He was calling Roy Jones Jr the welterweight champion of the world

At one point he was, no?

Yeah, I know, but he might figure out who it was & who needs the hassle.

Hell, I don’t even read his stuff because most of it is accusatory bullshit aimed at people he doesn’t like ( mostly because they won’t work with him anymore ).

Actually, the original plan was for him to grab a title at 54 before moving up to middleweight, but he couldn’t hold the weight. I think he only made 54 a couple of times. He would usually come in at about 156 or so, then he forgot about the 54 strap & just shot for the 60 & beat Hopkins.

Some of his stuff is accurate. I believe he still works as an agent/booker for some fighters, but the last I heard, they were mostly opponents & journeymen. But he still has some contacts, so he gets some inside info, but he fabricates a lot of shit too, so he’s not reliable.

Weren’t you high on Ben a few years ago lol?

He definitely spewed non sense with PBC and them apparently going broke.

Yeah he would’ve killed him self trying to make 154.

I don’t remember. He definitely had a lot of pros go to him.

But, empirically, Moses clearly wasn’t prepared properly for this fight. In a few different ways.

I remember slagging off Johnny Lewis as a trainer for Kostya, that any physical conditioning coach can do the same for Kostya and Kostya needed a more technical coach.

Little did I know, conditioning is just as important if not more important than technique in the pro game.
