These fights are what keeps boxing going. If it wasn't for boxing, i wouldn't get much inspiration.

I too cannot wait for the fight. They are very similar in their pressure style fighting. It should be fun.

I think Pac might be more technically skilled, but i feel Hatton is the harder puncher. Could even end up being a draw. Its a tough call.

MavenMI6Agent009 · 04-08-2009, 10:59 AM

couldnt agree more, I use to have hbo couple of years back and showtime and would watch boxing every friday and saturday night but not as much anymore.

seanybhoy · 04-08-2009, 11:53 AM

Yeah too true Pacquaio v Hatton is the kinda fight you tell you're grandkids about lol.

I still remember the Barrera v Pacquaio fight like it was yesterday aww man it's fights like those that make boxing so great.

MavenMI6Agent009 · 04-08-2009, 11:57 AM

no doubt

STORMZ13 · 04-22-2009, 07:10 PM

Yeah I'm a big boxing fan myself. I use to go to the gym and train and spar, but that's it.
I like the following boxers,
Shane Mosley at 135 lbs.
James Toney at 160 lbs.
Early Mike Tyson.
Floyd Mayweather.
Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson.
Sugar Ray Leonard.
Roberto Duran at 135 lbs.
Bernard Hopkins.
That's all I can think of right now.
I'm looking forward to Pacquiao vs Hatton, I'm curious to see if Mayweather has made improvements with Ricky. I'm also looking forward to Cotto vs. Clottey. That's going to be a real tuff fight for Cotto. I like both fighters and I'm just hoping it's a clean fight, no controversy.

Hmm, now i've seen it................

Have you seen it now?

hmmmm......i didn't expect THAT to happen!

seanybhoy · 05-03-2009, 10:47 AM

Okay , okay i don't think anyone expected that to happen.

Credit where it's due though Pacquiao smoked him.

I still respect for Hatton for taking the Pacquiao n Mayweather fight even if he did lose both , he could easily've been a douche n fought nobodies n kept his 45-0 but he put it on the line cuz he's a boxer not a poser so fair play to him and of course Pacquiao.

Yeah of course, i still think Hatton is a quality fighter.

He didn't dodge the best in their prime. I respect him alot for that.

Theres talk of either a fight against Amir Khan or Junior Witter.

Personally i feel Witter would be a better choice for Hatton. Pac has the same trainer as Khan (Freddie Roach), so i dont think it would be a wise fight.

Hatton can still be a dominant european fighter. He's still got some time, considering that alot of older fighters are still around like Jonathan Thaxton and Marco Antonio Barrera.

STORMZ13 · 05-04-2009, 05:02 PM

Hatton is still going to fight ?? WOW, I would have thought he would retire after his poor performance against Pacquiao.

HOLYFIELD continues to fight, even at the age of 46.

"Former undisputed HW champion Evander Holyfield will return for the first time in the ring since his controversial decision loss(aka robbery) to Nikolay Valuev.He takes part in an exhibition fight in Ethiopia on july 26 to help raise money for AIDS victims.The 46 year old will take on Sammy Retta in Addis Ababa.
''The two boxers and they're teams will arrive in Addis Ababa on may 17th to conclude a contract and for promotional purposses before the fight on july 26,''promoter Ali Baba said during a press conference.
Getting Holyfield doesn't come cheap.The bout will cost the event promoters nearly 7 million dollars.They refused to commnet on how much of the money is going to Evander.Retta is a CW with a record of 18-3,17 KOs"

Here are the boxrec profiles: (retta) http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...9338&cat=boxer

63 year old "ken buchanan" wants to make a return to boxing.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8045511.stm

How mad is that!? 63...

Alone42Long · 05-24-2009, 06:07 AM

Yeah boxing is the only sport I watch too. Albeit not as much as I used to. That's if you don't count the occasional MMA or World's Strongest Man as a sport. ha ha

I still have tapes of Holyfield off tv I had watched when he was a cruiser weight.
Time flies.

stylicho · 05-24-2009, 05:55 PM

I was big into boxing during high school. Used to watch friday night fights religiously. Went to this gym about 5 years ago http://westmonroela.tripod.com/webpage.html. I didnt spar with anybody but trainer had me on HB, SB, and focus mitts. Also, worked a lot on endurance. Trainer wanted me to really get into it but I have too many injuries already

. There was a famous boxer that fought in one of the lighter divisions that came out of that gym. He used to be on ESPN and was a national champion. But he got into drugs and went to jail. He told me that Sparky (the trainer) spoke highly of me but I told him why I wasnt going to try to do amateur or pro boxing because of the injuries. I cant remember the guys name for the life of me. I dont think he's still boxing but not sure.
Edit: I looked at the link and it showed IBC champ 1990 so I googled that and that gave me the answer. His name is Richard Savage. Im getting alzheimers lol.
Edit again: I also could imagine how difficult it would be walking down to a ring when a big crowd is watching you

.

Alone42Long · 05-25-2009, 12:36 AM

Nah I doubt you're getting alzheimers. They say it's normal to forget like where you placed your keys. It's when you forget what they're for that there's a problem.

That's cool having trained at a gym like that. I work with a couple guys that did here. I'm old to start & nervous to join . Just want the conditioning mostly & I guess hold my own on the street if need be. Do you train at home? Setting up a hb & sb is pretty easy & inexpensive & of course you can run or jump rope most anywhere. I think boxers probably have the best overall conditioning of anyone.

On that Tyson Documentary he said he was scared of his opponent nervous walking down to the ring but once he stepped in all the training took over & he felt like a indestructable god. Just focusing on psyching his opponent out & the a** whooping he was fixing to unleash. I guess oblivious to the crowd.

I havent seen the Tyson documentary yet but I heard its supposed to be good. I did something to my leg the last time I messed around on a hb. I was practicing low kicks and my leg got real stiff. Something to do with the hip joint. Ive been putting off getting an MRI done on it for over a year now but its starting to become a little more painful. So I will probably be having surgery again. Oh the joy
