Tsk, I wish they could've shown the Ward fight on HBO since they had a lot of time to spare. I want to see that knockdown to find out if Ward's chin is suspect, I hope not.
Pac dropped Toney in sparring, twice!
*Contact me for video evidence*
Morales has a better chin than Toney?:confused:
Pac used MMA gloves when he dropped Toney. He should use those kind during the Morales fight.
Spinks is still a welterweight or He CAN be if he wants to have a shot at beating the "man" right now.
I'm thinking the winner of Mosley/Vargas Floyd will decide to fight because
A)Low risk (Shot fighters)
B)Big names, so big money.
I thought I read somewhere that Spinks was moving up, because he can't make 147lbs. any more.
TuPrincipe, about your sig..
You think Mayweather is going to move to 154 to fight Vargas or Spinks?

yup, and you may have to consider how he was knocked down. being caught off balance while being hit is simply a mistake, while being pummled down is much worse. and being caught off gaurd may be simply a mistake, but on the other side, it could show a defect in the fighter's defence.
i also do think judging a fighter with less than 20 fights is a bit too early.
I agree, its a little too early to judge how good of a fighter Ward will become. However, he is labeled as "the next big thing," and being knocked down twice in ur first seven fights by questionable opponents gives suspicion on his label.
lacy is one powerful dude, attempting to compare him to a power puncher of the past is not a huge overstatement. granted, he doesnt have hearns like power, but you dont need to pour it on
He has very good power, but he knocks guys out by wearing them down. Hearns could KO you with ONE punch.
how many fighters can ya name that haven't been knocked down in thier career?
but i do see you're point. also, didn't know he was knocked down twice. who else knocked him down?
You must be kidding raesaad.
Jeff Lacy has good power, but calling it Hearns-like is just ludicrious.
That is a HUGE overstatement to say the least.
