think manny v cotto is the most exciting coming up for­ me

The difference is German-based fighters are so­­ obviously sided by the judges in Germany it's­ untrue! Ottke v­ Reid and even Holyfield v Valuev are­ prime examples.­ Froch v Dirrell was difficult to score­ for 8 of the 12 rounds so­ it could have gone either­ way. However, WBC Judges have always­ had a tendency to­ give the 'come-forward'­ fighter the vote in­ rounds that are awkward to score, so­ even though­ Dirrell walked and danced and jabbed the­ last 4 rounds­ clearly, it's understandable why they­ gave Froch­ the verdict. Just. Kessler v Froch is the­ next fight­ I'm really looking forward to and we will see some­ good action. Both have granite chins and hammer fists,­ yet have no footwork at all. Bring it on!

those who spout on about home town decisions in germany­ could not brag about the result given in frochs last­ fight . i hope the judges remembered to pick up their­ guide dogs before going home

p.s De La Hoya mysteriously stopped using his jab­ against FMJ in the last 1/4 of the fight,I too trhink­ he'd done enough,but if he'd kept pumping that­ hurtfull jab out it would have been one sided.

Still think Mosley would have the answer to the FMJ­ question,comparable speed,heavier handed and naturally­ bigger.I predict Paquiao to get past Cotto and to lose­ on cuts or points to Mayweather,no fence sitting here­ ha ha though I could change my mind by tomorrow !!Fight­ of the century? well who knows it's got a long way­ to go yet,but certainly the biggest fight of the­ naughties

No x I think Froch won by a fanny's hair,simply­ because he was the belt holder,on home ground and­ forced the fight.Ottke would have beat Joe in Germany­ simply because Joe wouldn't have the punch to stop­ him and a decision against OTTKE on home territory was­ unthinkable,Joe would have had to knock him out in­ round two to get a draw over there.In Wales,Joe on­ points,Ottke had no puch at all but was no mug either

But that's not to say Mosley v FMJ wouldn't be­ a good fight too! Really upset Brook had to pull out of­ the Jennings bout. Looking forward to it. Cancelling­ Sky Sports subscription but which channel is the Super­ 6 tournament on again? And Jack, did you think Dirrell­ beat Froch? And Ottke v Calzaghe...who would have won?

Be honest Jack, he actually lost to De La Hoya. And­ Hatton may have caused FMJ more problems had he fought­ at Light-Welterweight. I do think FMJ is a fantastic­ boxer though. He's not a fool and knows when to­ drag people into his fight. He is adaptable, fast,­ impossible to catch cleanly...Pacquiao v FMJ has to be­ THE fight of this century...let's get it on! And­ you've answered your own remark there­ Jack....Mosley's speed, power and skill would be­ negated because FMJ is flawless even if Mosley is a­ natural Welterweight.

Corley,Judah,Gatti,Castillo,Baldomir,De-la-Hoya just­ off the top of my head these were all physically bigger­ than him,he negated their size with skill

28 eh X those were the days ha ha, got to disagree with­ your comment on FMJ being a bully.He's fought­ progressively bigger,heavier opponents throughout his­ career,don't forget he started at super­ featherweight and has took titles in all those weight­ divisions by fighting naturally bigger people,it's­ only his last 2 fights against Hatton and Marquez where­ he's been fighting people moving up to him.

Why Jones v Calzaghe? JC won! But if you mean during­­ their peak...RJJ and JC never happened as­ RJJ had the­ speed and power to KO Calzaghe and RJJ wanted the­ Heavyweight title (which he won). He almost­ KO'd­ Calzaghe in their fight in the first round! As for FMJ­ V Pacquiao...FMJ to beat­ Pacquiao. FMJ's a bully­ on smaller opponents.­ He'll probably be clever and­ get Pac to fight him­ at light-middleweight!!! Lennox­ Lewis was one of the­ best too but his attitude was­ poor for a professional. That's why he lost to­­ McCall and Rahman. He gave them no respect and paid­ for­ it (although he gained revenge in the re-matches).­ Oh and I am 28 Jack. I watched boxing from 11 because­­ my Mum loved the sport. I used to love Big Fight Live­ on ITV.

Hi Jack Torrance. i think Jones to beat Toney. ­ Leonard to beat Hagler. Ali to beat Foreman. ­ Tyson to beat Lewis. Pacquaio to beat Mayweather. ­

Tyson vs holyfield at their peak?
De La Hoya vs ­ Mayweather at their peak?
Collins vs Calzaghe?
Chavez ­ vs De La Hoya?
Jones vs Calzaghe.?
Hopkins vs ­ Hagler?

The trouble is the standout fighters of this era avoid­ each other. How many fights between each other did­ Leonard, Hagler, Duran and Hearns have, was it 11?

One thing remains constant though,when they get beaten­ it makes history -Tyson V Douglas

Roy Jones or James Toney? Hagler or Leonard,Foreman or­ Ali,Lewis or Tyson,Paquiao or Mayweather

Ive always found the whole p for p tag a bit subjective­ to be honest,especially when you have standout fighters­ in the same era

You're right with the analogy with FMJ, jack.­ Donald Curry was the p4p best at the time, and no one­ gave Lloyd much of a chance. He was British,­ commonwealth and European champion at the time and­ Curry was undisputed champion of the world with all­ three belts. When interviewed before the fight,­ Honeyghan declaired he was going to 'smash­ Curry's face in', and boy, he was true to his­ word. That gave him six belts (a record?).Maybe like­ Murray beating Pacquaio now - and convincingly.

Johnny Nelson,please don't remind me,the ammount of­ times I've spilt my drink falling asleep during his­ fights.My first boxing memorys are watching Alan­ Minter,Charlie Magri,Dave Boy Green et al yep 41 year­ old,think you must be in your early to mid 30's X ?
