Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor. Chavez was down on points and going into the last round with nothing to lose, he went for it all which led to him knocking out Taylor. I can remember as a small kid praying for him to pull it out and when he did, everyone in my house was jumping up to celebrate his win. If you analyze all the fighters that win big championship fights you would not believe how much we pay in taxes. Yet there is no social security for all the money you give and a pension to fall back on.
Every sport has a retirement fund but boxing.
I would make the fund unified across the states and we probably need Government help to regulate it. Finally, promoters need to pay into this fund to help the boxers because they are always making money and never taking punches. We really need to clean boxing up and I would fully support anyone that has extensive knowledge on boxing that could clean it up. I fully support a unified system that all participants in boxing know that anywhere we fight will be the same. I want them to remember me as a fighter that fought everyone out there and was not afraid of anyone.
