    Yeah, pretty downhearting stuff. The fact he can't afford to stay away from sparring for a couple of days with an injury just because he needs the sparring, and even then it's only $100 or so a day. But 10 kids though by 5 different women?!

    Very sad stuff Tommy. He has that college degree though...at this point, no matter how strong the desire for a title fight of any sort, I would have to quit boxing (at least full time) and get a better paying job.

    Great article. :good

    The article must have made Chapman quit. It seems he didn't fight again, in spite of all his talk .
