Unbelievable

Your comments are not accurate. I remember when Johnson had a fight set up against Calzaghe at 175 long before the Lacy and Kessler fights. The fight was signed and Calzaghe backed out, claiming he had an injury. I remember reading that boxing writers and officials thought that he was out of shape and that was why he backed out. They rescheduled the fight, but the only way Johnson would take it was if Calzaghe gave him more money. They signed that fight. However, Johnson then received an offer to fight Jones for more money in Jones comeback bout after being KO'd by Tarver. He took the fight and KO'd Jones. Calzaghe did not want anything to do with Johnson after that. The last I heard about a bout between the two, Calzaghe was demanding that Johnson come down to 168 to fight him. That was after Johnson had fought Tarver twice. Johnson couldn't make it and turned the fight down. However, at that same time he was demanding Johnson come down to 168, Calzaghe was trying to secure a fight against Clinton Woods at 175. It was after that time that Calzaghe then moved up to 175 to fight an over-the-hill Hopkins and Roy Jones. I never knew about this. Thanks for that.

Just because he says it isn't a robbery doesn't make it true.

I'd say Kessler and Abraham have got the power to do it. But, since Kessler faces him Froch first, I'd go with Kessler.

Bute and Andrade would have been good additions to the tournament. It would also make sense, since they're fighting a week after the Ward-Kessler fight. Unfortunately, HBO bought the rights to show Bute-Andrade II.

We can't know for sure. We can just assume and I assume he used it in the Cotto fight.

I don't think it's that he wasn't good. It's that, stylistically, it was a wrong fight for Hatton.

Khan would earn a UD.

People will always speculate whether Margarito used illegal wraps against Cotto. But I think the 'Cotto became ruined' allegations will drop a lot.

If Rocky doesn't fight, it can't be that good.

Definitely. There's no point in continuing.

It's just that people want to be entertained leading up to the fight. Last night was not entertaining. It'll still be a great fight, though.

I'd give him full credit. Pacquiao is the #1 P4P fighter and fought at welterweight before.

Dirrell won the fight. Anyone who thinks he didn't must not know much about boxing.

I know he's still young but after 40 fights you should step your game up.

I wonder why the fight's being held in PR when they're both from America. Is this gonna be televised?

Maybe they look a bit alike. lol. But their styles are a lot different.

He's not MJ. Don't compare.

It's not the actual IBF but the international version of the title. Sort of like a lower version of it.

Not likely.

Probably not exciting but interesting. I want to see how it ends up. Personally, I have Valuev winning this fight, as bad as he is.

right cheers guys it just confuses me at times i get it now so 147 is like the maximum weight for WW? can it be anything from 141-147? Yup, indeed.

He lost to Oscar and beat an old Whitaker. Besides that, it's good.

It's 145. The belt's still on the line since it's still within the welterweight limit.

Barrera was bigger than Pacquiao in their first fight.

The longer he waits, the less credibility Mayweather will get.

I think this will be an interesting fight. Plus, it's for two titles.

I wish him the best and hope he pulls through alright. But really, he should vacate the titles.

I think this is an interesting fight. No doubt they're both way past their primes but it'll still be interesting.

I hope he gets better. The Dragon is probably the best featherweight in the world, right now.

They would probably knock him out. He's not a natural heavyweight.
