What Counts On Saturday, May 19, 2007 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee Jermain Taylor will entertain another fighter moving up a weight class to test Bad Intentions' mettle, when he gloves up against Cory Spinks. Taylor's WBC and WBO Middleweight Championships are up for grabs, and while Spinks doesn't possess all that much pop, no one can deny he is as slick as they come technically. Would you be terribly surprised if he stole a win by giving Taylor a boxing clinic? Then, we have a rarer-than-it-oughta-be showdown between prospects Edison Miranda, the entertaining trash talker from Colombia, and Kelly Pavlik, an up 'n comer from the a Midwest fight town going way back, Youngstown, Ohio. Tell us, TSS readers, whose stock will zoom highest on the night of May 19 |

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
