Very nice interview with Bob Arum
http://boxingtalk.com/pag/article11554.html
Talks about Pacman,Antonio Margarito,and some other topics.
Re: Very nice interview with Bob Arum
for a guy who is a lawyer from harvard, arum sure as hell contradicts himself, "people are fed up with the crop of fighters around that are showcased by HBO, they have been around so long and are past their prime". mentions hopkins and mosley in his argument. Later about the Pacquio PPV card he says he hopes to get Tommy Morrison if his ribs heal. I think age is catching up with Bob as he can't even defend his BS anymore.

My favourite ever Arum quote was when he said that 'When the future history books are written, and they talk about the great heavyweights of modern times, they will mention 3 Top Rank fighters, Muhammed Ali, George Foreman and...................Hasim Rahman'.
Makes me chuckle every time I think about it :P

yeah, i was just about to write the same thing. arum calling Rahman one of the great heavyweights in the last many years is a pure case of someone insulting our intelligence. sleazy shitt.
