wish babybull all the best

Good luck to the baby bull. Was always an entertaining fighter, had a good career. Deserves nothing but respect from this sport.

I echo these words, really enjoyed his fights with JMM and his fight against Katsidis.

an exciting fighter and a role model outside as well as inside the ring.

Good luck to him.

This fool came from poverty and used boxing to land him at an ivy league school. He worked hard in and out of the ring, and because of that he got into the highest of highs you can get into in America. A place usually reserved for the children of millionaires and elites. Diaz did it with his head and his hands.

Unlike some average joe blow talking smack about him on the internet, Diaz is actually going to have an impact on people's lives. He wont need to come back to boxing because boxing didn't use him, he used boxing.

Great post!

Hate to say it, but UMass-Dartmouth is not the same as the Ivy League Dartmouth. They are not even in the same state.

UMass-Dartmouth's law school is formerly the Southern New England School of Law which was not even accredited by the American Bar Association (basically, the only nationally recognized accreditation).

Dont know if UMass-Dartmouth will ultimately have an ABA accredited law school, but it shows that this is a bottom tier school.

Not knocking Diaz, but the facts are the facts and should be stated correctly.

I agree wit mos of this article, except that Martinez has had the harder opposition imo.
1-Froch had no choice, he entered a round robin tourney, W/O the tourney I doubt he would have fought those guys by choice in a row
2- He fought alot of those guys in Europe, Martinez has not fought ANYONE in Argentina or Spain
3-Froch lost to Kessler AND Johnson(IMO) while Martinez draw to Cintron, and loss to Williams were both non-sense or an error in scoring, as Martinez it put it modestly. So Martinez is 6-0 to Top opposition, while Froch is 4-2, and with all due respect non of the guys Froch beat were ever the most feared men in boxing or top 5 P4P, Ward will be the test to gauge Froch, and I don't think Froch will win that one either.
