Yes, indeed, that is what Hopkins said to Calzaghe. I stand corrected. However, I was correct, in that Calzaghe didn't show the courage to reply in kind to him. Hopkins' recent comments seem to me to be born from envy and frustration that whites are now the dominant force in boxing.

Now this I agree with. His intentions were probably to imply some racial nonesense. But his statement was not. Nor was it racist for him to say to Calzaghe: "I've never lost to a white". That was factual. And Calzaghe didn't have the courage to respond: "I've never lost to a black". Which he...

The obvious but never stated. Why? The envy of white success around the world is rampant.

Hopkins is NOT quoted as saying white fighters are flatfooted. If you read the article you will see Hopkins says "...Tito, Kelly Pavlic, Tarver, and Cloud..." are flatfooted and suggests Kovalev is like those four. I presume Hopkins is trying to persuade others to believe Kovalev is just a...

Of course Pulev won. Exactly as I predicted and in the manner I predicted. Now 4-0 on this site with predictions. Pulev is definitely the 2nd or 3rd best heavy in the world today. At this point in their careers I think he may beat an older Vitali by points. He is Wladimir's best and only...

Stay calm everyone. Pulev will beat Thompson. He may get a late knockout but more likely a points win. Do not compare Pulev with Price who is tight and tense. Pulev is relaxed and very busy. His magnificient jab is as good as Wladimir's. Maybe a better jab because he doesn't paw with it. Pulev...

Atlas likes to fantasize that he is not finished and through and irrelevant. Like his comments though, his brain however is a mash of pig feces and squish-mud. The good news is he is very easy to avoid by turning the sound off when watching a fight or by changing channels and watching the fight...

Good to see macaroni win one for a change, especially a rematch, but, he seriously needs to do something else for a living. With his poor skills, stupid style, and bad habits, he is only going to get another beating. Maybe he enjoys those beatings? Who knows? For a man 6'4, he fights like he...

ORIGINALLY POSTED BY AMBROSE: "...I predict Cleverly will try, and test himself well against Kovalev, but will fall or withdraw after 4-5 rounds. Kovalev by TKO round 5." Called it near perfectly!! Again!! Now 3-0 on this site. Damn good. Wanted very badly to see Kovalev destroy Cleverly...

The late-great Corrie Sanders called the USA "heavyweight heaven".

Some thoughts... The world has clearly moved on from the days when big fights were mainly promoted in America. In the photos above, Wladimir looks like the president of all superheroes in this galaxy. Povetkin looks like a dork. I'm not just expecting but desiring Wladimir to win and win...

In case you haven't been following the press build-up to this fight, Cleverly, or his father, have been quoted at least dozen times bragging about how he is not just going to win but that he is going to knock Kovalev out. Cleverly also compares himself to Calzaghe. Two things are certain: 1)...

Well, well, Wolf, we agree again. Very good quotes you brought here. And very good. Exactly what I thought before and after the fight. And don't worry boys. Don't worry at all. This guy is the black Tye Fields. Remember him? It won't be long before Wilder crashes like Fields burned.

Wilder knocked out Lyakhovich in the first round last night. NO surprise here at all. The fight is on youtube. Check it out. As predicted, Lyakhovich took the fall to help inflate Wilder's already wildly inflated record. I'm not sure if the KO is real or not, but when Lyakovich falls down his...

I did see the Briggs/Lyakhovich fight. No, I do not think that fight was fixed. Not all fights are fixed. Lyak. throws a lead right to the body. In that fight it took Briggs 12 rounds to finally time Lyak. leading in low and Briggs countered with an open head shot that dropped Lyak. who couldn't...

This fight is to take place in Cardiff, Wales on August 17. It is a main event fight. The two fighers are light heavyweights. Kovalev is a skilled, mobile boxer with heavyweight knockout power and vicious will. Cleverly is a skilled, mobile boxer with an eager tongue but without much power...

Yes, in the real world Lyakhovich breaks down Wilder by repeated hook attacks to his torso that drape his arms and expose his head to a baseball bat blast that sees him to galaxy 500. But this boxing thing their doing is professional entertainment. If the promoters (and there is no money without...

Nice Pic Wolf. BTW, remember what I wrote about power? This Wilder guy is no knockout puncher. Those long skinny arms on that tall, skinny body of his are not the mechanisms of power. So far he's been "reaching in", and getting TKOs from volume. He is nothing like Abdulsalamov who can shut out...

I agree with you posters here. Matthyse will win. Garcia is a marked man. The trumpets are already playing for him. But he will survive the first three rounds. After Matthyse warms his hands and arms up, and is ready to fire at his will, Garcia will crumple under the pounding. Garcia doesn't...

No Werewolf, it is always the bones. The hands are just part of it. I never wrote power only comes from the hands. This is the secret of power: shorter arms = thicker bones = less deflection = more power. This is not sometimes the case, this is always the case (where proper technique is applied...

Take a good look at picture number three. That picture has a good angle on both fighters. Now take a good look at Khabib's hand size, wrist size, and forearm. Compare them with M'baye's whose are slender and dainty. Those are some clues as to who has more power. Its in the bones man, its in the...

Something most overlook, or cannot see, is that the UFC is a private fighting club. A UFC champion is only that: a UFC champion. A UFC champion is not a "world champion" by any estimate. Fights in the club are selected by a private committee, staged privately, and judged privately. No one...

This loss by Silva is a catastrophic collapse for the bands of anti-white sport watchers. Their hero has fallen. And not by a mere slip of concentration enabling his opponent a quick triangle/arm bar/choke or something dismissable. Silva was smashed senseless. Pages upon pages of mourners are...

Finally! The end to this Silva P4P ATB crap! Finally! And that last punch on the ground through Silva's head really puts the nail in the coffin! Good-bye smartass. If he fights again everyone will be looking to kill him with strikes.

1) Don't slug in close when you don't have the chin for it. 2) When your opponent takes your best after slugging it out for 3, start boxing. Price has a ding-bat trainer/coach. He went in doing exactly what I said and wrote he shouldn't do. I wrote he should fight long range and he did the...
