Ocho fight

[grampahol]

You're free to believe anything you like, but boxing is nothing like it used to be in this country when there were clubs in nearly every city with real hungry fighters every day ready to take someone's head off for the shot at a title. Today it's more of a boutique type atmosphere where weekend warriors pay big bucks to pretend to be fighters and real fighters can rip them to shreds in half a round in most cases.
I'm not particularly impressed. Does anyone really think a 43 year old Chad Johnson could go toe to toe with the likes of say, Tommy Hearns in his prime fighting for a title? Not a chance. He would've been dog meat in the first round.
Anyway..at 43 he's lost just too many quick steps and no pro coach in his right mind would waste a roster spot for a 43 year old washed up receiver when there are hundreds or even thousands of 20 somethings hungry for a shot at the NFL. That would be professional malpractice... for that matter it was probably malpractice for Mayweathers manager to let him fight Chad on the off chance Chad landed a knockout punch by accident..
I give Chad credit for trying to remain relevant on social media, but he ain't making a roster with any team trying to truly compete.
