    I wonder if he is on here!

    Ross was an air conditioning engineer at a firm I worked for. Good guy, nothing wrong with his work or his attitude, but we closed down the entire depot so he became redundant along with everyone else.

    At least he didn't punch me when I told him!

    The closest Salvador Sanchez Jr ever got to duplicating his Pops feats is the hair style but think he's still plugging away at it. Hey Monk Foreman managed to go "undefeated" at 16-0 and then called it a career. Shane Mosley Jr not so much. The son of Ferocious Fernando Vargas makes his 160 pro debut this Saturday night. That should be interesting to how he follows his ol mans career and how much of a player Sr Vargas is in progression. Floyd Patterson guided and trained a chip off the block with adopted son Tracy H Patterson. Michael Hunter is doing his Dad proud but the clock is ticking.

    Was Cory Spinks Leon's son?.. And if he was who was better? Cory had a pretty good run but Leon did beat some guy called Ali

    Shane mosleys son never matched his father's level(Shane was pretty great to be fair)..

    Yes, Cory Spinks was Leon's son but never was a fan of his. He did well beating Mayorga and taking on Taylor at middleweight but he ran a lot in his fights so never entertaining.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    that is a must see ko by tim. paul & mark slugged it out on the undercard
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Whaa..... Felix Sr. was 8-8. So there wasn't much to measure up to. Not sure if that's what you meant, ryan.
