Barry Mcguigan thinks Valero should not fight agian..

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Mcguigan is a fukking idiot. A selfish one at that. Valero ain't no 17, 18 year kid who doesn't know any better. He's a 28 year old man who is very well aware of what he's gotten himself into. Who the fukk is Mcguigan to try and take Valero's career away before it's time? To put pressure on Valero by saying it's for the sake of Boxing is fukked up. And wrong. Boxing is a brutal sport. Valero isn't any more at risk than any other fighter. He can't get a US license cuz everybody is just looking out for themselves. Nobody wants the finger pointed at them if something were to happen to him. Doesn't mean he's in any more danger than normal.

Mcguigan needs to watch the Vincente Mosquera fight. A fight in which Valero took his share of punches without falling and dying. It don't need to be Pacquiao or Mayweather to test him. Mosquera tested him just fine

To try and take away? Your overacting just a little bit there.

Fair Do's

I just put that down to his little Irish accent.. '' For the sake of Boxing!''... Like when i say ''For Christ sake''!

I don't literally mean ''For the betterment of the memory of Jesus, our Lord & Saviour''

I've never seen a single one of his articles where McGuigan isn't spouting complete unadulterated bullshit. I don't have the memories of him as a fighter, seeing as I was a toddler when he quit boxing, so aside from being impressed by his old fights, he's always come over as complete knob to me.

Approaching a decade after that incident, If he got punched in the head and died tomorrow. I'd still be looking at the last 6 months to 2 years of his life for lingering health problems. To go back to something that happened 9 years ago looking for a reason aside from him being punched in the head for the last 10 years... is a bit of a stretch. As others have said, he's a grown man and knows the consequences of his actions.

After an incident like that, fighting on could be seen as living your life or tempting fate. Tempting fate can be a dangerous game... but its worth the gamble when you weigh spending the rest of your life living vs. spending the rest of your life wishing because you're afraid to do anything because it could kill you.

I see Barrys point....Years ago when I first started here I wrote something on M esi when he was dealing w his issues and had just gotten licensed....Yes these are grown men who know the severity of what could happen but again they don't KNOW the severity of what could happen...If many fighters truly understood what could happen due to boxing we would have many many less fighters....

I remember how many guys would not go see the G-Man even those who were his good friends due to the fact they did not want the reminder that it could be them....

Guys need to make a living and as champions they are just starting to9 make the real money they have been aspiring for so they want to chance it...Some are in a Catch 22 situation..they will not be able to provide for their families well enough with a regular job so they keep at it hoping this is not the night things go wrong...Tough tough way to make a living

I admire the courage of the physician who cleared Valero to get a boxing license in Texas. He may be opening himself up for medical malpractice in case something terrible or tragic do happen.
