    Yeah, luckily it's free. That's the only reason i'm catching that shit. Hopkins has the tendency to really slow down the fight. It's strategic, but BOOOOOORRRIINNNNNGGG!!!!

    Yeah, you really gotta follow the sport to truly know which fights to watch. Last week on HBO, the Cintron-Margarito fight was pretty good for a free match.

    The last fight between Pacqiao vs Marquez fight was good as hell. With the win by Cotto last week on that "sparring" fight, he's looking to fight "$" Mayweather, which would also be a good fight, but I think Mayweather might want to cash in on another payday with DeLaHoya.

    Only true followers of the sport know where the fights are. If you catch some fights on SHOWTIME, they're pretty good too of upcoming boxers. So, it's understandable why many people think boxing has gone down. There are too many Divisions and Organizations claiming undisputed champions that it could throw u for a loop, but the overall sport is still great.

    If 2 guys rolling around straddling each other in spandex biker shorts excites you.:shit:

    This should be a good fight, Calzaghe takes it in split decion. IMO

    He has a a good chin and is a more active fighter. Have this fight 5 years ago I think Hopkins floors him. Not now though.

    Calzaghe forfills Hopkins nightmare of being beaten by a "white boy".

    Calzaghe, is unbeaten in how many years?

    Joe is in a no win situation here, win, he gets what you just said, had it been 5 years ago.
    Loses and ......
    JC is quality. Hope the Welsh fans respect the US anthem more than the English 'fans' did.

    Golden Boy owns Vegas. It sucks, maybe the low blows?
