ok i mean since the Manny Morales Fight or even going as far at the Hopkins Eastman fight.
we have had a decent fight every weekend
and then i mean look at this potential fights of the year all taking place during that period:
Moralez Vs Manny
Castillo Vs Corrales
Arce Vs Hussein
Kostya Vs Hatton
possibly Mayweather Vs Gatti. and Taylor Vs Hopkins
i mean im very young so im i dont not much about other times but can't you guys recall any other time that had soo many good fights in such a relatively short period of time?.
Yeah, I left out Lacy-Calzaghe and Tarver-Johnson III because I figured those wouldn't happen until the December or maybe later, and Oscar has said no fighting in 2005...
But yeah, Judah-Margarito and Roy Jones-anyone would be big as well. Will Winky fight again this year?
Let's hope fall continues the trend...Barrera-Peden, Morales-?, Pac-?, Toney/Oleg-Klit, hopefully Wlad-Byrd II, and also hopefully Hatton-Cotto....
Don't forget Judah-Margarito, Lacy-Calzaghe, Tarver-Johnson III, Roy Jones' comeback, and Oscar's comeback...maybe.

Wasn't Rijker the one with the crazy hair? Guess she's going for a new look.
It has been a great last few months, really since spring started.
This week we get PBF-Gatti, but I can't afford it, and then we get Peter-Sykes and two weeks after that BHop-Taylor (which I may splurge for).
After that, we have Lacy-Reid, the DKP PPV disappointment (it could have been so much better--if Byrd had stayed on the card and if Zab was on it I might have bought it, but Mayorga wasn't mentioned in the press release, is he off it too?). and then the nice BAD Vargas-Castillejo, Chi-Juarez card.
Nice summer of boxing...
Let's hope fall continues the trend...Barrera-Peden, Morales-?, Pac-?, Toney/Oleg-Klit, hopefully Wlad-Byrd II, and also hopefully Hatton-Cotto....
Fuck, I tried to go to the Showtime website and you know what? I got this message:

Guess that's what we get for not joining the coalition of the willing.

It's a PPV; probably Top Rank like the Chavez card, which it was advertised on. It's on the Showtime website right now, but I don't imagine it will be Albert & Bernstein and the Showtime production crew, since the Chavez telecast advertised this one,but did not advertise the Tyson fight PPV which was two weeks after the Chavez one...

So I see, thanks. What network is showing this, by the way? Or is it even on TV? Not that I care about the lady fight, but I would like to see Acre's.
Good top 10 list, by the way.

That Arce - Hussein fight was wild. Arce is one cool motherfucker, I hope he fights again soon.

Tarver-Johnson wasn't a BAD; it was an HBO Championship Boxing.
My "Best Fights of the Half Year" that I have seen:
1. Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo
2. Jorge Arce vs. Hussein Hussein
3. Jesus Chavez vs. Carlos Hernandez
4. Oscar Larios vs. Wayne McCullough
5. Erik Morales vs. Manny Pacquiao
6. Ricky Hatton vs. Kostya Tszyu
7. Calvin Brock vs. Jameel McCline
8. Jean-Marc Mormeck vs. Wayne Braithwaite
9. Zab Judah vs. Cory Spinks II
10. Antonio Tarver vs. Glen Johnson II
Most memorable - Corrales-Castillo, Sechew Powell vs. Cornelius Bundrage, Lamon Brewster vs. Andrew Golota, Hatton-Tszyu
Its been great lately, I remember back in the 90's, Don King would have PPV's with like four title bouts in it.
Yes those were the good ol days , Now you are lucky to have 2 on one card
