remember a journalist or two was mocking Guerrero at sending out daily spam press releases about wanting to fight Floyd a few years ago

Any attention is good attention, you can't afford to stay quiet and do nothing in this day and age. People will forget about you like *snaps finger*

Your voice must be heard :hmm:

Mayorga can't speak a lick of English, but it didn't matter, I don't wanna hear any excuses in 2013...even if you're going through promotional problems, you must stay relevant through any means necessary

Are you referring to the backhanded Leonard-Haggler shenanigans?

Yeah Leonard basically got his way with everything because Hagler was so desperate to fight him. Dundee couldn't believe it.

Sorcery at Caesar is a great book, I recommend it to every boxing fan

Omar Narvaez Faces Hiroyuki Hisataka on August 24th - Boxing News
By Nicolas Samuilov

According to promoter Osvaldo Rivero, the super flyweight world champion of the World Boxing Organization (WBO), Omar "El Huracan" Narvaez will make the eight defense of his title against Japanese challenger Hiroyuki Hisataka (22-10, 10KOs) on Saturday August 24 at a venue to be decided, but within the province of Chubut, Argentina, and televised by TyCSports to Argentina and much of America. Narvaez (39-1-2, 20 KOs) made 16 successful defenses of his WBO flyweight title before moving up in weight. In his last fight, Hisataka scored an upset ten round unanimous decision over former champion Sonny Boy Jaro in April. In 2010 he scored another upset, a seventh round stoppage of 28-0 Panomroonglek Kaiyanghadaogym. Hisataka has only been stopped once, in his 2002 pro debut.

Navaez is ripe to be upset, hell Orcuta beat him in my eyes but we shall see...

"You aint neva told no lie, You aint neva told no lie" :heh:


I still maintain that Roy Jones Jr is the greatest boxer Ive ever seen actively compete in the sport.
