A boxing thread
I don't expect we will post in this one often as boxing rarely does anything noteworthy anymore (God I miss Ali)
That said, thought I would start one because of last evenings La Hoya vs. Pacquiao fight. Details here: http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slu...yhoo&type=lgns This was inevitable, La Hoya was a legend, but instead of retiring on top, he kept fighting when he probably should not have. It was only a matter of time before someone younger would clean his clock. |
I wouldn't be surprised if a Pacquiao/Mayweather Jr. fight is in the cards.
|
I think Mayweather Jr may not want to fight Pacquiao. He had to beat La Hoya by decision and Pacquiao dispatched La Hoya with ease. Mayweather knows this, I think he'll stay retired.
|
How about Pacquiao/Hatton? Still a marquee match up, and probably more likely (though I'm a firm believer that "Money" Mayweather is not done yet).
|
Interesting strategy employed by de la Hoya the other night. trying to block Pacquiao's punches with his face. Either that, or it was the rarely seen "Gandhi method" to boxing.
|
As far as pugilism goes, I'm usually a Klitschko fan, no matter which brother.

And what a slugfest it shall be.

Oh, and this (as advertised) is the funniest KO ever. I didn't see the fight, but I remember it getting a lot of play a few years ago.

Anyone else watch Wladimir Kiltschko and Hasim Rahman tonight? Klitschko is hands down the best heavyweight right now.
|
The man's a beast.
|
Not really a statement fight as Rahman is past his prime, but it's a good fight to help shape Wladimir's title reign as he took apart a former world champ.
