Rusty Rubin is a veteran boxing writer

With this lull in big-name boxing, I figured I’d take the opportunity to answer a few questions that have piled up in recent months. 

1) Do I foresee the magazine or the website coming back?
A) Not at this point in time, at least not with me in charge. In my senior years I look forward to being as lazy as possible. 

2) Do I make more money writing for other sites than I did owning my own avi 코덱 다운로드?
A) Didn’t make money on either. My rewards are the many friends I made over the years, far more valuable than the money (at least to me). 

3) Will boxing ever reach the heights again?
A) Probably, but not in my lifetime. Boxing has too many problems to cope with right now, including the extra competition from the MMA 다운로드. The problem can best be seen in the lack of boxing gyms and the quickening (and sickening) demise of the amateur program. It’s also why we see so few exciting fighters on the horizon. 

4) Best pound for pound fighter ever?
A) Haven’t been around that long, although it sometimes seems that way. As my late, most knowledgeable friend Eddie Futch said Charley Burley (and I didn’t see him fight) 한컴 오피스 교육 기관용 다운로드. In my time, pick em between Marvin Hagler and Archie Moore. I like fighters who could always think for themselves inside the ropes. Salvador Sanchez could have been there as well, if not for a tragic car accident. 

5) Why won’t Mayweather fight Pacquiao?
A) I don’t think its fear of losing the match, but fear of losing the big money that comes from having that unbeaten tag. It’s a fight that should be made, particularly for the good of our sport 다운로드. But it can only happen if the terms are equal for both warriors. 

Glove 2 Glove: 
Please say prayers for the soul of World Boxing Councils ambassador of good will, Karen Briman Drazner, who passed away last week. She will be missed. 
Prayers for Showtime exec and highly respected Jay Larkin, 59, who passed away from cancer.

Prayers for the complete return to good health to my old friend, promoter, and ex-wrestler Moe Smith who had complete reconstructive knee surgery last week. Moe’s a fighter and I’m sure will make a complete recovery. 

Tough fighter and great competitor Scott LeDoux, who was always in shape (as I prefer to remember him), has ALS and has been given less than six months to live. 

Also prayers for the recovery of the mother of boxing historian Scott Crouse would also be very much appreciated. 

God listens. 

Sad to report that Genaro Hernandez’ cancer has returned 아이폰 hwp 다운로드. We ask for your prayers to help “Chicanito” in his battle against this relentless foe.

In these hard economic times, any or all of these books will make an excellent and inexpensive presents to the boxing fan(s) in your life.
