1980...STOP IT...WATCH the fight. There were times he was RIPPING VICIOUS shots trying to crush Ali...always been jealous, u can hear it in him on video many times.
I come from a people who can name the guy with half his face blocked out right behind Marvelous Marvin Hagler. There is a certain segment of the population on Earth who can instantly tell you who that guy is and I'm definitely one of them.
Are you?
The trend continues. The days of a father bringing his boxing loving sons to watch fights in Las Vegas are over with. No one can afford these prices. XXXX THESE GUYS
I cant believe u guys want to see Mayweather-McGregor II. I have still NOT watched their first fight. NO INTEREST IN IT, even on YouTube. WHY DO U WANT TO SEE A REMATCH???????
I come from a people who know EXACTLY who these two are and what happened here and when…and if u don’t know within 0.0002 seconds that we may not be able to really relate…
@FloydMayweather
I’m not able to reach you through private messenger so I have to tweet. I’ll be in Vegas soon. Is there any way you could sign this for me to auction off to raise big money for Prichard Colon, Gerald McClellan & Wilfred Benitez??????
I do not associate with people who cannot glance at this picture and know immediately who the two fighters are and what the date was and what city they were in and what arena they competed against each other in and who the referee was just based on the trunks they are wearing...
We have "world champions" who never fight more than 10 miles from where they live.
Ali fought in Puerto Rico, Canada, Phillipines, Africa, Japan, Ireland, England, Germany...
WORLD Champion...
Marlon Starling beat:
Lloyd Honeyghan
Mark Breland (undefeated)
Kevin Howard
Tommy Ayers (undefeated)
Jose Baret (undefeated)
Mayweather Sr (twice)
Lupe Aquino
Simon Brown (undefeated)
Pedro Vilella
AND HE’S NOT EVEN ON THE HALL OF FAME BALLOT
Imagine if someone took $1 million out of Ryan Garcia‘s fine for not making weight and put it into a fund to use to help with bills and groceries for people like Gerald McClellan Pritchard Colon and Wilfred Benitez??????????

@boxingscene
Between November 1979 and September 1981…22 months …Sugar Ray Leonard beat Wilfred Benitez, Roberto Duran and Tommy Hearns (15 round fights)
I’d say no one else in a 22 month span beat the level of a prime Benitez, Duran and Hearns. Can you think of any?
I dont care how good Pac looked.
I dont care if he could even beat Floyd now.
If you suckers pay for a rematch between those 2 Im gonna unfriend and block u from Facebook and delete all ur phone numbers and pretend I dont even know you when I see u on the street
@dougiefischer
Haney and Fury dad’s are further proof that “little league dads” should be illegal… they can’t handle the spotlight, they live vicariously through their sons and they are an embarrassment to our sport, to each and every one of us…
STOP showing videos of a 6-yr-old kid hitting the mitts and then commenting how he's going to be in the Olympics and a future world championloop
I could show you 500 kids looking ten times better than he does and they probably won't even turn pro.
If you pay to watch Manny Paquiou vs
Conor McGregor I'm unfriending you...and if you come on here telling me that McGregor is in better shape and is the harder puncher then I'm BANNING you lolol
This is one of the problems within our sport. We allow these buffoon clowns to infiltrate it and in part represent us. An embarrassment to the sports world
Boxers Reunion/Times Square yesterday. Tom Patti (Catskill) and Farrod Pinchback (Brooklyn) fought 37 YEARS ago-Empire State Games in New York in the finals. Yesterday they met each other yesterday for the first time since. Farrod, the gold medalist, cried like a baby!!
After meeting and interacting in person with Shields I am literally shocked that she had the nerve to say this about ANYONE else. She needs to look DEEP into a mirror
There is a HUGE difference between a BOXING “expert” who can tell you the date and history behind every fight and the expert who can teach you the intricacies of boxing techniques…
Boxing business is INSANE...imagine not being able to get a fight with a guy UNLESS you signed a deal going forward with the person who gives it to you?
Shouldn’t be a sticking point for more than a day. “No, thank you, we, Team Canelo, are happy as we are. There will be no signing of a multi fight deal with you, PBC. No offense, of course, but let’s make this fight and go from there.”
Ayala was a RAPIST... if he raped your 17 year old daughter would you want to see me on here defending him? Come on now. We all make "mistakes" but we don't all RAPE people. That is not a mistake. Seriously. That is not a mistake. A mistake is spelling LOOSE instead of LOSE.
You’ll NEVER see this again. James Toney scores HUGE upset over Michael Nunn, then defends vs Reggie Johnson ONE MONTH LATER. Finishes the year with SIX fights!!!!!!!
Telling TOMMY HEARNS that I’m gonna tell Wilfred Benitez’ sister he signed the belt to help raise money to help him
@rkmatchmaker
@dougiefischer
Ali: Im gonna' beat George Foreman and you're gonna' beat cancer."
Kid: "No, champ, I'm gonna' meet GOD and when I do I'm going to tell him I know you."
Whenever I watch the video with Gene Kilroy telling the story I was find myself losing it just a little bit.
It's very strange that Terry Norris is not frequently talked about today. He was an unbelievable fighter with bravery out of this world and almost unmatched skill
Loma-Rigo may be a disappointment. They both have skills-reflexes that are gonna kind of cancel each other out. They are both probably going to miss more than either has ever before and the winner is going to have to push himself more than he ever has to overcome the style issue.
Jamaine wasn’t busy enough????? He needed to throw more punches?????????
Ummmm….you DO know he threw almost 50 more punches than Teofimo Lopez, right??
Panama was WAS EVIL in what he did to Billy Collins. I'm amazed there are boxing people touting him today when the fact is that this act resulted in the crushing of a soul, spirit and life.
Billy's death IS PANAMA'S FAULT.
#HeWasAnEnemyOfBoxing
!!
Roy Jones father (Big Roy) once told me he has footage of Roy and Ray Leonard sparring with each other back in the day but that he literally doesn’t know where in the house the tape actually is ha ha I told him I dont think he understands how badly people would love to see that
Yaqui Lopez signed the WBC belt today, Jeff Chandler, Little Red Lopez and Carlos Zarate signed it yesterday. Added to BETERBIEV, David Lemieux, Marlon Starling, Otis and Howard Grant, Micky Ward and Jean Pascal!!
I only deal with people who know exactly who these two guys are, what round they were in, where the fight took place and what the date was instantly off the top of their heads…
Ken Norton said that when he woke up out of a coma after his car accident the first thing he saw was Muhammad Ali by his bedside doing magic tricks for him...
Shout out to the 132 people who always JUMP UP as soon as the lane lands, like it’s a race to see who gets to stand there for 12 minutes without moving even one foot
Kid out of the Olympics, signs with a top promoter and beats 15 guys in a row and he will be ranked in the top 20 in the world by a major sanction body.
Take another guy out of Idaho, no promoter, he beats THE SAME 15 guys, he won't be ranked in the top 50 ANYWHERE
I don't care what anyone says. Having Sugar Ray Leonard say something positive about me as a boxer is one of the greatest compliments I've ever received in my life
