Was JuanMa Ever That Good To Begin With?
The Sweet Science - Monday, 17 June 2013
"That was a train wreck for JuanMa. I think 95% of us picked Garcia by KO but I didn't think it was gonna be that easy. What the hell happened to JuanMa? Was he never that good in the first place? Ruined by the two Salido fights? Garcia fought wel...

Cotto's Not Cock-y
The Sweet Science - Wednesday, 11 April 2012
"Cotto's confidence seems normal to me. He's not a chest thumper nor is he a rooster walking around with his chest stuck out cawk- a-doodle-doo'ing. If he were ice cream he'd be vanilla when it came to these interviews. He might want to mix in a R...

Cotto Past His Sell-By Date
The Sweet Science - Wednesday, 11 April 2012

Mayweather Is Mister Clean
The Sweet Science - Wednesday, 11 April 2012
"Looking forward to this one. We got the P4P King vs. a top #5 P4P pugilist who have never been beaten without the cloud of suspicion or catch weight advantage. Two of the best in the game about to bring the pain, but when it's done..one top dog w...

The Sweet Science - Wednesday, 28 March 2012
"Bert never refused me a photo or a handshake. My fiance just lit his cigar last summer. God bless Bert Sugar. They don't make 'em like they used to, that's for sure." --TSS reader Deep Water will miss Bert
Truly One of a Kind
The Sweet Science - Wednesday, 28 March 2012

There Will Never Be Another
The Sweet Science - Wednesday, 28 March 2012
"Sad news. I'm really going to miss Bert Sugar telling us stories about all the fights that happened back in the day. He was one of the big reasons why I wanted to learn more about the history of boxing. There will never be another Bert Sugar...Ma...

Valuev Coulda Been Contender Vs. Wlad
The Sweet Science - Monday, 05 March 2012
"It will take a big, strong, skilled boxer who Wlad can't push and pull around the ring to expose Wlad as the one-dimensional boxer he is. Lewis and Bowe would have knocked him out but there aren't big men of that quality around at present. Someon...
