Below is a response to a post on another site Bruce, Its great when a fighters can say, "I fought the greatest fighters of my era" some can say it, other's can't, even though they did fight the great ones, case in point, Bobby Chacon, who fought the Arguello's of the boxing world, but who now needs 24/7 care. Was I going to let my son Frankie in the ring with a monster when he wasn't ready? no, and to be honest I don't think Frankie would ever have gotten to the point of been ready for a fighter like Alexis. I like to say that I was always honest about my sons boxing abilitys, and knew their limitations, so I was not about to risk their health and well being for $35,000, it wouldn't have been worth it when they had their life to live after boxing, I'm happy to say that the boys are able to work, take care of their familys and enjoy life without somebody looking after them.

Bruce,

Its great when a fighters can say, “I fought the greatest fighters of my era” some can say it, other’s can’t, even though they did fight the great ones, case in point, Bobby Chacon, who fought the Arguello’s of the boxing world, but who now needs 24/7 care. Was I going to let my son Frankie in the ring with a monster when he wasn’t ready? no, and to be honest I don’t think Frankie would ever have gotten to the point of been ready for a fighter like Alexis.

I like to say that I was always honest about my sons boxing abilitys, and knew their limitations, so I was not about to risk their health and well being for $35,000, it wouldn’t have been worth it when they had their life to live after boxing, I’m happy to say that the boys are able to work, take care of their familys and enjoy life without somebody looking after them.
