David A. Avila ... at The Sweet Science


Born and raised in the boxing breeding grounds of East Los Angeles, David A. Avila somewhat followed his father’s footsteps who fought in the Olympic Auditorium during the 1950s. Instead, he wrote about boxing beginning with coverage of an Oscar De La Hoya bout in the Olympic Auditorium. He also participated in amateur boxing sporadically for 10 years before turning down a pro boxing career in lieu of a potential baseball career. While at UCLA, he realized baseball was not going to work out so he turned to journalism. Then boxing dragged him back into the fold as a writer where he began covering the sport for the LA Times after a couple of years in the newsroom. After the Times, he helped launch Uppercut Magazine in 1999 and now is a sports columnist specializing in boxing for the Riverside Press-Enterprise and La Prensa newspapers. He previously wrote for Maxboxing and WBAN. His great grandfather Battling Ortega fought more than a dozen world champions from lightweight to light heavyweight beginning in 1916. Avila lives in Riverside, California.

2009 Reader Of The Year Weighs In On Legacies Of Pacquiao And Mayweather
"Pacquiao has proven....in the ring... time and time again that he is the greatest of this time. He has earned his respect. He begs for nothing. He is a man content with his growth, his family and his achievements. A man the world has now turned it's eyes to behold. Floyd Mayweather is not even close in stature. He may possess the greatest skills but he is not the Face of Boxing today. Google Manny Pacquiao. There are 20 million searches. Google Floyd. There are 6.5 million. Look at the NYTimes, the Wall Street Journal and Time. Count how many words were used these past years to mention Floyd Mayweather. Then count the words still being printed about Manny. And keep counting. As I've said many times, Floyd has been too clever by half. He has short changed his public.....and has out-smarted himself. Manny will fight but a few more times. Enjoy it while you can. He is an all time great pugilist. Floyd, with all of his remarkable skills lack the will to be truly great in the biggest sense of the word. His legacy will look more like Holmes that Ali. He has earned it." ---November is half-way gone, but we don't need to keep counting ballots. It's a landslide. Fe'Roz has won the 2009 Reader of the Year award. His comments add to the website immeasurably, and he epitomizes the thoughtful, respectful, educated fan of pugilism we strive to cater to at TSS. Congrats, Fe'Roz, and please accept my thanks for being the valued member of this community that you are. Sincerely, Editor Mike
