Thank you! I appreciate it!! The Portuguese edition just went on sale today too! I’m excited!
Great list! I haven’t thought of an order but I’ve generally always felt Jofre was the best of the 60’s, as his peak was incredible and dominant....
Zamora had El Toro (The Bull) and El Dado (The Dice). The first two that I thought of were Carlos Ortiz and Rafael Marquez.
Gotta have Zárate in there IMO. Also, Jofre was 24-0 in the 70’s, won the feather title too. I think he’s deserving too.
Yes, I did. I’m actually gonna be with him today the fights tonight.
I’m 36 and 6 3. I measured myself two weeks ago. He’s barely shorter than me.
I can’t find my recording of them!! I wrote them down too. I’ll look through my mess of stuff and try to get them. Failing that, I can probably...
Thursday, October 21. Thursday brought us back to where it all started - LAX airport. They had a midday flight but the rental had to go back...
Tuesday, October 19. With their return flights only two days away, the Jofres needed to get a COVID test in order to travel, so we got that out...
Sunday, October 17. Sunday was the centerpiece of the trip so to speak. A day which we had planned for so long and at times, looked like it would...
Saturday, October 16. I had scheduled a fan gathering which was centered around a meet & greet with Jofre, Zarate, and Michael Nunn at 12:30 pm...
One final matter that needed to be sorted was that neither Marcel or Andrea are fluent in English, so with their English speaking cousin denied an...
Over time, myself and Marcel shared materials and stories and I was connected with his sister, Eder’s only other child, Andrea. Since 2013, when...
My diary/article from when Eder Jofre returned to Los Angeles, October 2021 by Christopher J. Smith: In October, 2021, Brazil’s greatest ever...
That seems unlikely given the respect Nunn always had for McCallum and his friendship with him. Nunn would be completely on his game against McCallum.
He’s my friend and I see just about every week. Believe me. He’s more than 6 1. I’m 6 3. And he’s very close to my height.
Nah, he’s 6 2 and even a little more than that if anything. I’m 6 3 and he’s almost my height.
Canelo scorecards are never in line with the fight.
I think he might have been KO’d by Beterbiev. That’s not to take anything away from Bivol, who was masterful and took 11 rounds on my card, but...
Before 2013 when he broke down due to his wife’s death he was jovial. Everyone said he was the biggest joker, always pulling practical jokes on...
Research was sort of like bits I did over 10 years or more. I was always researching him, interviewing him etc; but for my own and with no...
Yes he is. Had the pleasure of spending some time with him a couple weeks back, went to some bars etc; Nice guy who doesn’t really have a bad word...
Mayweather and Chavez I think between 30-40, same for Pacquaio. Tyson? No. I like him and everything but I don’t think he has a case for top 100....
It’s very hard to do these lists due to the time span and lack of film but luckily boxing was extremely well covered in the newspapers so we do...
You can’t go wrong with Danny López, Matthew Saad Muhammad, and Bobby Chacon, for me the three most exciting fighters ever. Also, Ruben Olivares,...
