Well, Roy's last few fights haven't helped. His problem is he couldn't function when the chips were down. His legacy has looked worst, while someone like Hopkins' coninues to look better. Roy spent most of his career as a light heavy champion. But in his prime, not once did he fight the best fighte...

Wasnt Roy Joney saying he wanted to fight Woods, a few months back? I know it fell through, but why? Did Roy chicken out? Anybody has more info on why the fight wasnt made?

Thanks

According to Teletext, Toney is asking for 2.5 million (not sure if it is pounds or dollars).... Team Klitchsko think it is crazy money, but if you think it is for a portion of the most prestigious prize in boxing... and the earnings the last great champions (Tyson, Holyfield and Lewis) were earnin...

Yes, sounds to me like a token offer they know he will turn down. I reckon that Manny knows that Toney has the potential to be a difficult opponent, and so made sure the offer was derisory. Thing is, right now, what are Toney's other options? A rematch with Rahman wouldn't sell like hotcakes. Value...

I thought Byrd won the 1st, Wlad was just dominating! :o I had Byrd barely taking the first round as well on landed punch output. After that he lost badly though. He run out of answers during the second after Wlad rocked him with a right cross. The power surprised Byrd; he didnt think Wlad got so m...

The guy was extra tough. He went twice the distance with LaStarza and once with Archie Moore too.
There were some very tough fellows then. They also fought more often then the pampered once we have now.

Is Roy leaving HBO? I didn't know that, I know he is not one fight and out - he wants another crack at Tarver apparently. Didnt they fight 3 times already?? what would be the point? Tarver koed him once and easily outclassed and outpointed Roy once already. Tarver beat him 2 out of 3 and arguably 3...

I thought Ruiz won his rounds bigger and should have won the fight - he had the ability. I would tip him in a rematch. Should it matter who won bigger rounds though? If Ruiz battered Valuev from pillar to post for 5 rounds, but valuev just edged 7 surely valuev wins the fight. The 3 people who scor...

Valuev is still being underestimated. His skills may not be top level, his speed may be slow and his defense may not be as tight as it could be. But he has the longest jab in the top 40 ranks and has a very good and powerful jab. His height is a defensive tool in itself, especially when combined wit...

I called it first! I hope Evander gets it, and wins!! :TU: :box: :box: :box: :TU: Holifield was one of my top favorite boxers. But at 43 and moving like in knee deep water, Valuev is the worst match up for the old warrior. Did you see how Ruizs face looked after his match with the giant? Now imagin...

Say what you want about Tua but I would bet anyone he beats Valuev. As slow as he started against Salif he punched with more variation then ever before especially with body shots. I would fancy Tua, against him as he is slow and doesnt have the know-how or punch power to keep guys off him Tuaman de...

There is no way on earth this version of Holyfield will even win a round let alone the fight. He cant even get his punches off these days he will get outworked easily. One the plus side Valuev cant punch his way out of a wet paper bag (for his size) so he wont get hurt too badly. Perhaps Valuev doe...

After 2 good rounds, Holifield will be gassed and then Valuev will take over, pepper him with jabs and stop him in the mid-rounds. Total mismatch.
Holifield would get slaughtered.

If the fights goes through, Holifield might end up a vegetable.

I am afraid Mesi will be killed in the ring.
One of these days he will fight a puncher, take a few head shots and give boxing yet another black eye. There will be renewed calls to ban boxing.

All respect to Mesi and his warrior heart. But he is an accident waiting to happen.

Tua is not interested in fighting any live opponents. His last 2 fights were pahtetic and against very low quality opponents. Not only is he too heavy but also slower than before his 2 year vacation. Evn his power seems to have decreased a lot. Tua is just not top 10 material anymore. Perhaps not ev...

Ruiz has to fight Valuev next, a win vs Donald provided. The fight is rumoured to take place at christmas time in Berlin...... :box: Wrong McBride showed up on Irish TV and said that a fight in early December has been agreed Ruiz should have no problem with McBride. Valuev should have no problem wi...

By all accounts Samuel Peter is very good in training, doesn't go out partying , shows in his physic this time. I'm still going to go for Wlad in this one, but it is going to be very interesting fight to watch. One question for you all, seeing as Vitali is WBC champion , what would happen if Wlad w...

Easy win for Wlad. Early ko. Wont reach the 5th round. Peter will be pumelled hard and will prove his chin is very deficient vs Wlads right hand.

They live in the dark, mysterious hills of Prussia, venturing out only to attack the passing Roman legions. the Roman legions never reached Prussia. But I get your joke. :TU: Anyway, Holyfield can still beat plenty of fighters. And this guy who is lined up now is only 6-1 so he is even smaller than...

Holyfield can still fight. Just not at the level he used to. OR at the level needed to beat the top belt holders. But make no mistake about it: the guys with a world ranking under the top 50 would get a beat down from the 43 year old Holyfield. Butterbean can throw a punch. Do you really think Butte...

Holyfield is 42. He'll be 43 on October 19. NO ONE has any right to keep Evander from boxing. He is passing ALL medical tests. Evander will be undisputed heavyweight champion again. To be undisputed again, Holyfield would need to defeat all main belt holders. That mean Holyfield would need to beat ...

Donald went 10 rounds against Vitali. Ok, a long time ago, but Vitali didnt exactly shine in that one. Valuev will ko Donald a lot faster. Inside 7. Ruiz will lose if he fights Valuev. Their styles dont match at all. Jab and grab against a guy with a longer jab, bigger height and a lot stronger than...

Roy has been inactive for too long to have a decent chance in this fight. He may win the first 2 rounds, but then he will get winded and will start taking a beating. Tarver should win by stoppage inside 7 rounds. Roy will not have enough skills and grit to beat Tarver at this point. With his huge sp...

There was never a heart attack in Holyfields case. He had a misdiagnosed heart condition. But not a heart attack, and definitely not in the ring during a fight. Think about it: could a man with heart attack keep fighting? Come on. If that were true it would be the biggest miracle ever documented.
