It’s not the first time in boxing that rodents have disagreed.
Look at how Team Mayweather and Team Pacquiao could not find common ground.
Now comes Staten Island Chuck, who advocates blood testing only after he has chomped on your finger.
Staten Island Chuck, known on legal papers as Chuck C. Hogg, takes issue with his better known colleague Punxsatawney Phil on two fronts.
“I thought I would get more attention today, Groundhog Day, because I didn’t bite Mayor Bloomberg this year,” SI Chuck said Tuesday.
“I was hoping that idiot Bill Murray would show up so I could give him some payback not only for the dumb movie, Groundhog Day, but also for what he did to my cousins in that silly Caddyshack.

“Anyway, I didn’t see my shadow or Murray’s so winter is almost over. As usual, that Punk from Pennsylvania got it wrong. My accuracy rate is 76 percent to his measly 39 percent in forecasting the end or continuation of winter. I hear Punky Phil saw his shadow and says we’ve got six more weeks of frigid temperatures. You want to see frigid, you should see Phil’s ex-wife.
“Phil doesn’t know the difference between a burrow, like where we like to live, and the borough of Staten Island. Teddy Atlas lives nearby and no, I have not seen that what if Pacquiao is caught doping email either. I think it might be in a rat hole somewhere,” Chuck said.
“So, speaking of rats, all of a sudden Phil is a Phil-ipino. He reminds me a lot of Manny’s fans, bushy tail, small brain and dwells in a hole in the ground. Me, I’m living large in the zoo on Staten Island, that is how I roll.
SI Chuck compares Flomos to bilge rats, now that’s a real furry hater for you
“Phil-ipino says six more weeks of winter, I say Manhattan will be baking like Miami Beach in no time. Phil-ipino says Pacman beats Joshua Clottey, I say load up on bets against Manny now.
“Joshua is from the African nation but it’s Pacquiao who will be a Ghana come March 13 in Dallas. Pacman will go down like Lee Harvey Oswald did when Jack Ruby pulled out his gat at the cop shop that Sunday.
“Clottey lives in The Bronx and, to use the Bobby Bonilla expression, Joshua is gonna show Manny The Bronx. This one will be a shocker to many on Manny but not to me. I was thinking of shooting down to Texas for the fight but really what’s the point
“I live in a zoo as it is,” Chuck said.
So concludes the tail of the disputing groundhogs.
But then Chuck offered one more tasty tidbit: “Did I mention Flomos, or Floyd Mayweather fans?
“They remind me of the bilge rats you see down by Mariner’s Harbor over here. They are the lowest of the low.
“Their hero is nothing but a zero. He should be ashamed of himself picking on Old Man Mosley. Shane wanted the fight 11 years but Duckweather dodged him. His fans should see their nearest exterminator quick and end their suffering! Charles Manson attracted a better class of followers than Mayweather does, I mean it.
“Some of the worst of the worst in boxing…these guys comprise the Flomo Defense League, they are menaces to society, really, we must ignore them.
“You tell those Flomos, after Clottey kicks Packy’s can, L’il Floyd can come get some also…if he dares!”
