I hated how he disrespected the other fighter calling everyone of them bums or punks. Rip Lou Duva

Wow I don't remember that,that is disrespectful.I remember back when a riot broke out during the Riddick Bowe-Andrew Golotta fight and they were trying to carry Duva out on a stretcher and people were trying to push the stretcher over.
Yeah,this town used to to be a breeding ground for great fighters.We have Danny Garcia carrying the torch now.

Yes remember that too Andrew Gollota must have hit Riddick Bowe in the jewels at least 4 times on purpose Lou Duva had a right to be furious.

I'm not sure if he's made it official or not but he needs to be.He was knocked through the ropes in his last fight.

I agree don't want him to get brain damage Bernard Hopkins was one of my favorites followed his fights even from Tuesday Night Fights the Executioner.

Yes absolutely you would think he had investments to allow him to stay out of the ring.

I don't know what he's got going on other than promoting with De La Hoya but I hear he is thrifty with his money.He just can't seem to be able to pass up what he see as an easy payday.

Being thrifty with no financial plan is a recipe for disaster.
