Won't be losing too much sleep over this one. Id prefer that Hopkins face a different opponent. I'm not aware of any real interest in this fight other than in australia. I'd rather see him fight adamek or dawson.
It 's funny how this fight(if it ever happens) will probably be the most highly publicized fight of the last 20 years. But tonight's fight Vasquez Marquez 4 will be 10 times more entertaining. Boxing needs to work harder to hype the fights that are exciting for new fans if they want to grow the sport.
I don't see how they can defend a Pac - Margarito fight. We're talking about a guy who had his ass kicked in his last fight, then he beats up 2 bums and suddenly he gets a shot at the P4P #1? It just looks like such an obvious money grab by Arum. Which of course it is.
LOL, what does Paulie do, browse this website all day just waiting for someone to make a comment so he can immediately fire back? It rarely takes him more than 15 mins to respond to anything said about him.
It is a risk, but that's good, it's the way boxing should be. Sick of seeing over-hyped fighters hand picking opponents to build up there reputation. If Kahn pulls off an impressive victory he will have earned it.
As long as Haye fights Vitali what's the problem?
It wouldn't be a problem if he actually fights Vitali (soon). But his past behavior gives me no confidence that he's actually going to do it. I'll tune in when and if Haye actually fights a Klitschko, but until then I'm done paying attention to his bullshit.
That's what I like to see, go yanks!!! THis fight reminded me slightly of froch vs dirrell, the difference is ward figured out who the better fighter was after 2 rds
This is just stupid. Winning this fight would mean nothing for pacquiao, how does this make sense at all? Someone needs to explain to Pac that belts really don't mean anything anymore. This guy will only fight a few more times and there are several very interesting fights that could be made. He's really going to waste one of his last fights on Foreman? Do they really think they are going to get people to pay 49.95?
I doubt Arum lets this fight happen. JCC jr has been in against C-level fighters his whole career, and now suddenly he takes one of the top 2 guys in the division? He might as well kiss that undefeated record goodbye.
You guys don't really belive that this fight is off do you? You have to remember how these things work, take a look at this if you need a reminder.

For once I agree with Arum. Valero took the coward way out. he didnt hang himself because he felt guilty killing his wifr. he hanged himself because he didnt want to live in prison his entire life.
How the hell could you possibly know why he killed himself?
