MIC573...that's very close to the truth about HBO & Top Rank. Floyd has very little power with HBO and has to take what he can get right now. I know it sounds weird but it's the truth.
I think that Ouma can outbox him if he chooses to go with that gameplan since Kofi has difficulty with guys that give him movement but it's going to be interesting if Ouma goes straight at him.
Yeah this is going to be a great matchup of African fighters. It's very rare that two African's fight each other especially for a title. Kofi told me that the only way that he would fight Kassim would be for a title.
I agree it's a bad matchup for Freitas but it would be better if he got beat by the best in boxing rather than possibly lose to a lesser name. Not to mention he would get the biggest payday of his career and he get mad respect for stepping up in weight to take on Floyd. After the way he quit against Corrales, he needs to do something to get his reputation back.
Yo sis....I'm not sure what you mean but I am referring to how Boxingtalk knowingly lied by saying they are the first one to post up Cotto-Branco and the Mosley fight. Greg knew it because I told him 11 days ago!! It's plain to see

I don't think that this fight has "officially" been announced yet without Judah on the card but ringside tickets should be at most $250. Mormeck vs Braithwaite was a unification match and are bigger names. Shoot...before the Gatti fight, you could get ringside seats to a Mayweather fight for $250 so this card should go no higher than that.
Toney will not be champ again unless he beats a champion without testing positive for steriods. There is a 0% chance that the decision will be reversed and the title given back to Toney.

RabbitPunchBoxing.com had this news and more on 07/10! 11 days before the so called "Remember where you heard it first" website!. I even sent Greg this news on 07/13 to correct him that he wasn't the first one with the Mosley news. See my email below.

Hey that's cool Sis. Didn't know Richard was your dad. Awesome! Toney being reinstated was common knowledge since he was suspended for 90 days beginning April 30th. Doesn't take a press release from them to tell us he will come off the suspension July 30th. I'm not trying to claim that we are a better website than Boxingtalk or that we have more breaking news then they do. I'm not that stupid to make that claim. We have a $0 budget with a handfull of writers while BT charges $5/month, has about 100 employees and they all work full time! They should be ashamed of themselves for getting outscooped by us.

Yeah I read the article but if James Toney tested positive for steriods right after the fight, he loses his title. I'm not sure how accurate this "new" test is but I don't think the WBA would have given the title back to Ruiz unless they saw he tested positive. If in fact it turns out that there were no steriods in his urine then I agree that he should be given the title back but it wouldn't hold my breathe on that happening.
Just so you know...Floyd and Zab were close friends for a very long time but Floyd disrespected Zab lately so often with some of the things he said that Zab got extremely pissed off at him and wanted to take the fight to the streets. You have to look at who we are talking about. Zab is a true thug in every meaning of the word. He was a street fighter and grew up tough. Lil Floyd grew up in a pampered environment and never had to suffer a day in his life.
Lil Floyd WANTS to be a thug but he is not one. Zab IS a thug for real. This is evident by the way this whole situation went down between them. Zab was going to f*** up Floyd on the streets with some of his boys but Floyd backed down and APOLOGIZED to Zab. Zab accepted his apology but they are NOT cool with each other by a long shot.
Lil Floyd surrounds himself with drud dealers and wannabe thugs but when it comes to the streets, he is soft. He got some BLOODS from L.A. to be with him at all times these days. I like Floyd though so don't get me wrong. I would favor him to beat Zab in the ring but don't make the mistake that they are still best friends though.
It's actually supposed to be more funny and entertaining than an actual trivia contest but I'm glad to know that everyone knows the answers! :)
