This is definitely the most difficult thing I've had to deal with in my life.  The diagnosis of my eye is permanent blindness, due to a complication after a surgery.  I think the doctor messed up, Dr. Justin Brown is his name with the Charlotte??  Eye, Ear, and Throat Specialists.  I think he messed up.  I was supposed to be able to see something the day after surgery, but the day after the surgery, I couldn't feel anything.  I had been able to see prior to going into the surgery.  I think the doctor messed up, but I don't have any proof in the record to show he messed up.  The only thing I can do is have faith in God, and his mircle healing power.  That's the hardest part, man.  Going from seeing, seeing real well too, then coming out not seeing, and then having to pay for it.  That's what's messed up about it.

IN my experience many athletes, and especially boxers, tend to adopt a style of training far more suited to that of a bodybuilder than a performance-based athlete.

The influence of the bodybuilding boom in the 1970s and the phenomenal marketing efforts of the Weiders, with Arnie leading their charge, undoubtedly made bodybuilding and weight training practically synonymous. Indeed numerous athletes and members of the public saw the phenomenal physiques on guys such as Arnie, Lou Ferrigno, Lee Haney, etc, and took much from their training approaches.

Sport is not, however, bodybuilding. Athletes shouldn’t care less about how they look, as long as performance is maximised. A good physique should simply be a by-product of their sport-specific conditioning.

Often, though, because the bodybuilding influence has been so penetrative and persuasive, many athletes simply are unable to distinguish between the two approaches. Hopefully this article will shed...

WBO super middleweight Joe Calzaghe continues to defend his choice of picking Roy Jones Jr. as the opponent for what may be the final bout of Calzaghe's career on November 8 at New York's Madison Square Garden. Calzaghe claims that he tried to make a fight with WBC/WBO middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik on two occasions and both times Pavlik turned him down. He says that none of Pavlik's comments bother him.

“We actually tried to get Pavlik after the Jeff Lacy fight and he declined,” Calzaghe told Wales Online. “We asked him again after he won the middleweight title and he declined again. So it’s funny how people come knocking on your door when you decide to fight someone else. I think he is just trying to get publicity off the back of me which is something lots of fighters try to do.

“I don’t pay any attention to his comments, I’ve heard it all before and it’s a bit of a joke. As far as Pavlik is concerned, everybody wants a payday, but he will just...
