Orlando Canizales was a good guy, Ricky Hatton reminded me of him with the **** he did against Tackie.

[GEOFFHAYES]

Standing in front of Tackie, throwing a quick little combo then stepping away with nimble feet. Great stuff, reminded me of Canizales abit.

No, he didn't, but he beat 60-odd other ****s before, and basically re-defined Mexican boxing as we know it.

That daft statement is a lot like saying Spielberg did nothing for ***ish history/celluloid history before/after Schlindler's List...

Jesus...is there something wrong on this forum?

If you don't respect McCallum as a great fighter, then you yourself can no longer be taken seriously. Watch him as an older fighter go tooth and nail with James Toney in a close-as-can-be fight that displayed brilliant skill on both sides, then come back and diss him.

If you do, you are a fool. Not to be rude, that's the truth though.

Period.

What the hell are you talking about?

Meaning in the ring....Chavez accomplished little after 1996. He hardly won any big fights from 1996-on, therefore he doesn't make the list for the greatest fighters of the last TEN years.

If we're going to have guys there who fought after 1996 but didn't win any big fights in that time frame, then we ought to have Leonard and Duran there as well.
