    I boxed as an amateur. I think I could have made some noise. I worked with some pros. I really loved the sport,and I was pretty good. The problem, my Dad wasn`t all about it. I wanted to got to Goody Petronelli`s and train there to start a career. Wasn`t happening...I have so much respect for the courage it takes just to step inot the ring. Your average fun, just doesn`t get it.Boxers,(IMO) are the bravest of all athletes...

    Has anyone else noticed that non of the **** talkers of ESB have posted. Those who like to call fighters quitters, pussies, etc, not one has posted their boxing resume. I guess it's easier to fight from behind the keyboard. By the way I don't box, just love the sport.:bbb

    I'm a former NY State Golden Gloves Heavyweight Champ. I took silver in the '88 Olympics in Seoul and I'm a 2 time WBA Heavyweight Champion of the World.

    Oh, wait a minute...that's not me. I trained w/ the now infamous Buddy McGirt (maybe that's why I'm not a pro!) in my late teens and continued to spar into my early 20s. Got married, had a kid, got a desk job, put on 50 lbs and the rest is history. I'm 6'2" carrying around 255 pounds, about 35 lbs over my "ideal" weight. I can still crack but I'm too fat and slow now.
