We hear from the Millionaire Mouths all the time.
Manny Pacquiao, humble superhero, is a rare exception that he usually doesn’t put his boxing business in the street or all over the Internet.
Sugar Shane Mosley has gotten more voluble lately with his desperate quest to land an opponent, hopefully Jackpot Pacman, before the year is through. Mosley is said to have given up on landing Megamanny and is looking for smaller fish to fry.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. spews more blah, blah, blah than any fighter alive.
More in the Pacman category is his Nov. 14 opponent, Miguel Cotto, who is also the strong, silent type.
Cotto has opinions but you have to ask him to hear them. He is not a guy with verbal diahrrea.
So I thought you might want to hear the off the cuff opinion of a lunch bucket fighter, a solid journeyman who always comes to fight.
He’s proud Dominicano Jerson Ravelo, whose losses to top contenders Allan Green and Olympic gold medalist Andre Ward have dimmed his world title chances. But Ravelo does have a 19-4, 12 KOs record in what undoubtedly is the most talent filled division in boxing, super middleweight.
Ravelo made his comments on Facebook. The Newark, NJ, resident is skeptical that Money May will ever take to the ring against Pacman.
“Boxing is funny because I always said Mosley is the only guy who can beat Manny right now,” Ravelo wrote.
“Mayweather will never fight Pac because Money only fights fighter he thinks he can beat and he is isn’t sure he could beat Pac.
“His getting injuried in sparring puts an even bigger won’t on that fight even getting made.”
Instead of the old “Man On The Street” interviews, consider this One’s Fighter’s Opinion, and it’s one which is just as valid as anyone else’s.
Jerson Ravelo, blue collar fighter, has spoken.
It’s refreshing to hear a fistic voice with absolutely no axe to grind.
I don't agree with Ravelo's opinion but it is as refreshing as a balmy breeze wafting across Vineyard Sound.
