    just interesting to me how great boxers always have a sidekick- one who does everything for the guy but boxing-

    Pacqiauao - BuBoy
    Cotto- fat dude
    Floyd- Ellerbe

    this relationship i think is one that is seriously underrated- the importance of having that wing beneath your wings guy is really interesting to me. In such a lonely sport- its interesting that fighters need a companion- who is often very much - the opposite of the fighter in many aspects. i havent got really a direction for the thread or a question. just wanted to raise an interesting observation.

    Cotto actually comes across as a great guy with his big buddy, they seem to bounce off each other well, no pun intended.

    Whereas Manny makes his best mate sleep on the floor in a cupboard ... nice one Manny.

    Well, I always loved Ali's sidekick, Drew "Bundini" Brown. I don't think any of these modern guys quite compare!
