Boxers who are M.I.A

[ßringer]

Roberto Benitez the Dominican from New York, he just dissapeared from the boxingscene, hasn't boxed since 2006

I searched for him online just now, the most recent news is that he was featured in a March 2008 article of Latina Magazine. Couldn't dig up any news on fights though. It's hard to find news on prospects.

He's waiting for Simon to get out of jail for a rematch! Actually, come to think of it... I think he got out earlier in the year or something.

Not really, well... I don't think so at least. He's probably trying to figure out a low risk high reward fight for himself now that his options are becoming more limited and he doesn't have many fights left in 'em.

The sad part is he's waiting too long. I know he doesn't have much left in the tank, but he still has something, probably one or two good fights. If he keeps waiting like he is he'll end up with nothing on the sidelines watching everybody else fight.

I'd hit it. Jin is the quentissential hot *****. Amazingly good looking, but everytime she opens her mouth you want to punch her. Every girl has a close friend exactly like her, you just want to tie them up and duct tape their mouth shut and **** them into a coma.

you just described my girlfriend.




In regards to Joe Mesi, I read an article he's runnin for senate.


Meet Joe Mesi, Candidate For New York State Senate
Apr 16, 2008 at 20:55:30 PM EDT


Today I had the opportunity to sit down with professional boxer and (more importantly here) ********ic candidate for New York State Senate Joe Mesi.

Mesi enters the race in New York's 61st Senate District with instant name recognition. As a boxer, Mesi compiled a 36-0 record in the heavyweight division and was at one-time the number one contender in the world.

While Mesi is well known for his boxing career, he recently made the decision to take a shot at politics. On April 5, Mesi officially entered the race bringing the total of declared candidates in the 61st to four. Erie County Legislator Michele Iannello, whom I have interviewed earlier this month and Town of Amherst councilman Dan Ward are also in this race along with Town of Amherst councilman Mark Manna.

Mesi hails from Tonawanda and now resides in Amherst. He said that living in Amherst has given him insight into one particular issue: Taxes. As a taxpayer himself, he knows the burden that taxes can have. That is one of the reasons why he wants to go to Albany and fight for the people of the 61st.

But there is more to Mesi than just boxing and high taxes in the district. In the interview with Mesi, he brought up several issues and made his case for why he should be the ********ic nominee in the 61st and why he will be an effective senator, if elected, in Albany.

This thread is to discuss fighters whom you haven't heard any news about recently, and for others to post what they've heard, read, or seen about that particular fighter.

I'll start it off: Ricardo Mayorga. Haven't heard anything about his plans after the Vargas fight, and I really want to see him fight again. Sure he's not the best boxer out there but he's consistently funny, has a lot of balls, and I'd pay to watch him fight damn near anybody.

MIA??
Floyd Mayweather the so called P4p GREATEST LIVING FIGHTER.
Why isn't he proving himself against serious opposition?
Even if you are a Floyd fan how can you validate the fact he has not fought anyone in the top 10 at WW?
A true fan of boxing or Floyd should question why Floyd isn't fighting his contenders.

I wouldn't say Floyd is M.I.A. 5 months ago he knocked out the best 140lbs fighter in the world. But I agree he shouldn't be fighting guys in lower (Hatton) weight classes and higher (Oscar) weight classes, but he should be focusing his attention on the weight class he has chosen for himself. That or move out of it and let the other guys go for the top spot.

It's pretty much a guarantee Floyd won't do anything until September.
