This week’s bag has a little of everything with the always present Manny Pacquiao diehard fans out of the PI ringing in with their questions, picks for Gatti Vs Mayweather, more questions to George from the readers who want him to make a comeback to a boxing ring near you, and thoughts about Anne Wolfe’s proposed fight against a man. Keep those questions coming in, George loves answering them for sure, and so do I.
Brad,
Thanks so very much for the coverage you give our great Hero Manny Pacquiao over here in the PI.
Pacman’s Number 1 fan
Pacman’s Number 1 fan,
Thanks for the kind words, but I cannot take the credit for those great articles on Manny. Ron Garlape and Arnel Paciano D. Casanova get all the credit. They make my job easy with their top notch articles. So when you get a chance if you haven’t already, email them with your kind words.
Brad,
I hate to see Manny in court like this. Will he ever fight again?
Richard
Richard,
Yes, he will fight again, but in life, we have to go through obstacles as you know. It’s how he deals with those obstacles that allow him to come back as the Pacman we all like to watch.
“Bad” Brad,
Davey Armstrong! Where the heck do you find these guys? Nobody else reaches out to the fighters of his era or others like you do. I really enjoyed your interview and can’t wait to see what you pull out of your hat on the next fighter from a great era in boxing.
Thanks,
Tim Risher Racine, Wisconsin
Tim,
Comments like yours make it all worth it. I just ask the questions and let the fighters make the magic. They always humble me with appreciation for reaching out to them and remembering, but the honor is truly all mine. I have always said, no matter if a fighter was a world champion or a journeyman, he deserves respect for stepping into that coveted square ring and putting his life on the line. I can tell you this about the interviews, keep reading because I am throwing all my time into finding more of these guys and sharing them with RSR readers like you and others.
George,
If you had to compare Gatti to any fighter from the 1930s or 1940s who would you pick? Do you think his face will hold up against Pretty Boy? Do you think Pretty Boy could have competed with Hector Camacho in his prime
Thanks Joey Vasquez
Joey,
He’d certainly be favorable and comparable to just about all the 1930 fighters like Johnny Jadick who defeated Tony Canzoneri in Philadelphia, July 18th 1932. Interesting observation is that Jadick done so in defense of his 140-pound title going the full extent of ten rounds, Gatti fitting well stacking up to that kind of style and grueling in fighting.
Though Floyd holds a tremendous advantage in speed and talent over Arturo, Gatti could make a defining moment in this fight with the right frame of mind. So I’m tending to think he should do well.
As far as competing with Camacho SR. it is an interesting question because I have yet to define Macho Camacho’s most prominent weight category standing out head over heels above another. That could also be said for PBF doing it up at diverse weights these days. It wouldn’t be a question of whether they’d competed or not, as much as it would be in actually defining them specifically to holding them to being accountable in their PRIME capsules enough to captivate it for me.
George,
I want to see you fight this Steven Tobias guy and kick his butt. But if you lose are you really never going to write again?
Jesse
Jesse,
What is in it for writers, reporters, or journalists etc., whomever written articles on the fights have to do with kicking butt that gets in the way for somebody to getting so perturbed about least anyway?
Most importantly what a simpler task like a license plate or identification number (including forgeries) modification would do that he’d be willing to put up against what he has to say for having no other alternative but to tolerate theses readings to suffice immeasurably on the DESK.
What a lot of Steven’s out there are really saying is, “Please, show me how to write!”
George,
I don’t know who kicked more a@$ you are Brad in the two replies to the knuckleheads, but that s$%! was funny as I don’t know what. Are you really going to box this guy Tobias?
Chris Miami, FL
Well, Chris thanks for being such an avid reader of our site. All I could say is that I’ve never been accused of shooting my foot off before, even in practice.
Gatti or Mayweather?
Jim
I could go with Buddy McGirt’s Medulla Oblongata phrase just a little on this one here Jim, but not by knockout.
George,
Anne Wolfe fought this weekend and won again. What do you think of her fighting a man which is supposed to be her next fight?
Tammy C. Lakeland, FL
In all fairness, I am perhaps the farthest removed from watching as I could possibly be, and about commenting on it one way or another of what I won’t be viewing, which began as the ’70’s Unisex Shop craze for getting a haircut; to now promoting the idea that its quite okay to beat up on the women.
Note: When you send in your question, specify who you would like to answer it or they will be split up between George and I. Questions will be taken throughout the week and the cut off is Saturday evening. If you don’t make the cutoff, look for your question to be answered the following week.
