What is your favorite movie?
Big Trouble in Little China

What is your favorite drink?
Green tea with Aloe Vera pulp mixed with vodka

Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport?
I guess MMA would be a distant, distant, distant, distant second. I have an interest in pretty much all combat sports. Those aside, I hold no interest in other sports. As a matter of fact, I view all other sports from Hockey to Basketball to Lacrosse with the utmost disdain. I especially hate football and baseball. I would include NASCAR but it would be an insult to real athletes to call that a sport.

Pets or no pets?
I have a dog back in Alaska. Have had her for 11 years now. She's smarter than your dog and would also beat it in a fight.

Are you for or against women's boxing?
I hate women's boxing. I love women's mixed martial arts on the condition that the combatants are hot.

Which match does boxing need the most?
Nicolai Valuev v. John Ruiz II.

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?.
Three. from 0 pounds to 100 pounds. From 100 pounds to 200 pounds and from 200 pounds to infinity pounds. We should also allow other species to participate in boxing. Like elephants.

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own?
I would have to count them. I won't. I don't have many on DVD, I have quite a few downloaded from torrents and I used to have a ****-ton recorded on my DVR before I left home. By now they're all replaced by episodes of One Tree Hill and The Vampire Diaries. ****ing teenagers.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year?
All of the big ones not involving Floyd Maywather Jr. This year, though, it will probably be different, since I'm short on funds.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?
I would require all fighters snort a line of cocaine between each round and I would also have sprinklers rain pigs blood down upon the ring and have death metal blasting over the speakers throughout the fight. Cocaine, blood, Death-metal. And strobe lights.

 

Thank you Benny.

I also enjoy shoot 'em ups


as for women's boxing, thats a joke. They are much the weaker of the the two sexes with all the weight distributed in the wrong places which slows them down. They're not made for the sport and come across as clumsy plodders with their chins up in the air doing the doggie paddle in the pool

I knew it was nothing more than a another fad of the 90s that would die a slow death. even the daughter of Ali vs the daughter of Frazier couldnt help it and reeked of desperation. Let's face it, it's a bad idea from the start

 

We finally agree on something. The majority of the general think that Anne Wolfe would have beaten Matt Vanda.

...Helll naw.

my boxer liston said to tell your dog to bring it

 

What is your favorite movie?
Haven't got just one favourite and there's way too many to name all up. I'll narrow it down to my favourite directors:

Andrei Tarkovsky
Ingmar Bergman
Federico Fellini
Michelangelo Antonioni
Theo Angelopoulos
Carl Dreyer
Werner Herzog
Akira Kurosawa
Abbas Kiarostami
John Ford
Alfred Hitchcock
Stanley Kubrick
David Lynch
Martin Scorsese

There's not many films they make that I don't like.

What is your favorite drink?
Water, but as far as alcoholic drinks go, vodka & orange when I'm chilling and absinthe shotties when it's time to get messed up.

Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport?
I'd probably say tennis, but I like weight lifting and Australian Rules Football too.

Pets or no pets?
No pets.

Are you for or against women's boxing?
I wouldn't sanction against it, but I have zero interest in it.

Which match does boxing need the most?
Harry Greb vs. Mickey Walker on film.

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?.
8. But I'd consider keeping junior welterweight.

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own?
Never counted, but I have about 400 DVD's, with probably about 4 or 5 fights on average per disc I'd say.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year?
None. At best I'll go down to the pub and watch a fight, or simply download it afterward. There's many high profile fights nowadays where I don't even bother to do that.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?
Boxing needs to be treated seriously as a cultural practice. That means it needs to be reported upon and discussed seriouslly and frequently, not simply when Tyson ****s up somehow or DLH plans some mega-dud fight. Basically boxing needs a raised consciousness amongst common people as a great sport.

I can't tell you how much it pisses me off to see a hack sport like golf reported on daily in the papers and only random misdemeanours being reported for boxing. **** GOLF! I have such a passionate hate for that elitist, pathetic 'sport'. And as George Carlin would say: and **** Tiger Woods!

 

favorite movie - Animal House
drink - unsweetened iced tea with lemon

sport - american football

women's boxing - I don't watch women's sports so I don't care one way or the other

match - Floyd vs Pac

I'd streamline it down to about half of 17 you mentioned so say 9 divisions

pets - one rabbit and one cat

I had a bigger collection in the past. I gave a lot of stuff away moving a couple times. Only about 7 - 10 tapes and DVD's left sad to say.

I have not bought a PPV in a LONG time.

In fixing boxing the status quo is to blame the stereotypical greedy, bloodsucking promoters which definitely holds true. But Manny Pac and Floyd are exhibiting some rather 'divaish' behavior in their protracted negotiations. I'm sure many purists would like to boycott their subsequent fights until they fight eachother. Could you imagine if thirty-years ago Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard had been such egomaniacs and prevented their fight from taking place?!!! No, they really loved the sport in it's purest form. Boxing, as everything else in modern society, is all about the bottom line and clashing egos. What a pity huh?
