    great post tua, i agree with most of your post, just slight disagreements that are common because this is a forum.
    lets see i do not think kelly pavlik will lose that soon, but i dont think he will ever be someone considered an ATG or will remain undefetead, still i think he fights like the old time guys so i love his fights.

    I agree with almost everything you said about tua, too bad he didnt get another title shot it sucks, i think he could have beat a post prison tyson but not a prime tyson. Very similar styles but prime tyson too quick for tua, even tough i think tua has a little more power.

    of course the floyd situation always raises a lot of comments, i am not really a fan of him but he is sure a skilled boxer and i am not sure if he would duck cotto or not, but i do know it was a real let down, i mean his last fight was against the big show hahaha the cotto fight would have been great for the sport, dont be like that.

    I agree about JC vs prime toney and RJJ. Toney was too hard to hit, Roy was Roy enough said.

    Tarver its good but not that good

    I dont like mayorga but he is entretaining no question about it

    emm what else, oh yeah pacquiao would beat most of them, i cant wait for a pacquiao marquez rematch though i really think marquez should have won but thats just an opinion, edwin is just too wild has possibilities but i dont think he can beat pac, joan guzman its really good that would be a great fight.

    dont remember anything else i have to read the first post again hahaha

    great post tua man

    keep em coming
    how soon will depend on kelly's fights. if he takes it easy he might not. but if he fights top comp he probably will lose soon not that it'd be an easy win for the other guy. kelly is tough as nails and kelly would probably have a rematch clause and who's to say whoever beats him won't lose to him in the rematch.

    when i said tyson i emphasized early 2000's past prime tyson. tyson was too fast for tua in his prime. though prime vs. prime i wouldn't miss it. it'd be a great slugfest. tyson is better but tua can take a punch and the reach/height advantage is negligable.

      about kelly i think the only legitimate threats to him in the middles are winky and abraham ( taylor too but fighting him again would be pointless ) and i think he can beat both, but not by much, still i think it would be really interesting watching kelly lose and making a comeback, i think he is the kind of guy that would comeback stronger than ever

      sorry about the tyson thing my bad

      "but tua can take a punch" hahaha you can say that again, freaking samoans i dont know what they have in their skulls.

        you never know in boxing. that's why we loved it. when pacquiao won his ibf super bantam belt he was a short notice replacement. hbo was showcasing ledwaba and ledwaba's opponent pulled out of the fight and ledwaba's people picked manny. glen johnson was just suppose to be an opponent on roy's comeback trail. who took buster douglas seriously in tokyo? you never know for sure in boxing......

        as far as the tua thing. it's okay it was a long post and i'm sure you just missed it. a lot of people did. and with the samoans......it's the food. if you want your son to be an nfl linebacker or heavyweight fighter take him to samoa. he'll grow up to be big boy......

          I agree with everything INCLUDING floyd being scared OF A FIGHT with cotto. floyd don't fear him he fears the punishment he would have to take in order to get the decision victory over cotto. Floyd winning decisions against guys like Judah, baldy, and delachocha are easy for him cuz they don't have the power to hurt him. Ya'll seen what happened to Judah, gomez, quintana, etc
