STOP HATIN’ AND SHOW SUM RESPECT!
i cant believe zab aint in your top 20 and floyd is number 4??? stop hating cause they prefer **********.com over your website...how the hell can you say margarito is a bigger fight for floyd no one knows who the f__k he is or anybody he has beaten… so please wake up and show zab some respect!!! – George
I can respond to your last statement with two words: F__k that!
The only way I’ll “wake up” and give Zab respect is if he wakes my ass up by putting Mayweather to sleep. Then I’ll be more than happy to put Brooklyn’s badass back inside my top 15 (and maybe my top 10 if I’m in a generous mood).
And please, please, PLEASE stop pretending to be Mayweather’s manager by spouting all this “Nobody knows who Antonio Margarito is” bulls__t. First of all, there’s plenty of Mexican, Mexican-American and diehard fans who know exactly who Margarito is (the best welterweight in the game). And second, even if Margarito is not known, so f__kin’ what!?
Nobody in the U.S. knew who Ayub Kalule was when Ray Leonard fought him. But that didn’t stop Leonard from stepping up in weight to take on the undefeated (36-0) WBA 154-pound champ. You know what? Leonard didn’t have an easy night with the Denmark-based Ugandan, who was stronger and better skilled than Margarito, but guess what, Georgie? That’s what makes Sugar Ray a legend. He didn’t shy away from challenges.
Nobody in the U.S. knew who Julio Cesar Vasquez was when Pernell Whitaker fought him. But that didn’t stop Sweet Pea from challenging the WBA 154-pound champ, who held a 53-1 record at the time and had made 10 title defenses (including former welterweight titlist Aaron Davis and a young undefeated Winky Wright). Do you think Whitaker, or his fans, made some big stink about his taking on a much bigger, stronger opponent? HELL NO! It wasn’t even a big deal! Whitaker wasn’t telling the media: “Who is Julio Cesar Vasquez? Nobody knows who that is. Why should I fight him? I got to get paid at least $10 million.”
S__t, man, Vasquez-Whitaker wasn’t some big PPV event. It didn’t deserve to be. It was just another night at the office for Whitaker, who got dropped early in the bout, but got up and figured the tough Argentine southpaw out on his way to another lop-sided unanimous decision win.
These junior middleweight title fights were no big f__kin’ deal to Leonard or Whitaker. They were men (not Pretty Boys), they didn’t need to hide behind their fans because A) they WANTED to challenge themselves, and B) their fans WANTED them to take on worthy challenges.
You Pretty Boys just want your hero to take safe fights so you can continue to pretend that he’s the greatest thing since Ray Robinson, just like the Roy Boys. Well, that’s bulls__t, Georgie. I don’t EVER want to hear you young suckers out there try and compare Mayweather to Leonard or Sweet Pea.
And regarding your claim that I’m “hating” because Judah and Mayweather talk to ********** and not MaxBoxing is ridiculous. I could care less. Seriously! I’ve been doing this since you were in junior high, Sparky. I’m tired of talking to fighters and hearing the same s__t over and over again. Honestly, there’s only about 10 or 15 fighters that I really care to interview and those are the ones who are honest, thoughtful and articulate. Judah and Mayweahter don’t fall into those categories – and neither do a lot of fighters that I like, personally. Hell, interviewing “my son” Edwin Valero wasn’t exactly like talking to Muhammad Ali. But that’s OK. There were managers, trainers, promoters and other fighters that I could talk to when writing features on the V-Nom. I don’t need to barf up the same old Q&A interview over and over again to write about fighters because, guess what, Georgie, I can ACTUALLY write. I don’t just transcribe taped interviews. And that last statement was not a swipe at **********, just the truth. I think ********** has its niche in the boxing world, as does *********, SecondsOut, ********, BoxingScene, ***********, TheSweetScience, BraggingRights, CyberBoxingZone, TigerBoxing, 15 Rounds, and all the other websites that cover – or attempt to cover – boxing. I visit them all because I’m a real fight fan (not a pathetic nut hugger of one or two fighters or a particular website).
I have no problem with any writer from any of the websites and when we see each other at the fights, it’s all love. Nobody has a problem with any body. Every writer that I’ve ever met from EVERY website has always approached me with respect. We shake hands and I return that respect. That’s what it is to be an adult, Georgie. That’s what it means to be a professional. If a few folks behind some of the major websites and a few message board fanatics want to act like we’re all members of gangs, where online “set-tripping” is the norm, that’s not my problem and it’s not my mentality. Never has been.
Before the internet took off in the late ‘90s and fans like myself got the bulk of their information and features from magazines I didn’t write letters to former Ring editor Bert Sugar, who went on to publish Boxing Illustrated and Fight Game, and proclaim crazy crap like “Yo, what the f__k is up, Hat!? I don’t know why you hatin’ on Mike Tyson but you better watch what you write. I guess you’re just jealous that Mighty Mike would rather talk to my man Steve ‘From the Far-hood’ and the new Ring magazine than soak up all that second-hand smoke from those smelly ass cigars of yours. Don’t hate because Farhood keeps it real and that real recognizes real! – Tha Dugzta Out.”
No, I didn’t waste my time or the time of the editors of the various magazines (and I bought them all) with angry rants. I let them have their opinions. Sometimes I agreed, sometimes I didn’t, but I always read what they had to say and I’m a more knowledgeable boxing fan because of it.
