The more I write it makes me wonder even more

TheoEpistein has voiced his belief that the best direction for the Red Sox to head in is one of run prevention in the form of better pitching and defense. He is already one of the best receiving tight ends in the game and has become a great blocker. You are about to hear a statement that people who know me personally will probably slap me for: Floyd has a point!After reading a recent blurb from Floyd Mayweather Jr on BoxingScene , I have to say that he has a point. Floyd stated that what normal people don’t know, you don’t start your carrer normally being and ordinary fighter and once you get over the age of 25 you become an extraordinary fighter.I would have to agree with him to an extent but I understand his worries. Boxers do progress skill wise as they age, which only makes sense. No matter what your profession you’re in, the longer you do it, normally you get better. But with physical sports, it is only true to an extent. At a certain point, age stops you from becoming a better physically. This is not to say you cant become better mentally, but physically you start loosing it. As the great George Forman once said: “As a fighter, the last thing to go is your power”. As Manny gets older not only does he get more powerful, but he gets faster. This isn’t the norm. But to say Manny Pacquiao is normal is like saying the world is flat. Pacquiao is an enigma in boxing. He is what is great about boxing, but also what could be bad. He has never been caught cheating nor has anyone ever suggested it until Mayweather Sr spoke up. But it does make you wonder how a man who started about at 107 pounds is now taking Welterweights apart with such ease. In my eyes, Manny is a hell of a boxer with probably the greatest trainer of this generation. As I have watched Pacman move up through weight classes with ease and taking out the who’s who of boxing while doing so.Floyd on the other hand, has never lost, never been caught cheating or even been charged of such an offense. He has always been a great fighter. Maybe that’s the issue though. Maybe Floyd doesn’t understand how it is possible. He has always had a natural talent. Boxing is in his blood and soul. Where Pacman was brought up in the slums of the Philippines and was known a brawler when he first burst into the American boxing scene. A rugged little man who didn’t care who he fought or how much punishment he took. And he seemed to get better and better… while he was under the tutelage of Freddy Roach.The more I write it makes me wonder even more. Does a trainer make a difference? I think it does, but not like that. He has a natural talent to fight, but in the Cotto fight, he took some serious shots and walked right through them. And let me tell you this, Cotto may have a questionable chin, but he can hit and hit HARD. How does a man who started his career just barely over 100 pounds take shots from a guy who walks around at 160 pounds when not training for fights? That makes no sense to me.To wrap this rant up, let me just say that Floyd is possibly one of the best boxer’s skill wise to have ever lived. Pacquiao is probably the most exciting fighter I have ever seen my short life of 28 years. One thing is for certain, they will fight sooner or later. They don’t need to fight each other to prove they are good, but they do need to fight for us fans.. Right now LeBron is slightly ahead of Kobe because he has a better record on a worse team. When he switched to the biker gimmick it actually gave him some personality and he's a pretty good wrestler.

Gavins will be the only new starter on the entire team for 2010, filling the void left by Wilson at cornerback.Besides Moore, the WAC features some magnificent quarterbacks. OK, maybe it?s just me, ?cause I?m freaky like that, but still.But the show showcased perfectly what TNA?s problems were, too.TNA can NOT script a good climax. Current WBO world welterweight champion and Ring Magazine light welterweight titlist Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao was honored as the fighter of the decade by the Boxing Writers Association of America on Monday. Pacquiao, the first boxer in history to capture seven crowns in seven different weight divisions, joined Muhammad Ali and Evander Holyfield as the only legendary pugilists to win the coveted award three times. Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) indicated to the media that he plans to personally accept his accolade at the 85th boxing writers awards dinner on June 11 in New York City. “Pac-Man” has long been considered an extremely skilled and accomplished fighter. However, Pacquiao’s dominating recent performances versus Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KOs), Ricky Hatton (45-2, 32 KOs), and Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs) clearly elevated the Filipino superstar to an iconic status. Pacquiao was chosen as the fighter of the decade over greats Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Marco Antonio Barrera. “Manny deserves to be the fighter of the decade,” said Roger “Pit” Perron, 73, a respected boxing trainer from Brockton who now works with Mike and Rich Cappiello at their gym, Cappiello Brothers Boxing and Training . “It’s a good choice I wish he and Mayweather would have fought. Williams was few of the bright spots on a mediocre 7-6 Tennessee team. I really don't see this game going anything like last year's game, except for the final score.I will admit that the Horns may have overlooked Wyoming last year, but with Garrett Gilbert somewhat comfortable at quarterback, this game may be over before halftime.My Prediction: Horns 2-0! The next four games will really give everyone in the Longhorn Nation a good idea where this team is at and where they could end up at the end of the season. Next up for the Longhorns is Texas Tech. From pursuing Bengie Molina, to considering a return of Carlos Delgado, to signing Jason Bay, the Mets have made thisoffseason about the offense, the same way they made lastoffseason about the bullpen.Now, as the Mets announce this small change to CitiField, it's hard not to think they are doing so with onebenefit in mind...restoring Wright's power.It's a nice idea, but if the Mets truly believe that a height difference of eight feet will suddenly add the 20 missing homers to Wright's season total, they're probably mistaken.First, Wright's power has always been to right-center field.

The tight end was Peyton Manning's favorite target of the night. He continued, ?If I feel it and believe it, you don't have to read some stupid-a script.? First off, Hogan did not do much for TNA?s image with his sexist insult. with 4.93 speed he is the best available D.T. A good 3 down tackle impresses with quick interior moves and non stop motor.How Do You See It? . Phoenix Coyotes (34-18-5, Last Week: 11)Dave Tippett should at least be in the running for coach of the year.

All winter Cashman wanted to get better defensively in the outfield and he has certainly done that with the additions of Winn and Curtis Granderson.Offensively, I have always felt Winn has been vastly underrated. Here’s a player who can rotate into the outfield, allow Ozzie to move forward with his rotating DH idea, and will settle for a one-year deal. We’re learning on the fly.”Denton Ramsey may be reached at .. In this USADA ad, Lindsey encourages kids to stay away from drugs, and looks super hot doing so..
