From ML re Naoya Inoue: “I think it’s a little early to call Monster the best of all time. His problem is he doesn’t have a great rival. Ali had Frazier. Leonard had Duran, Hearns, and Hagler. But no doubt Monster is the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world right now, and he will go down as an all-time great. When I was in Tokyo in 2024, I missed his fight by a week. I was as bummed as my wife was relieved.”
My Response: I’m sure you’re right about Monster. I’m still in my crush faze with Japan, and thanks to YouTube and AI it’s easy to get a clip of his best moments. Still, I’m glad to hear that you think he’s a high-level athlete. As I’ve said many times, were it not for having an advanced case of sciolism, there would be very few things I could write about with any merit.
Investment advice for JB from JS: “It sounds like JB is the typical investor that plays hunches. He should read Benjamin Graham’s book, The Intelligent Investor, and he will clearly understand the effort that should be made to buy a company. Graham taught and also employed Warren Buffett, and that should tell you the whole story.”
