That one landed below the belt.

what are ur top 10 of all time??? 1. lennox lewis 2. bob fitzsimmons 3. frank bruno 4. henry cooper 5.Tommy farr 6. Don Cockell 7. Herbie hide 8. Joe Bugner 9. Len Harvey 10. Bruce woodcock Pretty good. But it's amazing the dropoff from the top two on the list as you get down even to number three i...

No sympathy for Warren. He's given us too much crap over the years and whined like a school kid anytime somebody from Sky asks a probing question. As for Hatton showing disloyalty.....please. This a boxing promoter we are talking about here and not some nieve ageing manager. If Frank had been smart...

I don't think Warren should be blamed entirely for Joe C - that is mostly just Joe being reluctant and feigning injuries. I agree that's it's a combination of both guys being reluctant to get in there with live dogs. Warren because he doesn't wanna see one of his prize investments get caught and Ca...

mayweather has a tendency to move and stop and use that high held guard to take time out and then blast back with combinations. :box: he's never been a sugar ray leonard, always on the move type of fighter. people on here keep saying mayweather will move all night and pick him off and that is not t...

Call me crazy. But what's wrong with a fighter wanting to make the best fights out there? If Ricky would've stayed put with FW he'd be stuck fighting a bunch of tomato cans for the rest of his career. For proof see Joe Calzaghe. And who's Frank kidding? M'Baye? Please. Vivian Harris outboxed him wit...

I'm sorry. But what's the relevance of being afraid of cats to Hatton's chances against Mayweather?

I love when people call someone a natural "*****weight" When they come into the fight 20 fornicating pounds higher than the weigh in. That's an accurate point. And this is why people make the argument for day-of weigh in's or a return to the original 8 classes. It's a point that few peopl...

No his next fight with Mitchell is at 140. Don't know if Hatton will accept the challenge or not Actually the contracted weight for Mayweather-Mitchell is 147. The bottom line on Floyd is clear though. He's very quickly turning into another Roy Jones Jr. Talks about big fights....talks talks talks....

The contracted weight for this fight is 147. I don't know if I can say it more clearly. Ok. So Sharmba won the first round. But he got knocked down 4 times and knocked out in the 4th. That isn't a competitive fight. Sharmba rarely got outboxed when he was a younger fighter. He's 35 now and by your o...

I'm also unclear why people like me would call Margarito a bum if Floyd owns him. Why would I sit here and pile on praise on Margarito and then call him a bum? I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Floyd owns Margarito then I'll give him his due credit. Margarito stylistically presents the b...

Do you even watch boxing? You can't if you're telling me that Margarito is a bum. And let's turn this around on you. What does Floyd get by beating a 35 year old Sharmba Mitchell? He would've gained something if this fight happened 4 years ago. Margarito is pretty much universally recognized as one...

I read PBF was defending his WBC 140 belt against Mitchell in a few places. PBFs comp is second to none P4P - EVERYONE 130-135 - Castillo twice, Corrales - and easily, Gatti was ranked top5 at 140. PBF is HBO and couldn't fight Showtime fighters like Hatton and Zoo. Cotto and Hatton both turned dow...

Being a boxing fan isn't always the most intelligent activity now is it. I'm a fan of the game and I'm one of the minority of US fight fans that ranks Hatton as the top dog at 140 and not PBF. I'd either shell out 20 bucks to watch it home or have to put one of my friends in Britain through the trou...

Hahahaha. Who in the US is going to pay to see Hatton? And at 4 in the afternoon no less. Sorry but this is why boxing is in the toliet. I don't understand this logic that American fight fans wouldn't pay to see Hatton. Why because he's a Brit? It's part of this American ignorance that boxing exist...

well i guess i couldnt expect for this forum to be non-biased but w/e.... british boxers ranked in the top 10 in this division are nowehere near the talent of ishe smith or peter manfredo junior... or alfonoso gomez or sergio mora... well not nowhere near, but i thinkg that all 4 of these guys are ...

This whole contender thing was a joke anyway. Don't understand why people take it so seriously. On a side note I think that the best fighter in the series was Ishe Smith. He's clearly not a middleweight though. He scored a couple of nice wins over David Estrada and Randall Bailey down at welter and ...

I think mora is better than manfredo, just because he performed poorly in his 2nd fight i don't think it makes manfredo better. Manfredo will get ko#ed by many top 20 fighters, i don't think manfredo will go far at all. I can see ishe smith competing at a high level, mora's lack of power is what fu...

The sad truth is that there is probably a big demand in the USA to see just one of these guys in with a genuine top ten fighter. The US is full of sick weirdo's and disallusioned fools who probably actually believe that these guys could win a world title fight. The sad truth is any of the top guys ...

I grew up watching Evander fight. I always admired the fact that he stepped in with anyone. And I also admired that he was at his best when everyone counted him out. This is a man who beat Dwight Qawi...in his 12th PRO FIGHT! But eventually you need to say enough is enough. And for a while now boxin...

Akinwande and Holyfield were originally supposed to meet in 1998 for the WBA title .It was part of a nightmare bill that had to be cancelled on the day of the fight. Akinwande tested positive for Hepititis and a woman boxer who was to fight on the bill was found to be pregnant!!! Good stuff. I knew...

Read this on Doghouse boxing. Have to say I don't agree with him on his points regarding Hatton and I'm guessing the guy he speaks about at the end is Margarito but the rest of the article hasn't come out yet. (Also, when talking about Castillo he says "Castillo has a face and head made of cas...
