By Eric Coronado Jr: Henry David Thoreau once wrote, “At present our only true names are nicknames… Some travelers tell us that an Indian had no name given him at first, but earned it, and his name was his fame; and among some tribes he acquired a new name with every new exploit. It is pitiful when a man bears a name for convenience merely, who has earned neither name nor fame.”
By Allan Fox: Roy Jones Jr. says he sees himself as the greatest fighter pound-for-pound for all time, better than Sugar Ray Robinson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. The 49-year-old Jones Jr. (65-9, 47 KOs) is supposedly wrapping up his career and going into retirement after his fight this Saturday night against journeyman Scott Sigmon (30-11-1, 16 KOs) in a fight for the vacant World Boxing Union cruiserweight title.
By Robert “Big Moe” Elmore: When I was courting my beautiful wife, I had two things in mind. Of course I wanted to her to yes to my proposal. Two, more than anything I wanted her to trust me. I was able to accomplish both and now our trust grown beyond measure. We trust each other with our lives that’s, we don’t do things behind each other backs, we are up front and honest with other, and all these things have made our marriage very strong. But one huge misstep can tear it all down.
This is the type of relationship a fighter needs for him to succeed. There have been many in the game that has had/have great teams while others weren’t as fortunate. The object of a great team is to make sure the fighter feels comfortable so he can concentrate on what he does best.
By Chris Williams: The other day, Floyd Mayweather Jr. told ESPN that he saw himself as a better fighter than Sugar Ray Robinson (173-19-6, 108 KOs) and Muhammad Ali (56-5, 37 KOs), both of which suffered a fair amount of defeats during their respective careers.
Not surprisingly, Mayweather took some criticism from boxing fans because many of them hold a great deal of respect for Robinson and Ali. However, Mayweather was just telling it like it is by telling the truth about his skills compared to those fighters.
In the meantime, Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum has come out and given his view on the subject, and he thinks it’s a joke for Mayweather to compare himself to those fighters.
By Chris Williams: For a lot of people they see former WBA/WBC heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali (56-5, 37 KOs) and former two division world champion Sugar Ray Robinson (173-19-6, 108 KOs) as the greatest fighters that ever lived.
Those guys were certainly good, but they came from a different era and both of them tended to get hit a lot, and they both were beaten many times during their careers. WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KOs) doesn’t believe for a second that Ali and Robinson were better than him.
