im curious if/when ronald hearns is gonna throw his name into this mix. hes already 28 or 29 i think so he should probably get a move on

Ryan my man, you shouldn't be upset that Duddy is making more than Lee. When it all boils down to it, athletes are entertainers, and Duddy has been a better "entertainer" than Lee has. Its all about marketing my man, soon Lee will surpass, but at the moment it's all Duddy. I can sit back and tell you about so many guys that look great in the gym and in sparring, but once the fluff comes off and it's real punches flying, guys freeze or they can't take the same lick. I will say this though, Manny told me about Lee before the Klitschko/Byrd fight and said the kid was special, and I don't think Manny has lost his ability to judge talent yet. Some do, Angelo Dundee told a firend of mine and myself about how Roman Greenburg was a future great heavyweight. After seeing him a few times, I can't agree with ol' Angelo. I like Lee, he is a big kid and has power in both hands; plus more skill than many. However, its the reaction to adversity that makes one a champion, and Pavlik has responded superbly while being punched in the head and like someone else said, it is hard as hell to break his rhythm, and that is HUGE!!!

[MELLY-MEL...]

i want to see him in with some better opposition and than i will make a judgement! he is good, and seems to have alot of potential, but let him step up his comp 1st

You're the bad sports fan. "Star qualities"????? What the **** are you talking about? Please stop watching ESPN.

what r u talking about... he has ALL the star qualities.

good looks, charisma, great personality, all action and heart int he ring.. THATS WHAT MAKES A STAR IN THE RING, in case you somehow havent noticed that by now... thats what we who know what we are talking about call "star qualities"

the reason he has all that power in his lead hand is because he is right handed. isnt that crazy????? a right hander that fights that well as a southpaw?? andy lee is the future of boxing. i would love to see him sparring with cintron in their kronk sessions. manny said watching them gets him and everyone else excited. they sometimes have to be told to back off some, cuz they get too intense.

In the three fights I've seen of him, he looks very solid. I think he's going to be great. I dont know about bringing him up so quick though. I mean Pavlik next year? Abraham is another tough guy. He should fight some top 10 guys first.

To be honest, with Lee's power and range, coupled with Cintron being much smaller and a bit chinny; I would ASSUME that Lee would destroy him in sparring. But it's been a bit since I've talked to Manny about anyone other than Banks or Klitschko. I like Cintron, the kid comes to fight, but I will say Joshua Clottey will destroy him on the inside. if Feliciano had that much success on the inside, imagine what the Hitter can do?

And Duddy has more star qualities, AND he gives the fans their money's worth every single time out. He deserved these paydays, and at this point in time, most certainly deserves more pay then Lee.

Lee will be making much much more money in a few years anyways if he's brought along correctly.

And getting knocked out in early '09 by one the Middleweight champs is NOT being brought along correctly

Cause he gets hit way too much and was run ragged by Yory Boy Campas.

haha..looking like Bird at the end of the '87 3-point shootout with that knockout.
