Rios, Danny Garcia and Bradley, then retire. If he beats those three convincingly, he's a top 30 ATG in my book.

This is teh GOAT fight. :hail: :hail: :hail: This is big boy stuff.

Azumah Nelson is the best fighter in Ghanaian history. But after that, it's close between Agbeko and Quartey, I think. Clottey could have made the discussion if he had beat Cotto, Margarito or especially Pacquiao, but he's out. I think that if Agbeko wins tonight, it becomes a lot easier to separate him from Quartey, but how would you rank them right now?

Call in and talk about tonight's fights. Dick Buffman is PROBABLY gonna blow his stack about the Lara-Williams decision but we had another damn good fight to discuss in Rios-Antillon. Be sure not to talk ANY **** to Dick Buffman though because he might get super mad. Like really mad. And we would all hate to see that. Really, don't do it. I'm serious. Do it. I mean don't. ;) http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/75977

because they're more recent and therefore more athletic, faster, more powerful, etc. two things. 1. Fuck you, you're unnecessary on a boxing board 2. Watch the first minute of this video and kiss my ass. Courtesy of the Great A.

We all hate the sanctioning bodies. Every good fan should. So I was thinking that maybe we should just have our own rankings for each weight class and our own recognized champions and ignore the WBC and the WBO and all that bull****. It could be done with a vote, with a meeting, I'm not sure how, but it's something that would be cool if the whole forum participated in...at least the whole forum that's interested in boxing outside of two stars. What do you guys think of the idea? And yes, I understand we can't put together fights and all, but it would go a long way (at least on here) towards there being a "champion" again instead of "titleists."

This dude just completely derailed Kirkland's career. We need to help him before he goes the awfully pathetic Prescott route: the Khanqueror. What are some good nicknames for him? Leading candidate: TBA, because he wasn't actually scheduled to fight Kirkland until two hours before the fight.

Good, I hate that punk. http://www.proboxing-fans.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Ortiz-vs.-Maidana-3-Icon-SMI-2.jpg On Twitter... Si no recuerdo mal, Ortiz se fue del ring como un niño cuando nos enfrentamos. Victor, mejor concentrate en Berto... If you don't speak Spanish... Is it just me or Ortiz quit like a baby when we met in he ring? Victor, you better focus on Berto

and say "Damn. This is what David Haye could be." Haye has every bit as much athletic talent as Gamboa, he likes to fight in a similar fashion, he just doesn't work as hard.

Just wondering. ALSO: How much do you appreciate the history of the sport? Do you go back and track down fights to watch?

He just posted THIS on Facebook I got INJURY yesterday on my HAND and LEG when I was jogging so I dont think can make it to my RING return on undercard of cotto vrs mayorga fight this saturday AM sorry FANS

I know this is history stuff, but I wanted to get my finger on the pulse of current boxing fans. 10's the best, 1's the worst, obviously.

Good stuff from a guy who's fought both.

Who has the advantage? Common wisdom is that Williams hits harder, but I'm rewatching the first fight and Martinez can really punch if he throws hard...nuthuggers either way need not respond.

I'm relatively new to boxing. I've grown up around boxing. My mother's a huge Ali fan, my dad loves boxing, etc. But I never really got into the sport until about August. So now I feel like I'm playing catch-up with all the aficionados here. I have a good collection of fights, but are there any fights out there that I really need to see to understand boxing as a sport? Or any fighters who may have slipped through my fingers? I'm a huge Marquez fan and I'm doing everything I can to watch all his fights, but there are still names that get bandied about here that I have never seen. I know you guys hate on people who don't eat, sleep and breathe boxing, but any suggestions you have would be great.
