"THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge."

Chad Ocho Cinco this time has his mouth again racing ahead of some sitting-down-for-a-thought moment. Even before he learns the next to basics of boxing, he's in the thick of business again with some pretentious claims that we'll be struck by awe once we see him beat WBC Welterweight champion Andre Berto.
Andre Berto has heard of this horsing around and though he's not Muhammad Ali his spontaneous reply is genius while sounding inadvertently funny with an influence of "yo mama" jokes accent.
"So when I get in the ring and knock out (welterweight champ Andre) Berto, and people are like, 'I didn't know Chad could fight,'" he said to us, "I just told you."
"I'm here to say that when his season is over, which should be before the playoffs start, I'll give him the beating of his life and show him the difference between kicking footballs and getting your ass kicked. By the time I'm done with him, he'll want to change his last name to No Mas!"That "No Mas" goes down on my list of the top comebacks of all time. It's almost tantamount to a catfight ending in a slap and "You Bitch!" retort.
We know that Ocho Cinco has been venturing in the ring for some time but its not suffice to say that he is in an equivalent level of Berto. It's not even fair enough to give him the 20th rank of the division to fight.
No matter how silly it looks like, I can still say that almost everyone of us can throw some sort of a spinning back-fist but not until we are in a state of clinical insanity would we challenge Chuck Liddell in an octagon brawl.
