    Apparently the writer was an anti-Pacquiao troll who used to blog for this site ten years ago. I searched his name in google to see if he ever worked anywhere else and all I could come up with were one or two forum posts about what a joke he was.

    Reading that article and seeing how old it is makes it really comical, especially how anti-Pac it is. It’s always funny to see how everything unfolds later on.

    Bob is still simmering a Gamboa-Juanma showdown.

    The crappy Scott Gilfroid articles are actually just as bad a large percentage of the time.

    :lol: It almost happened this year, no idea why it got cancelled.
    Maybe they are building a special venue somewhere.

    Manuel Perez and Chris Williams are very likely the same person. It's probably MVC, to be honest.

    I wonder what the percentage of boxing writers who aren't at least part-troll is. It does get clicks but sometimes I enjoy it

    This article is obviously ridiculous, but I think people do forget just how much hype Gamboa had at one point and how talented he was.
