Truth. The only thing "golden" about Oscar anymore is his credit card.
The thing about Oscar is that he's very iconic to the sport, he's always going to be involved with boxing, I'm guessing that's one of the reasons they put him there. Especially for this era...

They put him there because he is the biggest name is boxing.
A guy who never faced a real challenge, a guy with a glass jaw, a guy who picks on 60 year old Mexicans, a guy who dresses up like women, and a guy who's never faced a single well known opponet. Awesome.
Kidding of course, but I would replace Calzaghe with Hopkins because Hopkins has earned it more. Hell, if Gatti could be on the last one, surely Hops would make this one.
I'm mad at myself I figured out which person was which statement. People love to hate now don't they budd.

Pretty much, that's why I decided to run with it.
For real though, I think Wladimir Klitschko deserves a spot up there somewhere. Dude is the only reason I even bother with the Heavyweight division at all and he's proven a lot in recent years.
I'd replace Oscar with Pavlik and Pacquiao with Klitschko....if I wouldn't be stoned by the pinoys.
Pavlik was originally going to be there, but he's still a bit green and let's see if he wins his rematch and then wins another big fight. Also, with two Top Rank fighters, Pacquiao and Cotto, already there, it may look a bit suspect to have three Top Rank fighters in the header. De La Hoya is still active and his May fight in 08, regardless of opponent, will be the biggest event of the year and outdo every ppv in 08 guaranteed.
Corrales was replaced because sooner or later the site and the fans need to move on. Like someone said earlier, if we kept every deceased fighter in the header, we would have no active fighters.
