While I agree that Lewis would beat Wlad, you have to be nuts to think that Grant would currently beat Wlad. Apparently you missed McCline KD him and basically KO him with the first punch of their fight with a weak left hook. And apparently you missed Grant get destroyed by the big fraud Guinn. The next time you come up with an opinion like Grant KOing Wlad it would probably be better to keep it to yourself.
Ahhh Neuraxis, I love your unfading support for Wlad, no matter how crummy a fighter he has become.
Yes Grant got his ass kicked by a couple of so-so fighters after Lennox destroyed him, but I still think he would put up a good fight against Wlad. I would pick Grant to win personally. I actually would like to see this fight. It looks like a pretty even match to me.
McCall just landed a lucky punch. Lewis beats peoples asses and wouldnt have lost a fight if it wasnt for his supect chin. There is no way McCall would havebeat Lewis in the second fight. Out of 10 fights I say Lewis takes 9 of them.
Oh my god. Larry Merchant is so much better than Roy Jones, its not even funny. Roy Jones is not articulate at all. The only thing he has going for him is that he has been in the ring. I think that having Jones as a replacement to Forman is a disgrace.
Golota set Grant up on a silver platter for Lewis. Golota ruined Grants career not Lewis. It may sound dumb, but it's the truth.
Whats your point? Im just trying to say that Lewis would beat Wlad ass the way he did Grant.
Wladimir is a real technical fighter, just like Lewis. And I dare to say that Wladimir's punches are more hurtfull than Lewis's punches! When I saw Oceans eleven, and the part where Lennox and Wladimir fight, I have to say that I'm with Wladimir. I think that people are being to hard on Wladimir. Just because you lose two fights (and one loss against Brewster that was very weird)Wladimir is a bum. That makes no sense. I really hope AND believe that Wladimir will be a world champion, and I would rather see Wladimir vs Lewis than Vitaly vs Lewis II.
Your talking about two guys fighting in a movie..A MOVIE!!! That means its not real!!! Wlad has 2 ko losses to 2 bums. Its Wlad's fault that both Sanders and Brewster are famous. We shouldnt even know who these guys are. If they didnt beat the great white hype Wlad, these two would still be nobodies. As far as Wlad's punches being more powerful than Lewis', Im not sure about that but of course its impossible to tell. I think Lewis would have ko'ed Brewster if he would have hit him with as many punches as Wlad did though. I dont think Wlad is a good technical fighter, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, that doesnt mean shit since he cant take a punch.
Wlad would get his ass whupped so bad it wouldnt be funny. Remember when Lennox fought Michael Grant and almost knocked his ass out throught the ropes? Well, take that picture in your head and replace Grant with Wlad and thats what will happen in the fight.
Wlad has a terrible chin no doubt. But he is so much more skilled than Grant that it's not funny. Since both Wlad and Lennox have bad chins, I would give Wlad a chance due to his offensive capabilities.
Dude, I have to respectfully disagree. I think Lennox would embarass Wlad rather quickly, and I think Michael Grant would knock Wlad out too.
Jim Lampley, Max Kellerman, and the most underrated and un recognized boxing commentator of them all, the great host of the best boxing show on the radio, Rich Marotta! BTW, Rich will be doing the upcoming MAB fight for HBO.
Wlad was Koed by Lameon Brewster and you people think he could take the punishment Toney would dish out? Man, you guys are nuts. James would play with Wlad like a cat with a mouse and Ko him whenever he feels like it after about 2 rounds.
McBride is a bum, he only beat Tyson because Tyson is too old and he is too big. VK, Rahman, Peter, Toney and Brock would destroy him.
I dont think there is anyone out there who would say McBride is not a bum. Of course he's bum, but that bum WHUPPED TYSONS ASS!!! :p
In the first fight Pavlik was knocked down and came back to KO Taylor. That kind of stuff rarely happens, so I dont think this fight will be as good. I think that Pavlik can stop Taylor again, but if that happens I dont think he will get hurt first. I am looking for the winner (whoever it is) to be somewhat dominant throughout the fight.
Berto's on the undercard, huh? I didnt know that. I noticed that its not on HBO's site as well. I wonder what is going on. I live walking distance from the casino and I was really looking forward to this. Hope its not cancelled.
From a skill standoint, Roy has a lot more left in the tank then Mike Tyson at 39 years old. Tyson couldn't even beat Kevin McBride
My point was if he beat Tito and Calzaghe convincingly
He still could not be. Where is Winky Wright? He beat Tito convicingly, and he dropped off the map. Beating a washed up Trinidad doesnt mean much. This fight will only determine who is LESS washed up IMO. In the case of Jones, I hope we dont have another Holyfield case on our hands of guy who holds on to a dream and doesnt have the sense to call it quits.
Could Roy Jones ever be Pound for Pound 1# again?
No.
Agree. Its a simple as that. There is no way in the world RJJ will ever be world PFP again. This must be coming from some crazy fantasy or something. This is like the Tyson fans saying that he can come back and be heavyweight champ again. This is crazy talk. This thread should be locked.
I think that venue is pretty small, I would go with the 75 or VIP...
I might acctually have to go check it out now that I think about it.
Ive been there. It is pretty small, but all the seats are at the same level, meaning no stadium seating. I think even 75 is a little high for this fight. I would go if it was like 50, but im not spending 75 to see this. I might go down to the casino just to se if I can see some famous people, then come home and watch the fight on HBO HD.
I bet this game will suck. Why? Because Don King is involved. There is no way that Don would ever put the performance and development of a game above his cut of the money. This guy would have no problem putting out a peice of garbage as long as he gets paid for it. Also, I imagine that only fighters promoted by Don will be in the game. That would also suck. Does anyone have a list of the fighters??
You guys are trippin. RJJ got KTFO by GLENN JOHNSON with 1 PUNCH! You are acting like Tito is never going to hit him or something. If Tito lays one into him, look for Jones to go down and not get up.
Wow, I hope no Peter fans are on here actually claiming he won that fight. I gave him 4 rounds generously. Toney took his punches well except in the 5th and dominated that fight. He made it look easy just like I predicted he would. Toney got robbed plain and simple. Anybody else notice that the three judges were completely unheard of? I didn't recognize one name.
There is no way peter won that fught, let alone by the 5 points that thise two moron judges had him ahead by. That was bullshit. Toney was straight up robbed tonight!!
That fight was all about Showtime stroking the 25 year old fighter with a longer future and giving him the won, hoping that future fights will be on showtime. That was fucking bullshit. Toney clearly wont hat fight. Fuck that shit.
Yes, he definately needs to focus on Saturday before he thinks about his next fight cause if he dont win that one, there may not be any more big fights.
If Winky wins, and I think he will, I would like to see him vs Trinidad or Hopkins, preferably Trinidad. No DLH fight for me.
I think that shit happens ALL the time. I was scared for Winky when I saw that one of the old man judges was from the Shane vs DLH II fight and scored it like 5 points ahead for Shane. No matter what you thought about that fight I dont know how you could have it that far ahead for Shane. I think judges have to be under 65.
Yes, Floyd is more skilled, but If Gatti hurts him he will finish him unlike these punks who have hurt Floyd in the past and let him off the hook. I hope Gatti knocks his ass out.
Saying that, i bet this fight never even happens. I dont trust Arum or any other promoter on their word. It means nothing.
My local sports station is actullay pretty good about boxing. The guys who are during the day in the middle of the week actually go to Mandalay Bay for every big fight. They were just there a couple weeks ago and they had both Shane and Winky on. They also have Rich Morotta, who as you may know does boxing for Fox Sports, who does a boxing show every Saturday morning. He has all kinds of guests on. I listened on morning and he had Diego Corrales as a guest host. The station I am talking about is based in L.A, where boxing may be more of a priority than other cities.
As for ESPN, I think they could do a better job too.
