Jermain and The Kronk....

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

I'm sorry to say I have to disagree with you. You tell me when you got a line of dudes waiting to take a piece of your ass home your gonna be willing to come back the next day. I think thats what he means people don't last long at Kronk.

Listen... that's not what he means because what you described is what would happen at any gym in the world. He is saying KRONK in particular because of its long history. Saying a lot of guys don't make it through Kronk... saying that now in 2007 is kind of odd. It's not the gym it is the people IN the gym and the Kronkof today is like the Steelers of today compared to 1978

well back then the same could be said about hearns and co.....they were just coming up as well........the same regime remains.......i dont discredit him for saying that...........

Doesnt Manny keep the heat cranked up to 99 in the gym?

[juancho]

i know you talkin bout the one in detroit but is it true that every fighter manny trained at pocanos never lost their fight?

There is a first for everything. Jermain is getting fisted tonight.

Listen.... if you even attempt to compare the Kronk from the early 1980's to today then you obviously have no real knowledge of the situation. And my only point here is that it is very unusual for a guy like Jermain to say that a lot of people dont make it through Kronk in this day and age because if someone doesnt make it then there are obviously not world class professionals. If there was a time when even a good pro might have trouble making it through that gym it was 20 years ago, not now

I think even if he said that 20 years ago it still wouldn't have made sense. My question is, WHO hasn't made it through Kronk?

As dumb as it is, whatever Taylor has to tell himself is fine with me. He trained in the Poconos anyway. His main sparring partners were Andy Lee (who's a southpaw) and maybe Jonathan Banks?

[shawn_]

If I recall correctly weren't they saying these same things about Jermain training at home in Arkansas?

Oh he gets to sleep in his own bed, he gets more rest, all of his friends keep all the bad influences away from him, he can focus better, blah blah blah?

Now he is like, oh I survived the Kronk, and trained in the Poconos.

Hate the break it to you Jermain, but I think Kelly Pavlik is gonna be tougher than the Kronk.
