    Not sure if anyone has been watching the 24/7 on Chavez Martinez? Whats with Sr, smoking cigarettes? I knew he had drug and alcohol problems when he retired, but how do these great fighters go from training and keeping their bodies in pristine condition, to doing drugs and starting smoking of all things? Its just crazy to see the guy smoking away. :patsch

    Maybe he smoked in his prime? Nicotine helps you cut weight and suppress your appetite

    He probably did it while he was fighting too, he wouldnt be the first to do it Monzon and Locche both were big smokers throughout their careers and i am sure theres lots more that did the same.

    The straight and narrow path can be boring.

    Lionel Rose used to smoke a lot too.

    What does it matter if Sr. wants to smoke now? I think his week long beer binges in his fighting prime was a much bigger deal. But the dude is retired now.

    Nicolino Locche smoked right throughout his career, some claim he even took crafty puffs between rounds.

    Monzon cut down to a pack a day during training. Spartan!
