...review, we determined that people should not dangle their babies over the railing of third floor balconies, or shave off their entire nose. We pretended to get newly upset about all sorts of things we already knew, like that some priests are creepy or that figure skating judges are corrupt. Wait until people find out how boxing works. I know we're worried about dirty bombs and biowarfare and I know it's comforting to agree, but we're not going to get anywhere if we spend 2003 debating the ethical dilemmas of debtors' prisons and how many fifths...

It's just one of those clichés - like all models are bimbos or all politicians corrupt. I've met plenty of smart boxers in my life, and I plan to do everything I can to change the stereotype. Bringing chess into the ring is a start in that direction. Who are the boxers you'd most like to fight? Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. Even...
