Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
The harder they shawl: The documentary "Orthodox Stance" explores the worlds of Dimitriy Salita, an undefeated boxer and observant Chasidic Jew.
  • Permanent institutions (and update your website!!)

    If there are two things that will be with us until the dying breath of human society, those things are combat sports and religion. Actually, make that three things (prostitution)

    Note to Dimitry:

    It's been 6 months since Ricky Hatton KO'd Jose Luis Castillo. You might want to update your personal pound-for-pound rankings on http://www.dsalita.com/ that have Hatton at #9 and Castillo at #6. Just a thought.

    Note to everyone else:

    As a boxing fan and a Jew, I'm telling you the weight classes Salita could fight in are the deepest in boxing right now and Dimitry Salita is a LONG way from being competitive with any of the better guys around 140 lbs - Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, the aforementioned Zab Judah, even Paulie Malignaggi. Get in there with Oktay Urkal and then let's talk.
