Hey Folks, What's on your menu when a fight is on? I'm usually cooking an Indian meal, any advances? Wig

What you guys eating and drinking for the Hopkins - Calzaghe fight? I'm cooking up beef madras.

Hey folks Anyone got any Sopcast links for this one? Post them if you do... Wig

Hey folks We got anything here yet? Post if you do... Wig

Hey folks Anyone got anything yet? Post if you have Wig

Hey folks Anyone got anything early doors? Wig

Hey folks, I know this might have been done before, but can we make this the OFFICIAL Vasquez - Marquez Sopcast link, please? Anyone got a link?

Hey dudes, Sopcast links for this scrap, anyone got any? Wig

Hey you guys I'm not one to trawl YouTube for anything else other than the last big fight we never saw, but I have stumbled upon some boxing 'chat shows' on YouTube (independent, guys who stuck a cam in front of them and talked boxing), namely p4pboxing and Guard Your Grills Boxing, and a couple others. You guys rate any of them?

Dudes Edwin Valero scrap tonight. Anyone got a Sopcast link for that scrap. I know it's not as high profile as Hatton - Mayweather, but some of us like the fights that aren't exactly in the limelight. Shoot Wig

Hey Folks Dunno if anyone's covered this before, but I just saw Ricky Hatton on Sky TV saying he's up for a rematch with Floyd!!! Holy shit. Does anyone see shades of Mayweather - Castillo II here?

Anyone fancy Earl to upset the apple-cart? I do.

Dudes Who do you reckon would win this one? Wig

How's Joe's profile going in the US since none of you Americans knew anything about him until he ripped Jeff Lacy's head off for a full fight. Just curious.

Hey folks Got tickets for this one, who do you think? Is Harris one step above Witter on this one. The press over here seem to think Witter will have his hands full. What do you guys think? Ian

Hey folks On here a couple of days ago, talking Arturo Gatti, I brought up the Trilogy (that one better than the Star Wars one) and someone said Gatti - Ward was 'two unexceptional fighters fighting an exceptional three fights' or words to that effect. Any thoughts on this? I've chewed on this for a day or so and come to no concrete conclusion, just wanted to get a few other thoughts on this. Ian

Dudes After Floyd - DLH don't you approach each next big fight with a little niggle in the back of your mind that it might be a letdown like that one was? Or am I just being a pessemist. I'm ready for the Hatton fight, I just hope it isn't just another DLH - Mayweather. Actually, to go back on my argument a touch, maybe the fight wasn't that bad, it just never lived up to the media hype it was expected to...Food for thought... Ian

Dudes What time UK time does Hatton get in the ring with Castillo, roughly? Ian

Dudes How many empty seats are there at the JMM - Barrera fight? I hope it's not indicative of boxing at the minute. Ian

Dudes You checked out Ponce De Leon against that really old guy? Dude's nothing more than a jumed up guy with a bad ponytail. Check out ringside seats, row two, opposite press row, there's a beached whale there, some old fat woman who's taking up three seats.

Dudes There was a bit of a kick-off in Boxing News this week about a Gerald McClellan benefit dinner that happened in London. People said they shouldn't have done the thing due to Gerald abusing dogs for a living outside boxing, and some suggested Gerald got what he deserved against Benn...I'd just like your opinions on Gerald being a good boxer who enjoyed watching fucking vicious pit bull terriers kill weak meek other dogs, and whether or not Benn did us all a good favour... Ian

Dudes Would a prime Gatti have beaten a prime Hatton? 140 weight. What do you think? I'm just watching Gatti-Ward I, and I'm kind of thinking Gatti would have. Ian

Folks Is there any way this Mayweather - De La Hoya could be one huge letdown. How many times has a fight been hammed up to be the greatest ever, and then it's turned out to be nothing short of an average fight. I've not seen as much hype about a fight since Hagler - Hearns (obviously that one hit the spot in terms of entertainment), I just have a sneaky feeling we might be disappointed. Just a gut feeling. I hope we're not. Discuss Ian

Greatest fight ever, folks, in your opinion. Fun, but serious thread...just wanted to get a few opinions so it might open my eyes (and a few others' eyes) to some new fights I might want to see. Shoot Ian

Come on folks, lets have a huge discussion about these three scraps. Are these three scraps the best we'll ever see? I rated Coralles -Castillo over these before last week, but after scrutinising these three fights for the last week, I'm rethinking. Debate, folks... Shoot.. Ian

Dudes Anyone any idea how to use this? I've lost so many fights due to not being able to use this. Any ideas? Ian

Folks I'm just sort of wondering what kind of people contribute to this forum. I'm a regular guy, a teacher who loves his boxing. What kind of folk do we have on here? Boxers, trainers, journos, regular guys, high-rollers? I don't know? I'm just trying to get a feel as to who I'm debating with. No smart answers, folks, please, just educated responses... Ian

Dudes I haven't seen all of Floyd Mayweather's scraps, so I'm not a leading authority on the man, obviously some folk on here are. All I need to know is this - has anyone ever troubled Mayweather in his pro career? I saw DeMarcus Corley wobble him (I think!!) early on in their fight, but I haven't seen anyone else. Any takers? Ian

Folks What do we think of Hatton dodging everyone credible apart from an old Kosta? And Calzaghe dodging anyone good apart from Jeff Lacy? Much as I love us English folk, those two boxers shamed us...Hatton fighting Urango instead of Mayweather, Cotto and everyone else; Calzaghe dodging everone credible and fighting the UFC guy no-one gives a fuck about. Discuss. Ian

Folks I sit in pubs lots and discuss boxing. Whenever anyone asks me who the greatest boxer ever is, I'm always inclined to answer "Oscar De La Hoya". Am I miles out, or just deluded. Don't send me any smart answers or bitchy messages, this is an intelligent forum, remember. I only put this message up for discussion... Hit it... Ian
