You keep on spouting baseless charges and then failing to back them up when challenged. That's what you're good at.

If your lonely I'll talk to you, call it the boxing helpline.

See the way it works is that most people don't want to come out and say it in public, but occasionally some do but are forced to retreat because they're afraid of getting sued.
No one polices the sport so there is no way of conducting a thorough investigation.

Take a look here.
Oscar De La Hoya was quoted by USA today as ... well you check it out.
But as soon as he was brought into the studio he basically went back on it for fear of legal action or ramifications is my guess.

So your evidence is something that was retracted.
Try again.
Another failure.

Prove prove prove.
You have nothing. I'll keep pointing out your failings as long as you want to keep going, but you're abandoning this because you can't provide the evidence I'm asking for. You can only provide pathetic psychoanalysis and weak excuses.

And another thing you posted a response 2 minutes after I posted that and the video is 9.01 long, so you wouldn't even have had enough time to watch it from start to finish.
Pack it in mate it's not looking good for you.
Bye :DD

I have no interest in watching something the person saying retracted. Try again.

See, Evander.
You admit "he basically went back on it"
I'm not interested in your inane speculation as to why.
Kepe trying.

Is Malignaggi's baseless comment (that he also retracted) evidence, too, Evander?

Oh, and back to fights that made me sad, Khan/MAB is definitely on that list.

God, when the best thing you have is something you admit was retracted, it doesn't get much more pathetic.

Between later rounds during the Calzaghe fight, a cut, crushed-spirit RJJ says to his cornerman, "I can't get him"

His cornerman says, "I know, baby".

Also

Holyfield getting beat-up by Toney was tough for me to watch.

The Williams and McBride were much sader in my opinion as neither fighter would've lasted a round with Tyson in his prime. More so the Williams fight where Tyson sat on the bottom rope bleeding.

Mike Tyson vs Kevin McBride. Tyson sat on the canvas looking up at a guy who would have been a KO1 for him in the old days.

I always thought Roy Jones Jr. vs Glen Johnson was a paradox. It was both a sad event to see and a joyous one to see at the same time. Roy Jones had just been stopped by Antonio Tarver in the rematch coming in, I personally thought he won the 1st round of that bout before getting caught and dropped, so the thought was there in a lot of people's minds I'm sure, as well as mine that he just an off moment and got caught. Well just 4 short months later he fights Glen Johnson, a tough journeyman known for getting jobbed in the other guy's hometown but never seen as anywhere near the level of the Roy Jones' of the world.

Well most of you know the story, this time Roy doesn't just get caught, he loses round after round to Glen Johnson and just looks like he simply doesn't want to be there anymore. Not to mention that aside from the one-sided nature of the fight it was also a particularly brutal KO where you knew Roy Jones was never going to be Roy Jones again.

On the other side of the coin of course it was a pleasure to see a hard luck tough guy have his moment in the Sun after such a rough path through the sport, and when he followed it up 3 months later with the victory over Tarver it just made the storybook year Johnson had all that much better.

.....I've seen a number of sad fights over the years, but seeing as how I just looked back on this one recently it was fresh in my mind.

The toughest fights for me personally to watch was Pacquiao-Morales III as I adored Morales, Morales-Garcia II was slightly easier to deal with because I had already written him off before so I was very proud that he was even able to come back enough to get that opportunity again. I hope he goes out with a decent win down in Mexico.

And JLC-Corrales I was a real heartbreaker for me, I was a huge Castillo fan and had told everyone he was going to KO Corrales in Round 10, and when he came so close to making my prediction come true only to be stopped on his feet moments later...it was like a punch in the gut. I've never had that reaction watching a fight before. I went from being so over the moon happy that JLC had this thing wrapped up and he just needed to put down Corrales one more time which he was surely going to do, then he was stopped and I just couldn't believe my eyes. From the joy of certain victory to the agony of crushing defeat in the blink of an eye. I've never been able to fully appreciate that fight because of the personal heartbreak it was for me.
