I was so impressive that I think McCain would be a -140 favorite if we met in the ring.

From 2004
McCain, who was reelected to a fourth term in November, chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, which basically means he can stick his thumb into any activity in America where dollars change hands. He is a genuine sports nut who says the best perk he gets is the chance to buy tickets to otherwise sold-out boxing matches. http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:...&ct=clnk&gl=us Sen. McCain was a pugilist during his days as a Navy midshipman and remains an avid fan, sometimes taking in a bout when visiting casinos on gambling jaunts. He has advocated increased regulation of the sport since the mid-1990s to counter what he says are lax health and safety standards, and corrupt promoters. In recent years, he's lobbied aggressively for creation of a U.S. Boxing Commission within the Department of Commerce to govern the sport. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1224...googlenews_wsj
