    Thanks for replying and I wish you the best in any future and current endeavors!

    I'll be sure to check those posts you mentioned and be sure to send you a friend request when I get back in that crazy social networking world.

    And whenever you (because I hope you do) start writing again, I'll be there to show my support.

    Again, all the best -- and good luck with medical school!

    Just read your Greatest pound-for-pound boxers list, excellent article. Saw lots of great fighters that most people unfortunately don't know about.
    Also i read your short list and in your All time sports moment you have Chalmers shot from the 2008 tournament not 07.
    I mean no disrespect its a very small mistake and means nothing i just wanted to tell you because i have that as my greatest sports event ever attended.
    An absolute great game. :)

    How do you make this list when more than half of the fighters on here fought during the time your father was a sperm inside your grandpa's penis?
