 Now that it looks as though IBF/WBO heavyweight title holder Wladimir Klitschko 55-3 (49) and WBA title holder David Haye 25-1 (23) are finally going to fight, some writers and pundits are proclaiming that the fight is what boxing needs to shine.

But you'll have to give me another decade or so watching and dissecting boxing matches before my knowledge base gets to where I want it to be.

 He’s 89 and still passing out good times and good advice, a great ambassador to a violent sport, but a guy you’d buy a used car from without looking under the hood. You trust him because he lives by the motto, “it don’t cost nothing to be nice,“ and he practices what he preaches. Tags:Angelo DundeeMuhammad Ali... Read more...
