    Comments Thread For: ESPN's Ring Resurgence Prompts Top Rank Nostalgia

    By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Years ago, it was must-see TV.

        Bob is a genius and Manny is a machine, both are still at the elite level. The difference is the full contact... and for that reason I would like to see Manny walk away from it.

          That was a great read, great article. The art of story telling done correctly is a journey, the writer takes you on a trip. It felt like I was there, even for just a moment.

          Thanks for the trip.
