            In the mid-1990’s, boxing pundits and fans alike lauded the class of Welterweights inhabiting the division at the time as being part of a return to the “Golden Age”. The ”Golden Age” most were referring to was the Middleweight class of the Mid-1980’s. Back then, the Middleweight division was loaded with talented fighters like Marvin Hagler, Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran. Fast-forward ten years and the Welterweight division was home to fighters like Felix Trinidad, Oscar de la Hoya, Ike Quartey and Pernell Whitaker.

            But there were other less popular and probably less talented fighters that dwelt just below the top tier of the 90’s “Golden Age”. Fighters that, given a lucky break or a little more focus may have ended up in the same class as De la Hoya and Trinidad. Namely fighters like Oba Carr, Ramon “Yory Boy” Campas and Jose Luis Lopez. Carr earned several title shots and each time fell just short. Campas was a devastating puncher but proved too slow to compete against De la Hoya and simply came along at the wrong time to beat a prime Felix Trinidad. [details]
            jmm is nothing without pacquiao. if jmm somehow cleans out 135 then he will have built his own legacy, but as for now his claim to fame is having close fights with pac.

                    i know sometimes guys got friends and theyre so comfortable with each other that they do gay **** as "jokes" (according to them)
                    but wtf
                    that loooked like heres me n my guy blah
                    here we are blah blah
                    omg
                    hes still one bad ass fighter
                    but DUDE
                    WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

                    and he always has had the sorta demeanor to him
                    I dont know if the asian guy is a korean, but if he is then i think its a normal act for them showing friendship. Most korean guys usually have that kind intimacy among close friends. Its more a tradition thing. No malice whatsoever as far as i know of.
