Branco vs Pascal

2009-11-24T21:57:24Z

I saw Branco against Pascal from Canada tonight on Eurosport - don't
know when the fight actually took place - but what a tuff fight!
Pascal defended his light heavyweight championship, but the 43 year old
Italian did a tremendous attempt to bring the belt to Italy.
Anyone see it?
Bet it's out there online somewhere, in case you didn't see it

Pacquiao steroid accusations

2009-11-23T22:04:28Z

I noticed Paulie Maligaggi has joined the small---but slowly growing---
chorus of voices after Mayweather Sr---including Jeff Mayweather,
Kermit Cintron, and Wally Matthews----in accusing or implying that
Pacquiao is the beneficiary of some type of steroid (or something-or-
the-other illegal) enhancement:

Kessler v Ward

2009-11-22T04:34:49Z

Firstly kudos to Ward : great speed and wonderful skills.
Secondly : that bout should be re-fought. BOTH Kessler's injuries
came from blatant headbutts. The second one in particular which caused
the stoppage cut almost took Kessler's head off.
Would the result have been any different? Who knows. Kessler was sharp

When is Pacquiao goint to fight

2009-11-16T13:22:10Z

Someone who is not old or coming off a beating,
so we can see if he really is any good?
If Berto can beat mosely, I wanna see Manny fight him,
not that he's anything great but he is young and on a winning
streak.
I don't see manny fighting Mayweather because he dodges the question
every time they ask him.

Pacmam will KO Cotto

2009-11-15T02:02:44Z

I am astounded how many so-called boxing experts like George Foreman
and Tito Trinidad actually pick Cotto over Pacquiao. How can anybody
fail to recognize Pacquiao is a generational fighter. He is the Sugar
Ray Robinson of our time. Pacman is not just a fighter. He has
elevated boxing to the level of art. Pacman is transcendent. Some

well. On that note, here's some comments Haye made of Valuev prior to

He was fast, no question.
One question though:
Who was the contender?

Michael Spinks as Heavyweight..how good was he?

2009-10-31T19:21:55Z

Michael at heavyweight was a brief affair to say the least. Two narrow wins
over Larry Holmes (2nd dubious) and a wipeout loss to Mike Tyson (ok and a
win over an aged Gerry Cooney). Not exactly a deep resume in some sense.
How do you think Michael would have done against other contenders at the
time such as Tim Witherspoon, Pinklon Thomas, Frank Bruno, Bonecrusher

At the time it is fair to say that Tillis was basically the gatekeeper to
the top 10. The fight went to a close decision win to Tyson but it was damn
