real deal got robbed...he clearly won that shit....yeah it was boring as shit but holyfield was clearly the better fighter in this one
Berto whoops Collazo's ass.
Dawson TKOS or decisions Tarver in their rematch.
Marquez gives Diaz a boxing lesson.
Luevano defeats Juarez.
^ I think Collazo might take that fight. Tarver is the "Master of the rematch". Agree with the Marquez fight. I think Juarez wins to.
Juarez isn't in his prime anymore. Luevano seems like a promising champion. But he needs to rematch Santiago.
The WBA is going to review the holyfield fight; I hope they reverse the outcome and give him the belt
holyfield vs valuev was 1 sad fight..
but yeah holyfield deserves the belt.
if you have trouble with holyfield who at age 98 has lost about 10 steps than I say retire. with that said holyfield in his prime would beat any current heavyweight
I want to see Hopkins vs Dawson. Only big fight at Light Heavyweight. Unless Calzaghe comes back, then I would prefer Hopkins vs Calzaghe II so Bernard could knock him out.
As for Roy, I say retire.
De La Hoya should fight Chavez Jr, Trinidad, or Sergio Mora. I hate to say it, but those are his only winnable fights. A fight with Cotto, Berto, Margarito, rematch with Manny or even a third fight with Mosley would put him on a stretcher.
If Haye fights an absolute perfect match with Vitali, then he wins by UD.
However, if Haye fucks up and starts throwing heavy shots too early, he'll get his ass knocked out regardless of how fast he is compared to everyone else in the heavyweight division.
Pacquiao destroys Hatton within six. Might carry on to nine since Ricky does have a lot of heart, and Manny is too nice of a guy. Unfortunately.
And finally, Wright-Williams will be a TOUGH fight. I love Winky (no homo) but he's been out of the ring for a long time, and Paul has been very active. (fought four times this year.) But Paul hasn't had much tough fights or dealt with big adversity. Margarito, and the first fight with Quintana. That's pretty much it. With that said, I still see Williams winning by split or majority decision, but I'm cheering for Winky to pull off the upset so he can have a summer showdown with Pavlik or Abraham.
Juan Manuel Marquez? Or Juan Diaz?
Can't wait for this fight.
^Just copped my tickets for that! I'm gonna say JMM takes it...just too much experience for the Baby Bull. I'd love to see Diaz take it, though. I'm rooting for Juarez to finally get a title this time around too against John but I don't know... I have a feeling that Rocky may have already peaked after the Barrera fights. I do know that if both Rocky and Juan pull it off the roof's gonna come off that bitch!
^ u actually going to see iT??
btw Happy New year benzo!!
Im telling you...Marquez man!
Does anybody remember the undercard of teh Purnell Whitaker/ Oscar De La Hoya fights where Mickey Ward fought some other dude and didn't throw barely a punch the whole fight until one of the final rounds, and threw a rib shot, broke the guys ribs and ended the fight???
BTW..Gamboa looked good tonite.
Hell yeah man, 14th row back! It's about 4 hours from Dallas to Houston so it's a no brainer. Happy New Years to you too, bro! Everything chill with you? Predictions???Quote:

DNA,
I wouldn't mind seeing De La Hoya fight Chavez Jr. It would be a test to see if JCC Jr. is as good as he looks on paper.
I would also like to see David Haye vs. Wladmir Klitschko if he gets passed Vitali.
But all i wish for in 09 is a rematch of BHop and Calzaghe, b/c i think Hopkins will take him this time. If that doesnt work, a match between BHop and RJJ, so the executioner can fuck his ass up. haha I think i've said that about a million times in here.
Ward is my dude. My trainer faught him back in the 80's.Quote:

What a fight between Berto and Collazo. I had Collazo winning the fight, but regardless it was still one hell of a fight. All this fight does is make Berto an even better fighter. There should be a rematch.
peace guys!!
Amir Khan v Barrera???
that Berto and Collazo fight is probley the best one ive seen on HBO in a long time
yeah i think collazo should have won but that nigga berto was dropping bombs
^No doubt, I recommend anyone to catch the re-run if they didn't have the chance to see it. At the end, I had Collazo up by one point because of the pt. deduction. The judge who scored it 116-111 for Berto should never get a title fight again.
I'm throwing a party tonight and going to try the mexican round game haha. Anyways, I have Margarito by UD. Mosley is not getting any younger, and he has too many things going on in his personal life to be 100% ready for this fight.
Holllyyyy fucking shiiiittt...Mosley whooped that ass!!! I never thought I would see anyone knock Margarito out. But at least I wasn't wrong in my bet. I picked Mosley to win the fight, but damn...not like he did!
I didn't expect Mosley to do his thing like that. He beat Margarito's ass. Glad to see old homey do his thing and shut up the critics.
sugar shane looked real great tonight, this should set up a big money fight.(here comes the mayweather talk). I hope this ends all the hype margarito got from when he beat cotto. people were all like oh wow he is one of the top boxers or he is the best in his weight class. come on paul Williams is the best at that weight class.
LOL>..mayweather doesnt want to fight anyone. He's afraid to tarnish his incomplete career.
There are so many possible great fights but he doesnt want to fight anyone.
I know, but you know the media is going to bring his name up
yep...i would too. I want to see what this guy can really do.
If Ali never fought Foreman, Frazier or Sonny Liston, would he be great??? No.
i knew mosley as gonna win but man he looked great doing it man...he looked like he was 25 again.
im wating for marquez vs diaz,that is gonna be a freaking battle right there!
I thought Margarito would win due to him being younger. But then I realized, Shane has always had that style to counter act pressure so he never falls under it. I've always believed Shane would also knock out Floyd Mayweather, and thats saying alot.
Damn I couldn't even see the fight untill Sunday because the suite didn't have HBO. I'm suprised no one has mentioned the plastic found in Margarito's gloves. Cheatin' bastard. Isn't that the same type of plastic doctors put on casts. They dip it in water, then it gets hard as a rock within 30 mins. I hope Cotto gets his rematch against Margarito and shows the world who is the better boxer.
^^ serious??
lol, mosley still won though.
PBF V Mosley????? :P
we would all love to see that......but u and i both know that wont happen.Quote:

Former welterweight titleholder Antonio Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, had their licenses temporarily suspended by the California State Athletic Commission on Wednesday pending the outcome of an investigation into the "plaster-like substance" found on Margarito's hand wraps before his fight last Saturday night against Shane Mosley.

"The temporary suspension will remain in effect until CSAC has fully investigated the circumstances surrounding events at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Jan. 24, 2009," commission chairman Tim Noonan said in a statement. "A foreign substance was found by California State Athletic Commission staff in the hand wraps of Antonio Margarito before his bout against Shane Mosley at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The substance found in Margarito's hand wraps is currently being analyzed by the California Department of Justice. An investigation as to whether either licensee violated CSAC rules is ongoing."Noonan said Margarito and Capetillo have been asked to appear at an initial hearing on Feb. 10.
About a half hour before the fight, which Mosley won by dominant ninth-round TKO to regain the welterweight championship, his trainer, Naazim Richardson, objected to the way Margarito's hands were wrapped.
When the wraps were cut off to be rewrapped, officials found what was deemed a "plaster-like substance" in the wraps. Two pieces of gauze, one in each glove, allegedly had the substance on them.
"From what I know, there was a plaster of Paris-like substance in Margarito's wraps and the commission has these wraps under seal and is investigating what kind of substance it is," Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who promotes Mosley, told ESPN.com. "I'm happy to see the commission realized how serious the issue is and is acting swiftly. We'll see what the outcome will be of the situation."
"Commission staff will have no further comment until such time as the commission makes a final determination of whether licensee actions in this case warrant fines, suspensions, or the revocation of licenses," Noonan said.
Past opponents of Margarito are watching the outcome of the commission investigation with interest. Attorney Pat English, who represents former Kermit Cintron promoter Main Events and Vinny Scolpino, the manager of Joshua Clottey, sent a letter to the commission on Tuesday to alert the panel of their interest.
"We have seen many allegations in this sport and will form no conclusions until the wraps are tested," English wrote. "However, if they test positive for an illegal substance a logical question will be whether the illegal substance was used in other bouts, and we will ask the commissions of the other states where Margarito fought to make appropriate inquiries."
English asked the commission to forward any test results related to the case.
Margarito has twice knocked out Cintron in welterweight title fights when he was promoted by Main Events, the only two losses of his career. The most recent time came in April 2008 in Atlantic City, N.J., two bouts before Margarito faced Mosley.
Margarito retained a title via unanimous decision against Clottey in December 2006, also in Atlantic City. Clottey would go on to later win a world title.

So that boxer retired with a record of 46-0? Was he one of the greatest?
no he was not
He must have been pretty good though to be 46-0, unless he fought a lot of scrubs. lol Didn't he beat Bernard Hopkins?
