Good, But Not A Pound For Pound Best Fighter

Lenox Lewis is one of four professional fighters to win the World Heavy Weight Title 3 times, along with Muhammad Ali, Evander Holyfield and Vitali Klitschko, and earned numerous amateur boxing awards including an Olympic gold medal in Seoul Korea in 1988. But I doubt that boxing historians and fans will ever label him a pound-for-pound best fighter for three good reasons.

His first heavy weight title belt was given to him by default, when the holder of the WBC belt Riddick Bowe refused to fight Lewis. Regardless of who was at blame for this poor decision, it is a very lame way to become heavy weight champion. Secondly, Lewis never faced off against Mike Tyson in his glory days, and greatly benefited by Tyson's absence from boxing during his incarceration. Third, he conveniently vacated boxing before the Klitschko brothers could smear his career.

Sorry, Lenox's professional career was too calculated and assisted by circumstances outside and inside of the ring to be considered a pound-for-pound best fighter.

True Identity of M&M Characters Revealed

Vaginal Weight Training

Yesterday, I came across a community blog discussing “vaginal weight training”. My first reaction was “they can’t be serious”. But considering that the vaginal and pelvic floor muscles are like other muscles requiring exercise to function properly, you could specifically target these areas with a purpose in mind. However the forum I chanced upon was short on details, so I googled the topic and got 321,000 hits. According to one article (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/vaginal-weight-training.html) vaginal weight training has medical applications for conservatively treating an overactive bladder and bladder incontinence by performing a series of exercises using specially designed weights in shape and volume (20 grams up to 100 grams). Other sites I visited said vaginal weight training originated from Taoist techniques used to heighten sexual pleasure to Olympic proportions. There is even a medical site that sold what they claimed to be a revolutionary vaginal cone weighing in at a hefty 450 grams.

But is there any truth to these claims backed by clinical studies? Yes, there is research that supports vaginal weight training can be an effective alternative to intrusive surgery for managing issues concerning bladder control, as well as potentially increasing sexual pleasure for both partners. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8582498).

Next Valentine’s Day instead of flowers and candy, I’ll give my other half a dozen egg-sized oval jades ranging from 20-100 grams with instructions for their use. I can’t imagine that she wouldn't be totally blown away by this gesture.

Hatton is no test for Pac-Man

Manny Pacquiao AKA Pac-Man (right side)






Ricky Hatton AKA Hit-Man (left side)



Manny Pacquiao, 48-3-2/36 KO, vs. Ricky Hatton, 45-1/32 KO is scheduled to take place May 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Contrary to what the records of these two fighters suggests this fight is not evenly matched. Manny Pacquiao's skills and speed are well beyond Ricky Hatton's ability to cope. Hatton is a durable well conditioned brawler with a number of world titles to his credit, but it won't be enough to earn him a win over Pac-Man.

In the grand scheme of things, this fight is a fine tuning and a pay day for Pac-Man in route to bigger and better things. While Hatton is looking to gain notoriety by playing the role of giant killer. However the last time Hatton tried be "Jack" the beanstalk fell on him, when Floyd Mayweather Jr. chin checked Hatton with a vicious left hook. Hatton was sent head first into the top turnbuckle, and then bounced out of the corner like an arcade pinball machine. Seconds later the fight ended with a TKO in the 12th round in favour of Mayweather Jr. On May 2 I expect history to repeat itself. Manny will have his way with Hatton, only it won't take Pac-Man 12 rounds to stop the courageous but outclassed Hit Man.

Someone is always worse off then you!

There is so much wrong here I don't know where to begin. The Speedo bottoms are the least of his problems. I think his first priority should be not shooting his testicles off.

Cheap Tricks

The worldwide economic crunch has many hesitant to spend their C.R.E.A.M. (cash-rules- everything-around-me) on items and services outside of what's necessary to work and live. Understandably dropping a bomb joining an exclusive fitness club or buying the latest fitness gadget might not be in the budget at the moment. However living well and staying fit is more about attitude; not where you do it or what you do it with. Most people don't realize the number of everyday items lying around their house and that exist in their neighborhood that can be used to chisel a million dollar body for free or little money.

Find some big rocks in a variety of sizes and you have got yourself a complete weight training set compliments of Mother Nature. Then use them to squat, dead lift, press and throw across the yard.


Fill two buckets with water, and then take a 100 yard walk.


Use bricks to perform shoulder presses, arm curls, lateral raises or walk/jog with one in each hand








To work the core swing the sledge hammer for 2-3 sets/10-15 times on both your right and left side.







Take a strong sack or duffel bag and fill it with sand, and then press, pull, drag, and slam it to exercise the entire body. You can fill several bags with different amounts of sand to accommodate a wide range of exercises.





Get a used tire, and then flip it across the yard or take a sledge hammer and whack it.







Face the fact that you have no intentions of finishing that home project you started 5 years ago. Use those wood planks and 2x4 's to perform balance and core drills.

Bean bag chairs and big fluffy pillows are great for doing squats and ab crunches on. You will work 20-30% harder than you would have performing them from the floor.




See this hill? Stop looking at it and go find one like it in your neighborhood, and then walk, run or skip your way to the top. Come back down and do it again.






Feel the burn as you make your way up and down the steps in your house.

Do pull-ups from a tree. Or tie a couple pieces of strong rope around a sturdy branch to perform back and rope climbing exercises.

Can He Walk The Big Talk???

David Haye (top) vs Vladimir Klitschko (bottom)

I'll admit the 28 year old Briton David Haye shows great potential by indication of his 21 of 23 career fights ending by way of knock-out, which thoroughly established him as one of the best cruiser weight champions. But jumping to the heavy weight division straight into a title match with Vladimir Klitschko is a hell of an expansion plan.

I am by no means a Klitschko fan, I think his style of boxing is boring and lack luster, but effective. I give credit where credit is due, even when I don't like another fighter. Klitschko has mostly KTOed and KOed every recent heavy weight fighter (52 wins, 3 losses, 46 knockouts), but say for Lenox Lewis. But the probable truth is that if Klitschko had not gotten a nasty cut around his eye during the fight with Lewis, he may have very well won the bout. Unfortunately, Lewis rudely retired without offering Klitschko a rematch. So apparently Lewis thinks it's the truth too.

Back to Haye whose ambitions may be bigger than his bite mainly due to the fact that he has largely been untested in battle. But come 20 June he'll get the challenge of his career fighting the Ukrainian giant for his IBF/WBO/IBO heavy weight titles. Whether or not the guardian of the belts changes, there is one thing for sure that you can bet the barn on. Klitschko won't be in a generous mood, and Haye not known for social tact will provide plenty of antics in and out of the ring.

I'm looking forward to this match-up, but wouldn't it be more fun to watch a Klitschko vs. Klitschko fight. Promoters could post banners that read "He who bleeds for me shall be my bother".
