In his April 1st article on www.maxboxing.com, Michael Katz states that he is banning Pedro Fernandez's site (www.ringtalk.com ) from being linked in MaxBoxing. He claims that Pedro's attacks on Norm Frauenheim of the Arizona Republic are lies. Katz is mad that Pedro said that Norm Frauenheim is a stooge for Top Rank. I wrote to Katz and told him it would be better if he proves Pedro Fernandez wrong, instead of just calling him a liar and banning him, which is the easy way out. I also cc'd editor Doug Fischer. So far no response by either. I'm sure they are very busy men and by no means am I being sarcastic.
Pedro is considered a blowhard by some in this group, but I was wondering if anyone has some insight as to what really is going on. Is Frauenheim really just a stooge or is Pedro carrying his vendetta against Top Rank a bit far? This might not be a big deal to some, but this story intrigues me due to Fernandez's allegations against Top Rank and their supposed actions towards Yori Boy Campas.

Is this "Pedro" the same guy that has a radio talk show. I seem to remember listening to him briefly during weekends. If it's the same guy, he is definitely a BONEHEAD!
Yup, reminds me of a scene in the Tyson movie (it was on HBO or Cinemax >recently), where Cus introduced Tyson to Jimmy Jacobs and Bill Cayton and >said somethign to the tune of "These are the only honest guys in the sport.">
Bill Cayton? There 'll never be another man like Bill Cayton. And for that we, the boxing fans, have lost much in the way of integrity in the Sweet Science.
