    I met Buddy Mcgirt at a bar called ringside in jersey city. We talked boxing history and I kept saying you look familiar. After about 1/2 an hour he wrote his name on a napkin and we cracked up because I told him things about his career thinking he was someone else. Great guy! I enjoyed chillin with him.

    • @mookeychase0907
      @mookeychase0907 7 лет назад

      Yeah I gave him extra points just because he's Buddy. An old school guy that respects the craft and the predecessors...Good is sufficient...

    • @big-l5771
      @big-l5771 7 лет назад

      mookeychase0907​ yea but calling average trainer n Fighter great is a little to much cause he never beat nobody of star status or trained anybody that was that dude.

    • @mookeychase0907
      @mookeychase0907 7 лет назад +6

      My dude I said I was being generous, then I said he was "good" what you want me to say? Why you coming back saying the same thing like I insisted he was great. Yo you acting like I said he was the greatest. Yo he aint a great trainer he is a good trainer and a good teacher. He won trainer of the year back in like 2001. He was a two time world champ held down two belts for two years. He ducked nobody he beat Frankie Warren, who was a helluva fighter. He gave Sweetpea a good fight the first time,he was pound for pound at welterweight at one time. 73-48-6 he was a worthy champion and he did and still does some good things for the sport. Some things alotta fighters haven't and won't do. Yo man listen I'd rather over credit a good dude, a good fighter, a good teacher and trainer then to sh*t on him and downplay or deny his accomplishments. In totality his accomplishments make him a great asset to the sport as countless others have been. He did his part that is my opinion and I know some that agree...Ricardo Lopez El Finito, is one of the best fighters of all time 51-38-0 but people resort to his competition,to lessen his legacy. I am not one of those guys. Yo he beat who they put in front of him and aint no doubt in my mind he would have beat stiffer comp if they were there. Nevertheless he is still great and people that know boxing, those inside and outside the ring agree. The totality of a fighters legacy isn't always who he beat because who he fights isn't always up to him unless he purposely ducks fighters and champs. That doesn't apply to either of these guys. Now you got dudes calling GGG the greatest and put him on a level of Marvin Hagler and calling him better than James Toney and sh*t like that. If he retires today there will be many fighters and fights he left on the table so his legacy will be tarnished you can't say that about Buddy or Raul. Okay so what you think about GGG? If he left today or tomorrow what would his legacy be?

    • @daTruChosen
      @daTruChosen 6 лет назад +2

      Not as good as Toney/McCallum (either of their first two fights). That was world class high speed chess, right there. Go check it out. Best example of two equally matched elite fighters that I have ever seen. You won't be sorry you did. I had the great fortune of watching the fight while I was an amateur boxer in high school. Needless to say, I learned SO much from it.

    I did a binge of Whitaker fights, and Buddy isn't lying; Pernell would eat ribs and snatch your body. He is famous for being the defensive wizard, but great pros like McGirt will tell you that he was a problem offensively. He was not a power puncher, but he put many a lump on guys.
