Admittedly, I don't know too much about Larry Cisneros but I do know that the great state of New Mexico has consistently turned out good, if not always great, fighters, including Bob Foster, Ted "Mustang" Garcia, Johnny Tapia, Danny Romero, Los Angeles' own "Adopted" New Mexican fighter, Art Aragon and my own cousin Louie Burke. I will always be partial to New Mexico, since that is where my family is from. Lots of history there.kikibalt wrote:

I would not believe a word either Camacho utters. Senior is currently in jail for breaking into a computer shop to steal his OWN computer, uriunating in the shop while he was in there. He is America's dumbest criminal, surely. His son once blatantly punked out of a fight with Jesse James Leija...kikibalt wrote:Camacho backing out
By Edgar Gonzalez
Junior middleweight contender and son of legend Hector Camacho,
Jr has denied that he backed out of a November 8 match up with
former world champion Luis Ramon “Yory Boy” Campas in Tijuana,
MX because of weight issues as claimed by the event’s promoter.
Camacho not only vehemently denies that he is out of shape; he
also says he was never given a contract for the November 8 contest.
“I didn’t know anything about the bout,” Camacho said. “I would have
loved the match up (with Campas) but I never got a contract for it.
I don’t know where this rumor came from.” Camacho (46-3-1, 26 KO’s)
says he’s been training for a November 20 scheduled 10-round bout
with Dave Saunders in Altoona, IA. As to the question of Camacho’s
physical condition, the Orlando, FL resident says he is currently near
the junior middleweight limit of 154 pounds. “I’m at 155 now so I am in
great shape,” Camacho said. “So why would I back out of a fight?”
In Camacho last fight in May of 2008 against Roel Salinas at the Plaza
De Toros El Paseo, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The Puerto Rican looked
fat and weight 168. What are your thoughts about Camacho Jr.?

Hector Camacho Sr is a legend? Bennie, about Camacho vs Jesse James Leija, you took the words right out of my mouth. From a purely technical standpoint, Camacho Sr. had the potential to be great. He had talent to spare. It was his behavior, inside and outside the ring, and his inconsistencies that kept him from reaching true greatness. He had his moments but they were few and far between. If Camacho is a legend, what does that make Rocky Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson?bennie wrote:I would not believe a word either Camacho utters.

Now, that is what you call 'walking the walk'. Fantastic shot. Marciano, it has to be said, was right out of order that night, fouling a brave but outclassed opponent repeatedly and coming across as a bully.kikibalt wrote:

Hopkins a racist and coward according to Calzaghe
By Steve Cofield
Joe Calzaghe just wanted a few days to rest and mull over his future but the British media is all over the guy and it appears that he's tired of being asked the question. In a recent interview with The Mirror, Calzaghe mentions that he has little passion left for the sport and that the most lucrative fight out there, a rematch with Bernard Hopkins, won't happen because he can't stand the man.
Calzaghe has been outspoken in response to Hopkins' claims that he and fellow causasian Kelly Pavlik didn't have the game to beat elite black fighters:
"Screw Hopkins, man. He got his (expletive) kicked by a white boy. He's got to accept that. He's an idiot. A complete (expletive). I don't want to give him a rematch. It wouldn't be a good fight. The guy's a racist. He was never going to give me any credit."
The Welshman made similar comments to Yahoo! Sports last week when asked about Hopkins' racial boxing theories:
"It was a stupid comment. It's like the same comment he made towards me. And he did lose to a white guy so I don't know what he's trying to get to. I just think it's ignorant. All of our heavyweights before were predominately black. Now the Klitschkos and all that are white. Is that saying black heavyweights should fight like white heavyweights?"
'Super Joe also said he has no respect for Hopkins' fighting style:
"The way he fought against me in Las Vegas was cowardly because he held on all night and feigned being hit by low blows. He tried to steal the fight."
