    Not intentionally, of course. And the guy has been top notch with Johnson's family since. A class act all around since he began to take boxing seriously.

    Yeah, I heard. Unfortunately that is part of the sport and people die sometimes. I don't think most fighters try to kill their opponent though.

    I read the article and I dont know..don't think its my place to judge the guy. It's easy to point the finger like the author and say "He's a bad person" when we don't even know him and aren't perfect ourselves.

    The author (who posted here a while back asking people to buy his book), mentioned that Chavez's biography was completely biased in the sense that his friend attempted to portray Chavez as a hero. Well, his article was basically at the other end of the spectrum. He tryed to make Chavez look like a disgusting human being. Yeah, no bias there buddy:-(

    He needs to take that **** to karmatalk.com or something. It was basically his personal, skewed perspective on how karma should deal with Chavez. Nevermind that Chavez turned his life around AFTER paying his social dues for transgressions of his youth. Basically, he feels that Chavez has not paid enough, I guess.

    The fact of the matter is that Chavez commited crimes in his youth, paid the price, and matured as a man. This wasn't a guy who rose to fame and used his newfound financial clout to cater to his boyish whims. No loud, thuggish entourage, etc. The guy scrapped his way into contention and was humble/low key the entire way. However, That's not good enough for this "boxing writer".

    The last paragraph is comical in that he is serious:

    Nevermind his age, injuries, etc. He will fall short because he misbehaved when he was young. Yes, Ladies and Gents, Santa Claus' list will come into play.

    Let us re-write that paragraph a bit more accordingly:

    I agree with you 100 percent.

    I'll try to email the guy or find a way to contact him. He sounded bitter throughout the entire article, like he had it out for Chavez. And he's implying that karma will come back to bite Chavez in his quest for another title. Give me a break. I really don't know where to begin, but the fact BTalk has it up is a disgrace.

    It sounded like holds smoking pot in the same regard as killing somebody. Who cares if Chavez smoked pot?

    It was ridiculous that he continued to cite the pot smoking...and weight gain. Keep in mind this was prior to him undertaking boxing as a profession. Once he did, he was the consummate professional.

    By his criteria, most people in America are bad human beings.

    I'm no longer surprised/disgusted any more since I realized I was reading the ramblings of a teenager. :-(

    Please, child, tell me about life :lol:

    :lol:

    This guy has an irrational dislike for Chavez. He's a true keyboard warrior with no respect toward the fighters whose heart and willingness to risk it all give his lame ass something to write about. Disgraceful and not worth mine, or anybody else's time.

    He's posted on ESB before. I hope he reads this.

    I was reading through his myspace page and I gotta say - for being his age, I respect his ambition and love for the sport.

    That article, however, is irrelevant to boxing and ultimately serves as nothing more than a proclamation of his immaturity. Should his journalistic career take off -and, being honest, I hope it does- I don't think this is an article he'll look back on fondly.

    Get some life experience under your belt before you go expounding your strong beliefs on karma and what not...
