On Edwin Valero:
It’s not often I applaud state boxing commissions, but Texas’ licensing of Edwin Valero, whatever their reasoning, is brilliant. Valero now gets to decide for himself how much personal risk he is willing to accept in the pursuit of his goals—a right every competent adult should be able to exercise.
On Mikkel Kessler:
Season Three’s David Banks got starched by Edison Miranda, but at least he got in there with him. The far more experienced Mikkel Kessler—another “real” fighter—couldn’t be enticed into a fight against Miranda, even with a contract that promised him everything but between-round foot massages. Good for Banks. Professional fighters fight.
And for some comedic relief....
On Floyd Mayweather:
No truth to the rumor Floyd Mayweather will delay a fight with Miguel Cotto until after he beats Bob Backlund, Bruno Sammartino, and Oscar De La Hoya, in that order.
