THE BOXING GODS MUST BE CRAZY
Whatup big Doug?
Boxing has lost its mind. Two weeks ago the biggest fight in boxing history was practically done. The fight blows up when everyone involved gets in a "who's got the bigger d__k" contest, much of it centering around peripheral players who know more about c__k rings than boxing rings.
I remember when proving you were tough meant proving it in the ring, not in the press. It sucks that it isn't happening, but at least Pac had the dangling marbles to agree to fight a dangerous foe. Shockingly, Pink is planning to trot out a smaller fighter as his next opponent, in order to retain his position of pretend dominance. Bart Barry said it best....."I can't believe we once called this guy the Welterweight Champion of the World." It's funny that the world is ready to believe that Pac is dirty, based on no evidence whatsoever, but a huge cross stitch of boxing fans refuse to believe that Pink is a ginormous snootch, even though there is eight years of hard evidence to support that stance. P-Will is the Welterweight Champion of the World, and, of the huge group of welters that is afraid to fight him, Shane has proven himself to be the best.
When did Paulie Malinaggi become relevant? So Paulie thinks Pac is on roids. Of course he does. What is he supposed to think after Pac brutally ko'd a fighter that mastered Paulie? Pac is a 106 pounder that has learned to knock out welters. Paulie is a welter who cant knock out 106 pounders. This is a lot like Bobby Czyz talking about Julio Cesar Chavez, and it bears repeating one of boxing golden rules... average fighters should not comment on great fighters.
Today I wake up to the news that Hopkins vs Jones is signed? What? Do the powers that be really believe that anyone wants to see this fight? I suspect that the sales of Geritol and prune juice are going to ****e in their respective home towns. I would rather make soup out of Gary Shaw’s underwear than be forced to watch this fight!
Last year it seemed that boxing had learned some hard lessons concerning it's competition, the economy, and the marketplace, which left me feeling good about boxing’s general direction in the upcoming year. Yet, here we are, in the first month of the new year, and already a fight everyone wants to see is in shambles, and a fight nobody wants to see is being pushed down our throats. When did boxing become a sellers market? When will Golden Boy learn how to promote? When will Floyd fight a fighter in his respective weight class?
Love, Peace, and Hair Grease my friend. -- Kirk
