p.s. Good luck next Friday, Billy. I'm going.

Boxing has gone gaga with this "March Madness" and totally overlooked Haye's big win in favor of Pacquiao, the Marquez bros, Israel Vazquez, Casamayor & Nate Campbell. What the Yank writers are doing is already writing Haye's heavyweight chances off - Doug Fischer said he will be "nothing more than Jeremy Williams with an English accent" - when in fact Haye has more future in him & more crossover appeal than these guys, who have possibly left it all in the ring already.

It's a shame, for the moment. When Haye makes an impact at Heavyweight it will be nice. You can already see non-Brits in the Current Scene who are not happy with Haye claiming he will make an impact. And I say non-Brits, because it's not just Americans.
Have you seen the video of Jeremy Williams and Lennox Lewis sparring? Williams doesn't come across as someone many people can like. Haye has a lot more appeal.

It's quite funny how the Lightweight division has gone haywire. I'm definitely interested in seeing who ends up on top over the next few years.
