Liebling at the start of a boxing column is a little like shouting the name Pavarotti as you prepare to launch into a karaoke performance: it only reminds your audience of what they're not going to get. Nonetheless, here goes: I couldn't help thinking of Liebling (the legendary author of The Sweet Science, whose coverage of the sport for The New Yorker from the 1940s into the '60s, earned him general recognition as the finest boxing writer ever) Saturday night as I sat on press row at Madison Square Garden watching the fight card that culminated with Miguel Cotto's thoroughly impressive dismantling of the overmatched Michael Jennings. Specifically, I was reminded of Liebling's classic essay Boxing With the Naked Eye, and of how far things have come since he wrote it.Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:20:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_wertheim/09/01/tennis.mailbag/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_wertheim/09/01/tennis.mailbag/index.htmlDo the tennis authorities tell umpires to behave differently when the Hawkeye system is in play? Some chair umpires seem reluctant to overrule, instead leaving it to players to challenge. To me, that's plain wrong. Hawkeye shouldn't change their obligations. If they see it in or out, they should call it that way. All that's different is that the player has an option other than ranting, and that's how the referees should be told to play it.Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:45:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/nicki_jhabvala/06/10/king.prizefighter/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/nicki_jhabvala/06/10/king.prizefighter/index.html"I learned a long time ago from this guy named Cyrano de Bergerac, 'Don't bring me no mortal men, bring me giants.'" --Don KingMon, 18 Aug 2008 21:37:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/05/01/felixsavon/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/05/01/felixsavon/index.html#cnnSTCTextThe greatest in an illustrious lineage of Cuban fighters, Savon dominated the amateur heavyweight division between winning his first world championship in 1986 and claiming his third Olympic gold medal in 2000.Mon, 07 Jul 2008 05:21:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/21/timeline.tyson/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/21/timeline.tyson/index.html#cnnSTCText1966 Mike Gerard Tyson is born.Mon, 26 May 2008 14:31:00 EDThttp://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20185341,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnnhttp://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20185341,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnnThe Today host will be teased by both his costars at an X-rated New York eventThu, 20 Mar 2008 16:06:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/03/09/mannix.peter/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/03/09/mannix.peter/index.htmlThe call came last week, just as I was boarding a plane to Salt Lake City.
