I made plans with Nunn ahead of time to call me at a designated time so I could surprise former opponents Iran Barkley (world 160 title) and Dennis Milton (1983 USA Sports Festival) with conversations with Michael...in the background you can see the likes of former amateur stars Irish Micky Ward, Lionell Odom, Poison Junior Jones and others...

That's nice and all but it's time to stop living in the past. That's the problem with boxing. Everybody is focused on the past. Let's talk about the current and future of boxing. The NBA talks about Durant,Curry, Westbrook, James etc. You don't see ESPN constantly talking about Magic, Bird, or Jordan.

I appreciate you tuning in, watching the video, AND taking the time to CONTRIBUTE to a discussion about the past...that happened 24 hours ago, by the way...you know it would be MUCH easier if you do like everyone else has been doing on this site since the beginning of time...they watch and reply to stuff they like, they ignore and move on from stuff they don't like.

Great to see Iran is doing well. Looks like a great time with all the fighters.

Yeah, the Blade has been doing good, seeing him around at different shows etc. Dennis Milton, too...Dennis had super potential coming out of the amateurs (he beat McClellan in the pros, too)...

Bruh, a lot of us here grew on those dudes. Nothing wrong with hearing a word from them every now and then.

And while ESPN may not speak of Magic or Jordan constantly (they do though), they are the standard by which the Durants, LeBrons, Curry's, etc. are measured and those huge NBA TV contracts and paychecks wouldn't exist WITHOUT them. That should be respected.

To the OP, thanks for the vid.

EXACTLY...if you're a boxing fan and this doesn't intrigue you, then something is WRONG...
