I've always been a big James Toney fan. His unique style is something that I have always admired. I'm wondering, what fights of James Toney's were the most exciting/did he display his skills the best? I'm looking for fights when he was between middleweight-light heavyweight, maybe cruiserweight if its really good. I have seen the Jirov, Barkley, Nunn, Williams, and RJJ fight and am looking for some other fights from the days when he was in somewhat decent shape. Any reccomendations?

I've had trouble finding a legitimate source that says how many rounds the Toney v Courture fight is. I'd imagine it would be the regular 3 x 5min rounds, but I read on one sit it was going to be 5 rounds. Does anybody have any info on this?

I'm looking for fighters who fit this criteria to see if I can learn some things to implement in my own fighting style. I'm looking for fighters who are orthodox, not overly gifted with superb reflexes, has a relative standard type of defense, throw a lot of jabs and/or base everything off the jab. Fighters between welterweight and light heavy-weight are preferred but are willing to look at all weight classes. Thanks!

What a fight. Hard to find another fight in which a fighter literally puts every bit of energy into it, especially when he's winning the way Taylor was. I think the ref made the right call to stop the fight, but damn, what a heart breaker for Taylor. I think if he would have lightened off the gas pedal just a bit after round 9, it would not have been such a difficult fight down the stretch. Your thoughts on the fight and the decision?

I haven't a whole lot of fights from Froch, but from what I have seen, I am VERY suprised he hasn't been lit up. He keeps his hands so low, even after he throws they generally remain low, and WHILE he throws his opposite hand stays low. I just can't believe he hasn't been knocked out yet. Usually the fighters that can do this and get away with it are superior athletically and have extremely quick reflexes and great counter punchers, and I just don't see these qualities in Froch. Maybe I'm just underestimating him or not seeing the whole picture. Obviously he has heart, a sturdy chin and is very tough, but is this all that keeps the man on his feet? Just wondering your opinions...

I was just watching Pacquiao v Barerra I, and realized Paquiao was a 4 to 1 underdog going into that fight. It got me wondering what fights Floyd went into as an underdog, especially a big underdog...?

Would there be any reason to dehydrate early in training camp. I'm watching the 24/7 now, and they mentioned him being dehydrated in the first episode. Would there be any reason for intentionally doing that? Also, when a fighter dehydrates in order to make weight, is healthier to sweat out as much water as possible close to the weigh in, or do it over the period of a few weeks?

Come fight night, it'll be a full 16 1/2 months since Mosley has been in the ring. He is a seasoned vet, but considering his age and his recent family issues, could this be a problem? I feel this is a very underplayed issue, especially considering it's Mayweather he's fighting here.

Whenever I hear people debating RJJ greatness, I rarely hear anyone mention his win over James Toney. Toney was 45-0 going into the fight, he may have had weight problems considering he weighed around 17 lbs over the limit on fight night (I think), and he looked pretty sluggish in there, but this could have been partly due to how good RJJ was. What do ya'll think about this?

In the 3rd 24/7 episode, he says be watches no film on his opponent and that he adjusts in the ring. It seemed he also implied that he doesn't come in with a game plan. Do you think that all of that is true or that he is just BSing??

After becoming a boxing fan only in recent years, I think it's hard to grasp how great historical boxing moments are without being around in the present time for them. For example, Paquiao beating De La Hoya probably won't go down in history and won't be remembered for the upset it was. There were many people saying the fight should not even be aloud to happen, Yet Paquiao layed a whoopin to him. My question now, is what was the public's opinion of Roy Jones moving up to Heavyweight before he fought Ruiz? Was he expected to win a UD? Did people he was stupid for moving up to Heavyweight? What did people think at the time?

If Margo had beaten Mosley the way he had beaten Cotto, or worse, would he be receiving as much scrutiny for the plaster wraps as he recieving currently by fans? With Margo getting beaten like that after being caught with the plaster padding, it's easy to see why people can make the allegations that it was night and day the way he was with and without the pads. I believe if Margo would have won convincingly, this wouldn't be as big of a deal. Your thoughts?

I as wondering if anyone has a picture of malignaggi's tattoo on his back. I found some pictures with glimpses of it, but i'm having one hell of a time trying to find one with the whole thing. Any help would be appreciated..
