    Boxing Revitalization

    More fights should be on HBO maybe one day they'll get back on network, non-cable. Unfortunately this may not be they fight to show "everyone else". They should consider a fight with more explosive promise to attract the casual observers. Otherwise, they give it one shot, see a hit and hold fest and never look for the next match.

      This is just more proof that people will not pay to see two cowardly fighters have a business meeting. Hopkins has been afraid to go toe to toe with anyone in his life. He would rather start at his opponents and throw 5 punches a round. I have more respect for Calzaghe, but he needs to be a man and sit down on his punches so he can get the knockout.

        Or that ******s like you who lack social and mental skills have to retread tires, and have to be very selective as to what PPVs they buy.

          Would you pay for this PPV? Be serious.

            Okay, you got me... No.

            But only because they are both old, and it isn't going to mean much to the future of boxing.

            It does astound me that you can't appreciate how well some fighters can hit and not be hit...

            I know I am impressed by the fact that Cory Spinks lasted 12 against Mayorga, and got the judges to agree the he took less punishment than Mayorga did. One flush shot from Mayorga would have been the end for Spinks.

            But I'm sure you are pissed because Spinks fought like a coward.

              Let's just say there is a reason Spinks has 3 fans. I know you would pay for a PPV of Cotto-Margarito because those are real fighters and true warriors.

                Yes I would.

                I do think there is a reason to appreciate defense also though.

                Your boy has to get by Judah first... which he should do, unless Judah finally decides to fight for 12 rounds, and even then it's iffy.

                If Judah really does show up to box and use his speed for the fight, Margarito might be in trouble. I only best on Judah for fun though... I doubt he is going to win.

                  I would be worried about Judah if he could fight for more than 4 rounds. He will get knocked out.

                      Plain and basic common sense will tell you that Judah is the boxing equivalent of a "one minute man" just like yourself. He won't go more than 4 hard rounds and he will be left in tears like Cintron once he feels Margarito's pressure and power.
