White guy sped it up so we could get the opportunity to hear the Floyd RA beef...again. Bes part of the thread was the Ultimate Warrior avatar.

Great stoppage. Bayless (along with Smoger), is probably one of the, if not the best ref out there. Smart stoppages, and he lets the fighters go. I'm getting tired of hearing Joe Cortez saying "break out". Make that a drinking game, and the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight will send you to the toilet.

Where is the Toney Arreola fight? Winner gets Butterbean.

Lamont Peterson, Cotto...again, Timothy Bradley. We're gonna buy.

SMH Hope he conquers his demons one day.

Let's hope they figure out how to market boxing. Then we won't have the "THIS IS NOT UFC WTF!" crowd who can't appreciate the fights. Tye Fields w/ Ken Lakusta going for the Canadian championship...again on Sportsnet Boxing sponsored by Independent Jewellers.

It was a friend doing the shooting, but it was a Canon XHA1 with a Zeiss zoom lens.

Do they still have those prisoner fight clubs? That's where Kirkland's ending up.

Examples are Mayweather and Cotto both allow their little kids who look around 6-9 years old come and watch daddy fight. When he allowed them to watch him fight hatton, his kids were crying their asses off after daddy won. And then Cottos kid was crying like crazy after his dad got an ass beating by a boxer who probably could have been using Plaster. And some people say that if it was plaster in margs gloves that Cotto would have been out earlier but I don't find that to be true since that other boxer used plaster and it went all 12 rounds... I forget that fight, it was against the irish undefeated fighter I believe he was... I think Calzaghe does the same thing, he has kids come along and watch him fight aswell. But I also think his kids are a bit older like 13-15 yrs old around. I think... "Irish" Billy Collins vs Luis Resto. Resto Originally won a 10 Round UD. That happened with Chavez Jr, didn't chavez get stopped by some bum because chavez fought for too long. And then mediocre son came to save the day by KOing that bum later on in life. Grover Wiley. I don't mind the kids if they're old enough to understand what's going on. If they're gonna cry and become material for Jim Lampley to comment on, keep them at home.

He was great in those Punchout commercials. Magic Man and a Clay Davis...he's got the wrong career.

Kotelnik by 6th Round TKO. He's a Universum fighter fighting someone who isn't. Amir Khan falls asleep due to boredom on his feet to start the 6th, takes Kotelnik two minutes to tip him over. Bet on that.

Guzman + Anybody = Bad Attendance + Bad Ratings It's a numbers game.

Death by Cotto Mob? Margarito is going to become a float in the Puerto Rican Day Parade.

George Chuvalo (nice guy) Meldrick Taylor (nicer guy) Not a boxer, but I had a conversation with Tyson director James Toback.

I only want him back if he's part of a drywalling crew at my house, and he comes by during a cotto fight.

Leonard by a mile.

Darnell Wilson - Emmanuel Nwodo Joe Frazier - Jimmy Ellis Mike Tyson - Trevor Berbick

Super Jab. If the guy had some discipline he'd be fighting Manny now.

European fighters are taking over boxing the 2 best American fighters are old men who will retire soon (Hopkins and Mosley) European world champions Wladimir Klitschko - IBF/WBO Ring Magazine Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko - WBC Heavyweight Champion Ruslan Chagaev - WBA Heavyweight Champion Tomasz Adamek - IBF Ring Magazine Undisputed Cruiserweight champion Giacobbe Fragomeni - WBC Cruiserweight Champion Joe Calzaghe - Ring Magazine Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion Zsolt Erdei - WBO Light Heavyweight Champion Mikkel Kessler - WBA Super Middleweight Champion Lucian Bute - IBF Super Middleweight Champion Karoly Balszay - WBO Super Middleweight Champion Carl Froch - WBC Super Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham - IBF Middleweight Champion Felix Sturm - WBA Middleweight Champion Sergei Dzinziruk - WBO Light Middleweight Champion Andreas Kotelnik - WBA Light Welterweight Champion Vic Darchinyan - WBC/IBF/WBA Undisputed Super Flyweight Champion Europeans are dominating the amatuers....There are tons of top European prospects who will be future world champions. If we don't mention Valuev, he doesn't exist. Face it, the Yeti cancels out any of your good guys, and like it or not, he's the WBA champ. Bute's one for North America, he's been fighting out of Montreal his entire career, and unless Sturm actually wins a big fight, he's not worthy of being up there. The rest I don't really mind, and I don't really wanna debate the possibility of Calzaghe coming back, so fukkit. Chad Dawson - IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Jean Pascal - WBC Light Heavyweight Champion Lucian Bute - IBF Super Middleweight Champion Kelly Pavlik - WBC, WBO, Ring Magazine Middleweight Champion Vernon Forrest - WBC Jr. Middleweight Champion Shane Mosely - WBA Welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto - WBO Welterweight Champion Andre Berto - WBC Welterweight Champion Timothy Bradley - WBC, WBO Jr. Welterweight Champion Juan Manuel Lopez - WBO Jr. Featherweight Champion See? North America has Alphabet Soup too.

Wlad or Vitali by boring KO. I'll know the round when I wake up.

Gamboa - Lopez - Lopez by mid to late round KO, both go balls out, but I give Lopez the edge due to his size. Berto - Ortiz - Berto by UD, he controls the fight, Ortiz hits the canvas if he presses too much, but that may be latent bias from the Maidana fight. Hopkins - Jones - Hopkins by wide UD. I see B-Hop obsessively preparing for this. Jones is an open book.

Don't believe anything Roach says at this point, he loves talking trash. If manny retires at this point, nothing else to prove, but I am getting tired of Henry Armstrong comparisons.

I like Manny a lot, but he's not on the same level, in my opnion. Still an ATG.

Who is this "Joe"? Calzaghe? No clue here. If it is, Johnson overwhelms him with quality punches. UD, good fight for Johnson.

And he's still living it up on Mike Tyson and Meldrick Taylor's (and most likely others') purse money.

Maybe a bad choice of words, what I'm trying to talk about is the problems within boxing. I never said it was dying, and I know it is not close to that. The word "save" was more about saving boxing from itself. The organizations that are more interested in making money than determining who's the best, boxers to hide behind promoters and aren't in the game to prove their the best by fighting the best. Don't confuse me with a casual fan, I've been watching boxing for 12 years (I'm 23), and I was merely talking about some of the roadblocks it has in making the best possible fights happen. I'm not comparing boxing to UFC, I know they're very different, I was merely posturing the idea of promoting boxing under a similar model where it's easier to make fights, and have deep divisions. UFC isn't on boxing's level and never will be.

DLH ain't done....hehe I'd got with Hopkins, Mosely, or Pacquiao...PBF's too much of a mystery.

Both were over rated fighters who destroyed guys who just came at them or fighters they were able to out slug. But neither was able to hold on to the top spot for long and both were dominated by slick, defensive boxers with power. Trinidad got blasted by Hopkins and Wright and Margarito loses to Williams and gets destroyed by Mosley. You'll be seeing Margarito as a light heavyweight in a couple of years. Where he'll get schooled by a somehow younger looking Bernard Hopkins.

Kick him in the ****ing head. That's some MMA shit. Take the slap and sue him for his boat.

I heard something a while back about Cintron and MMA (would work since he was a wrestler in High School), and now Mayorga's doing that shit. Ray Mercer even. Any good boxer can whoop any MMA fighter 90% of the time (conservative estimate given flash knockouts and ground fighting, MMA guys can't take a punch like a boxer. UFC knows its market and plays to it well, but it doesn't have staying power. It's not memorable. You ask someone to name a classic MMA fight, maybe they can give you one, you ask someone about classic boxing matches, you can be talking for DAYS, you know where you were, who you watched them with, and every big shot and knockdown. People say that MMA is still new, but you can still talk at length about fights that happened in the last year. No other sport can claim that.
