That’s another pet peeve of mine with boxing. Although this is the era of primadonnas, the wide majority of fighters still get in or get guided in order to "get out of the life". Many times, its the only way out. I suppose its to be expected in this over connected instantaneous world but it ought to be taken with a grain of salt. Speaking of salt did I mention that these characters on a whole are not the salt of the earth? Ketchel, Robinson, B.Leonard, Greb, Dixon, Langford and a great deal of hall of famers would have never had careers in this market of snooping. Robinson probably shagged more women then Chamberlin.Hell even the golden 1980's would have looked differently if they had this type of spotlight constantly on them. Think of our own lives and whats around us. Even we average Joes have to almost assume these days that there is a camera on us. I just see Orwell scratching I told you so onto the top of his casket.
Of course there are limits. I just cant see how anyone could have been a fan of Monzon and Ayala.
