      Funny thing about that 96 team was when Vargas said he idolized De La Hoya, man he went from looking up to Oscar to hating him.

      Also last class I really cared about was the one with Brian Viloria I think it was the 2000 games, he was called the Hawaiian punch and had a baby peach fuzz mustache on lol. And Jermain Taylor was on the team too.


      the last Olympic boxer i gave a **** about after they turned pro was Ward...i didn't even realize that Wilder was an Olympian til someone mentioned it...i stopped caring about the ams many years ago

        I found out about Floyd when he fought Manfredy. See, Angel used to come out to the Gary P.A.L gym in Gary, Indiana and watch some of us train and spar, he was like the hero around that time. We got to watch him train and he let us know who he was fighting and I remember thinking, The big homie Angel gon fuck em up........been a Mayweather fan ever since lol

        The first time I saw Manny was on the Tyson/Lewis bill, I didn't start paying attention until the 2nd Marquez fight.
