itll be fixed, like every fight in boxing.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Anyone see Joe Calzaghe beat the living shtein out of Jeff Lacy on Saturday?

I saw the replay last night.  I'm a huge Lacy fan (I love anyone with a monster left hook ala Joe Frazier) but Calzaghe made him look like a chump.  Enjoy your win you bastich, we still got the better landmass.   ;)

:-D I've always been a fan of Calzaghe, doesn't have a real big punch, but he is entertaining and was relentless against Lacy. Hope he gets a bumper payday now he looks to have got a friend in Showtime. Talk over here of stepping up and fighting Roy Jones Jr.

You don't need a big punch when you fight like he did man.  That guy was farging relentless, he never gave Lacy a chance to breath.  I really hope Jones Jr. doesn't fight by the way, that dude is going to go the way of Apollo Creed.

Joe would DESTROY RJJ Roy should of took the fight with Bhop, he cannot take a shot anymore (never really could, but he was too fast to hit)

This weekend is a good matchup (at least it has potential) Toney vs. Rahman for Rahman's WBC title. I love the way Toney fights, older but still the best skilled heavy out there. Toney Wins by way of UD.

I think the most awesome thing about the fight was how he kept it up for 12 rounds. Calzaghe and Hatton are flying the flag well. Watch out for Amir Khan! :yay

Mike Tyson's greatest hits is on ESPN right now. In his prime there was never a more dominant heavyweight.

Doesn't he get out soon? If anything they should let him out for St. Patty's Day.

Toney and Rock fight to a draw, if it happens again Toney will win, Rock fought his best fight I've ever seen him fight, since the Lewis KO. No way he can do that again, Toney came in too heavy and off balance because of it. Toney Still can be the fat guys Champ!
