    That is too bad. He's a cool guy. I'll never forget when he knocked out Roger Mayweather in the first round. One time, I saw him at Newark airport, and struck up a conversation with him. We chatted about the upcoming Salvador Sanchez-Wilfredo Gomez fight. Hope he can get it together.

    that's the sad thing about what money does to people ... floyd , oscar , arum , king ... could all set this dude up for life in a solid situation but they won't not because they can't nope just because they don't

    Doesn't make it right, it's no way for an ex champ who gave boxing his life ,to be living.
