Santana D

I was just notified by loc_ness that there was someone claiming to be my husband, the late "Santana D" This forum was therapeutic for my husband during his fight against a terrible, terrible disease. I reached out to several people here during that time and was met with nothing but respect and kindness. Imitation is greatest form of flattery but not in this case, this person wrote on their page "For those who thought I was dead I apologize for misleading you." and "I lost my password" I wish it were as simple as that, I wish I could tell his children "Sorry, Daddy's not dead, he was just misleading us." I wish that every morning when I wake up this nightmare would all be "Misleading" and I could just hold him and talk to him for just one second. You dishonor my husband and his memory and you should be ashamed of yourself for casting yourself in his light. To those of you who were my husbands friends, why would you answer this fools questions and allow him into your lives? "Santana" so admired you. For those who think that I'm not who I say I am and that I'm some pathetic fool using my husbands avatar, check the profile, I have not forgotten my husbands password. His questions and answers are indeed intact. To those who come here and are new I apologize to you for having to read this but this forum was so much more than a hobby for my husband, this was his escape his way to get away from his pain and suffering and in the months and years since my husbands passing I come here occasionally to read over some of the new questions and answers and I sometimes email some of his friends, just the other day I emailed blogbaba to let him now that "Santana's" trainer has joined the forum ElGuapo, but he too was turned off by what this forum has become. There are so many of you that mean well but unfortunately there are a few that ruin it. As of today I will never come to site again to remember my husband, I have many, many wonderful memories of him and his beautiful face and smile and his incredible boxing mind, I'm just sorry that some shallow little person had to ruin it.

Floyd Jr is complaing that he has to use Reyes Gloves the "Punchers Gloves" instead of his usual Winning brand Glove. Winning is a much more padded glove used by fighters with bad hands (ones that injured easily) While Reyes is a much sleaker design with a lot less knuckle padding. Will this really matter?

changed their names (Legally) and to what?

I helped a person that was doing a report on Packey about a month ago with some answers about Packey. He was from and died in my hometown. Does anyone have any knowledge about Packey McFarland?

Shane is going to Puerto Rico to spar with the Golden Boy. How do you think this can help or hurt Oscar? Is this a wise move considering that Shane wants to fight Floyd too and wouldn't it hurt those chances if Oscar were to win?

I really don't care about anywhere else in Yahoo Answers, just here in the boxing section. In my opinion, Yahoo Answers should remove the "Top Contibutor" icon and the "Best Answerer" icon as well. I believe if anyone takes the time out to answer a question honestly and objectively it is the Best Answer. Is it really anyones business how many questions and answers someone has given?

Yes, Archie started his long career as a Middleweight and had devestating power at that weight too. Archibald Wright better known as Archie Moore had the highest knockout percentage of any fighter a record 145. Roy Jones cocky and confident, 15 rounds, who wins and how.

Lets just say, Taylor barely beats the count gets up makes it to his corner? The fight is 15 rounds instead of 12, what happens?

Now mind you this is Pipino in the early 80's and De La Hoya During the Hernandez time frame, both at their very best. I'd have to with Pipino.

Best Chicago fighters of the 80's were Lenny Lapaglia, Mike Landini, Jesse Torres, Johnny Laira, Bernard Hightower, Bucky Moreno and Joey Starr. Do you know of any others?
