Breadman be saying anything
I see a lot of people longing for the glory days of ESPN…I agree but stop blaming the network. Many of YOU bought into exactly what it is today!! In fact, what sports overall has become…a bunch of arguing, hot takes & debate. These networks look at ratings (cont)
I dunno how ESPN lets Karl Ravech go ... 33 years of being a pros pro, at the same place, used to mean something. The people who once set the standard are being replaced by performative, shrieking, know it alls, engagement farming and praying for viral soundbites.
@PeltzBoxing Amazing
@BlindLuck137496 @ringmagazine @LeeGrovesBoxing @SmittyBoxing @loudibella @ClonesCyclone @dougiefischer @directkicksTV @BruceTrampler @SteveKim323 What I find fascinating about guys from back then is how many times they fought the same guy. And somtimes very little time between bouts. Remarkable in my opinion
Who agrees with this cover ??
@PeltzBoxing Understood, In consideration that @WBABoxing and @WBCBoxing was the most prestigious WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in the history of the all recognitions in professional sports , still holds legacy and weight in modern boxing. Unfortunately regional titles have confused the casual public
Emile Griffith retained the WBC and WBA middleweight titles #OnThisDay in 1966 with a 15-round majority decision victory over Joey Archer at Madison Square Garden in New York.
I think I'll make this guy famous for this absurd post. He wrote this to me about Sugar Ray Robinson after I posted about Ray's amazing 131-1 record as a welterweight. Apparently the "brilliant boxing historian @LanceGIsTheName somehow does not know that Robinson fought 18 world champions, 10 Hall of Famers and dozens of top contenders. He has 19 wins over fighters who were inducted into the International Boxing Hall of fame.
Being a journeyman in boxing can lead to a lot of opportunities and paydays. These are the top 5 journeyman EVER in boxing 1. Shawn Porter 2. Gabe Rosado 3. George Kambosos 4. Rolly Romero 5. Mario Barrios
