what do we think of Broner?

[Muzse]

You think he would've fought Hearns otherwise? Why was he fighting Bruce Finch instead of Hearns in an immediate rematch? Do you think he beats Hearns in a rematch?

Hearns had a fight in between the Leonard-Finch fight. So Hearns was the one immediately unavailable not Leonard.

Plus, Leonard had a badly swollen eye that needed time to heal. It's possible he suffered retinal damage in the Hearns fight.

Again, I have no horse in this race, I have never been part of any Leonard-Hearns beef.

If Ray had gotten the narrow decision vs Duran, he would have never rematched him.

If Ray had not gotten the W over Hearns, he would have begged for a rematch. On his own terms.

None of this is objectionable behaviour per se. Human nature dictates we look for the easy way out.

When Vlad beat Peter in a damn close run thing, he didn't waste any time looking for rematches.

Same with Oscar when he beat Quartey, same with Tito when he "beat" Oscar.

Well, this is what it has become around here. However, we must, like the poor wretched Native Americans, we must "endeavour to persevere"

OK, I will concede this point with the qualifier that Hearns would have hands down beaten Gay Ray in an immediate rematch, just as he did 8 years later.

Hi there, long time no see.

What's up Irish. I got busy with life. Moved across country and back, got married, just had a daughter in February. Boxing will always be my favorite sport though so here I am.

You used to be here a lot back in the day. Still lifting the weights?

[black06]

Not really. I'm down to maybe once a week these days.
