I respect the poll results, i.e. Castillo-Corrales by a mile. Just when you think Corrales was about to go, wham! bam!, who wasn't shocked?!!! It was a fight that wasn't over till it was over! Kudos!
However, I voted for Terrible-Pacman. Why? In terms of anticipation and excitement (and PPV sales) that match generated, both before and during the fight (nobody blinked during rounds)it almost killed everyone with eagerness and anxiousness. But above all, it lived up to the fans expectation, (at least in terms of the competitiveness of the fight, coz a lot of guys wanted and expected Pacman to win by KO). With Pacman and Terrible getting on it, it was good to the last drop, i mean, last round.
This is why I rate Salvador Sanchez as the greater Mexican fighter than JCC. :cool:
If the two fought (SS vs JCC), who do you think would've won? :confused: :p
chavez was a great fighter and an icon in mexico and of the sport... but the fact is his record is padded he fought a taxi driver and a garbage man ...i went to boxrec and added up some numbers of chavez thru his 1st. 44 fights and this what i came up with :
1. the win-loss record of his opponets was 203-213..
2. of these fighters 11 made their pro debut against
chavez.
3.of the opponents in his 1st. 44 fights only 10 had
wining records and i was generous i just counted if they
had more wins than losses..
4. 26 of his 1st. 44 opponents had 6 fights or less prior
to facing chavez..
i am sorry but the numbers do not lie if this is not padding your record i don't know what is.. this should answer your question on weather he fought bums thru his 1st. 40 plus fights ..remember i only did his 1st. 44 fights, he fought guys with horrible records after this here are some examples :
1. in his 51st. fight his opponent was roberto lindo record
who had a record of 1-12..
2. in his 67 th. fight his opponent was ramon aramburu who
had a record of 0-0.
3. in his 79th. fight his opponent was ignacio pedromo who
had a record of 1-0...
these 3 examples above took place when he was allready established with atleast 50 fights and was allready a world champion what would people say if tito or dlh at 32 or 34 fights fought a guy with 0-0 or 0-1 record ????.. so why should chavez be excempt??....like i said in my opening i think chavez was a great fighter and a hof had some great fights and was a warrior.. i just explained why chavez record is padded now you or anyone else tell me why it is not ??
whooa!!! :eek: ;)

Yo! Chups! I didn't know Morales got nice big booty, har har har!!! nice editing job there. Gave you good karma for that!
juan manuel marquez was just stripped of his IBF Featherweight championship because no promoter was willing to spend a minimum of $50,000 on a purse bid for his mandatory IBF defense. hes also expected to lose his WBA title too.
serves him right.
check out ESPN.com for more.
What's he goona lose next? His pants I guess? OOh la la. Then we'll see if he still got balls down there then. Interesting...hmmm :rolleyes:
These rankings tell you two things; the WBC is biased and corrupt (but we knew that) the current heavyweights are the worst in a loooong time (but I think we knew that too)
I dunno pal, but far as I'm concerned, all the so-called alphabet rankings (WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO, etc etc) are biased and corrupt, favoring and catering to certain ethnic groups to please certain races, all in the name of -what else- pride and money! But hey, that's part of making boxing dirty- and thus-exciting! Some of the more exciting matches are non-title and are not sanctioned by any of these boxing bodies. Take for instance the upcoming Morales-Pacquiao double header. More exciting than any of the heavyweight title matches lately. And speaking of the heavyweight division, don't you think it's gotten too boring lately? Just my thoughts - peace!
This will be a good match up for sure. It will be anybody's game. Chi could be relentless and has good stamina. Rocky is hungry for recognition. I hope it pushes through! :boxing:
