The only thing boxing gets exposure over is when Mike Tyson gropes or smacks women or when a boxer is in critical condition....They can mention that the Spurs win the championship but they cant mention Olympic Bronze medalist dethroning Bernard Hopkins who was the longest reigning middleweight champion EVER!....Yeah it is getting a bad rap....
The saying usually goes, Any press is good press but not in the case of boxing.
Ya it trully sucks! My teacher used to tell me boxing was one of the tops sports when he was growing up in the 1950s familys would sit around the radios and black and whites on friday just to watch or listen to the fight, he said it was sorta a family bonding event.
Now it lacked its luster mainly due to ppv I believe thanks don king for taking boxing off of mainstream tv! so you can benifit for yourself.
I still believe if fighters fought on abc, and nbc like the 70s and 80's they would get more sponsors and exposure.
How good are you with Mitts?
That is great news to hear man. Do you think boxing is getting a worse and worse rap? Alot of people I talk to say boxing is disgusting and savage. Just last week people were talking about a fight they never saw the levander johnson fight cause it was in the newspaper front page, it seems boxing only gets front sports billing when it is tyson, or something devastating like with brian viloria hurting ruben conteras and levander johnson almost dying.

I dont see myself fighting again for several reasons, none of what are that I don't think I could still do it. I still spar quite often and I am able to do ten rounds easily, even easier than when I was younger. Experience is a beautiful thing. Just in the last 2 years I have sparred with guys like Pemberton, Manfredo, Ahmed Kaddour, Richie Lamontagne, Lonne Bradley, etc etc. I am comfortable training fighters and have had good success... I also have been training amateurs since 1993 and am building up local teams again... add that to a 9 month old daughter and it's a lot on my plate. I will keep sparring until I am no longer able, though. I did six last night, 3 with a heavyweight and 3 wtih a middleweight. Feel good.

cool thanx for that....its a great forum he has opened up here. And good to see he really fought the best!! I think RJJ is one of the greatest boxers of all time - wat is iceman's opinion given he fought him and other top contenders?
hmm
Iceman John Scully is the man who started this thread. He was a successful 168 lbs fighter back in the 90's. He had a close fight with p4p star Michael Nunn (some say he was robbed) and he fought other very notable fighters of the time such as Graciano R., and others I can't remember at the moment. He was a good, big, and powerful pressure fighter. He trains now and hopefully STAYS retired! Had a good career.
Listen dipshit, I was fucking around, I had no idea you would buy it hook line and sinker, cmon your smarter than that.
Now, who gives a shit iof you worked for Magic, does thaqt mean you know who he is fucking, how many people know who their boss is banging.
Go back and reread our dialogue, then smack yourself in the face for falling for my bullshit, I never I repeat never intended you to buy the line, it was meant as a joke, man Hectari...dumb!
Your the dumb one. Cuase you straight up act like you did nothing stupid. You just made yourself look real ignorant making up a story about a person you have no idea who is like in person, and I do! You just made yourself look dumb for even making such a pathetic lame joke. Dont ruin the Icemans thread.

I dont get what your trying to say hahaah?
I just think its BS cause Magic Johnson was my boss for a while I worked at the starbucks he owned, and he is very cool guy I have talked to him about 7 times he came by often I worked at the starbucks in Commerce Atlantic & Washington. I dont believe that kinda stuff your sister seems like a gossiper and not saying anything against your sister but most girls like that are not stand up people or trustworthy. Maybe she did but I just think your sister is lacking upstairs to sex a guy with aids is all.

LMAO are you serious about magic? Dude is your sister for real? I doubt it because magic would get a lawsuit witht he quickness. He is worth alot of money and no girl is dumb enough to fuck magic johnson knowning he has aids even with protection unless she has aids herself.

I tell you what, I will talk to Lamar real soon and see if he is up to it, OK ? I cant promise anything
ICE
Cool hope you get in contact with him.
Oh ya It was good seeing you on espn working the corner of Lawrence Clay Bey. Do you have any other fighters you train any amatuers on the up and up? Also is it easier training lighter weight fighters then heavy's, I say this cause some guy was saying on an interenet radio show that heavy weights are not as disciplined since they dont have to make a certain weight.
