The Castro interview was recorded 2 weeks ago I think , and it was split in two parts, part 2 will be emitted tomorrow!!!

It´s gonna be real weird....... I don´t imagine what kind of questions maradona is going to ask....and he will need a translator , so I don´t expect a fluent interview....

TYSON AT "LA NOCHE DEL DIEZ"

Unbelievable...but Iron Mike is going to be at Maradona´s TV Show... La noche del diez this monday.

He will arrive to Argentina for the first time. I think it´s gonna be a great interview between two former prodigies!!!!

Yeah, but it is an achievement, and I consider it fair to mention.

Tyson reminds me of Diego Maradona in various aspects. And as Maradona he is a loved/hated person, but always at a great scale

ok, I like Tyson but I´m not a "blind" fan. Mike is washed up at least since 1995. But I read some posts about the 70´s and what Holmes said. Watching the fight between Ali and Foreman that took place in Zaire.... I don´t what would have happened because Ali was a real master... but both f...

Re: Count

point four: Firpo didnt deserve a shot at the title in the first place and was probably happy that he recieved a career high payday just by stepping into the ring with Dempsey. I've read that after the fight Firpo also made a nice living touring his home country showing films of his wild fight agai...

I agree with that...... 20 seconds?? are you sure? but JD was helped by people to recover from the KO. IMO Firpo clearly won that fight, I never said that he deserved to be the champion....cause JD was in another level in "boxistic" terms.

FIRPO / DEMPSEY......

One of the more (the most?) robberies in the history of boxing. Firpo won the fight.....he was the new champ......the report says "at the count of nine....." dempsey was more than 9 sec out of the ring....and he was helped by the audience to be on his feet again...... what´s your opinion a...

ok. Carlos was rude, a man without education, but he never seemed to be arrogant. I am from Argentina... i watched a lot of Monzon fights and the interviews after the fight.... Apart from this, when he went to jail he was interviewed a hundred times, he taught boxing to the inmates and he had perfec...

Monzon, Hagler, Ketchel, Greb, Charley Burley, who really knows who was the best ever at middle? I do know however, that all of them would have beaten Hopkins p.s. Monzon was an arrogant murdering arsehole arrogant???? I wrote Monzon, not Ali. Monzon was the humblest person in the world (of boxing).

Mike never was a heartless boxer..... . Putting aside the infamous holy bite...he always was very respectful on the ring..... he never taunted anybody like Ali did. His most spectacular knock out.....hmmm...maybe against johnson (dont remember properly the name) in 1985. I recommend to see the reply...

THE GREATEST MIDDLEWEIGHT

By these days carlos monzon would be 62. he was imo the greatest middleweight i´ve ever seen. (best straight ever) I wish he could live more ´cause he died too young (at 50) in a terrible car accident. Monzon was the best..... hopkins, oscar, tito, leonard or even hagler wouldn´t beat him. One of th...

Very difficult to predict....... Ali never fought with someone similar to Tyson and viceversa. Liston could be the nearest approach but Young Tyson was incredible faster and better boxer than Sonny.

I think its impossible to predict....
