fighter pacquiao
Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter I've ever seen
hurt strong fighter
Shane Mosley is a dangerous fighter. He is bigger than Manny, strong and he still has his speed. He has never been stopped. He can take anyone's best punch and come back as strong as ever. He's so resilient. You can't hurt him.
fighting opponents fighter
Nobody can count Shane Mosley out. He is a good, good fighter, especially when he fights an aggressive opponent like Manny Pacquiao.
comparing fighter fights guys interested lack pen picking power promised signing situation
I'm not comparing him as a fighter to Marvin Hagler, because there was only one Marvin, but the situation is the same. But I promised Antonio I would do everything in my power to make 2006 his year. If he doesn't get those fights this year, it won't be for a lack of effort. It will be because guys aren't interested in picking up the pen and signing the paper.
appreciate attraction beginning biggest fighter follow knows media naturally position public talented
I think the public now is beginning to appreciate this man's talent. As the most talented fighter in the world, he will be in a position to be the biggest attraction and make the most money. I think one thing will naturally follow the other, as long as -- as he said -- is cooperative with the media and knows and understands promotion. The sky's the limit.

He can do what he wants. I know there are some fighters disaffected with King. If he can put together a tournament, God bless him. But remember, he has to put Ruiz in that tournament.

If you think Barkley was mad before the fight, wait until he sees how many people are taking part of his purse
funny retirement boxing
Sugar Ray Leonard's retirements last about as long as Elizabeth Taylor's marriages.
kings boxing
Don King sucks...Don King sucks...Don King sucks...
fighting names fans
My matchmakers said Shane would make the most entertaining fight for the fans. For pure name recognition Shane Mosley is the best fighter for marketability.
fighting talking yankee-stadium
Hopkins is talking about fighting at Yankee Stadium but that's rubbish. If he fought at Yankee Stadium, even the ushers wouldn't want to watch him. Bernard Hopkins couldn't draw breath.
boxing decision rematches
I'm gonna make a ton of money on the rematch, but that decision was horrible.
funny lying yesterday
Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth.
business feed knows numbers penny straight
Mark's a straight shooter. You're not going to be able to feed him (nonsense). He knows the numbers down to the penny and he knows the pay-per-view business like no one else.
