Disgrace he's not in the hall of Fame ,winning 5 world titles and the best comeback in sports history,watch the movie, bleed for this, absolute great movie
Had a millennial boxing fan(genius) today tell me I know nothing about boxing.Told me fighters today spar more than they used to so they don’t fight as much. Salvador Sanchez sparred 220 rounds for his bout with Gomez. I’ll bet the house it’s more than Haney,Garcia sparred all yr
R.I.P to the greatest champion in the history of sports. 🙌🏻
I’ll miss #6.
Know what’d be a treat for me? Instead of seeing a dad holding hand pads for his boy or girl to practice patty-cake choreography, rather showing them how to move in and out, side to side, shortening their leg spread and stay on the balls of their feet, etc. TEACH boxing stuff.

“ To a degree,but what about the fights that are freak shows? I saw 2 little 110 pounders and all they did was stand toe to toe and wing punches like they were out behind a liquor store fighting on broken glass.” —F.X Toole.
