Let's hope so....he is an extremely talented fighter who is only just now getting his due from the U.S. press. Hopkins is still a good fighter despite his age and is crafty enough to cause Calzaghe problems but I think that Joe's speed and punch output should carry the day provided he gets a...

I too watched the replay and agree with you, JD074.... Cortez was overly agressive in breaking them up instead of letting them fight their way out of the clinches...in fact, he seemed to be anticipating a clinch before it happened and pulled them away even when they were not holding. Hatton...

I have not yet seen the fight, and can understand the disappointment with the outcome and critique of the referee...but from all accounts Ricky fought his heart out and simply came up short against an extremely talented and larger man. No shame in that.....and the fact that Mayweather credits...

Just curious, what do you guys really think of Hatton's chances? I am certainly rooting for him, but fear that it may be a typical Mayweather fight in which Floyd wins (or is given) a decision, based on his defensive skills and ability to flurry and steal rounds.... Hatton does appear to be...

I agree. Even the announcers, who have been roundly criticized on this site had the fight even or very close. In fact, Larry Merchant Jim Lampley and L. Lewis, actually seemed to be rooting for Pavlik. In addition to getting the desired result, this was a very, very good fight. What...

Have not heard anything about a conspiracy in the Louis Schmeling fight....but Conn was not just "some Irish guy" he was one of the greatest light heavyweight champions that ever lived and had the skills, speed and heart to beat Louis convincingly for most of the fight until he decided to slug...

I agree that it will be a very tough fight and can go either way. I think Taylor (and Emanuel Stewart) is confident that his experience, speed and defensive skills will be too much for Pavlik, which is why he took this fight, after apparently ducking Joe Calzaghe for a long time.....Joe C...

Wow! That was incredible. As far as we know, that was against a player on a NFL team, right.:)

I agree. Madden was one of the first announcers to talk about how athletic Jason Sehorn was and named him to his All-Madden team before the rest of the media jumped on the band wagon.

I think it's interesting that Taylor is bad mouthing Pavlik. After the Miranda fight, Taylor had nothing but praise for Pavlik. Maybe he is trying to add some hype to the fight, which is not neccesary. Odd that he chose to question Kelly's heart, since that is usually the knock on...

Arturo Gatti has announced his retirement after his defeat at the hands of Alfonso Gomez on Saturday. This is probably for the best, as at 35, his best days are clearly behind him and I would hate to see him get seriously hurt. His three fights with Mickey Ward were classics, with neither...

I too think Jeffries was the most under rated HW. All most people know of him is his loss to Johnson, when he was well past his prime and pressured into coming back. (Interestly, every time Johnson's loss to Willard is shown, it it prefaced by the statement "after Johnson was past his prime")...

I do believe Mayweather is faster and extremely skilled defensively, but if Hatton fights at the top of his game and wears him down with body punches, he could pull off a huge upset. I say huge upset, only because the boxing pundits will have Mayweather as a big favorite.

Why, when you move up a weight class are you "supposed to stay there?"

The Castillo fight will not be an easy one. Castillo came closer than anyone to beating Mayweather and fought him very tough. Hatton is the favorite, but that may be due to the huge number of English fans who bet on his fights, rather than any real advantage Hatton might have. Not saying he...

Mullin did have a drinking problem very early in his career, but was able to turn things around while still in his prime. If he does not get into the HOF it will be because of injuries, not alcohol.

Not the first time Bown has acted like this and apparently the league is finally noticing. Not sure what is meant by Nash realizing "they" are all on the same team. Are you implying that the Sun's black players are rooting for Nash to get hurt and ruin their chances for a championship? As...

Jones is a terrific athlete who is attempting to learn a new position at the highest level. Hopefully, he can get the ball enough this year to show what he can do... Johnson is somewhat comparable as an athlete, but has the huge advantage of having played the position in college so I would have...

Pretty good.:) The Kenny Loggins clone is Bill Wennington who had a fairly lengthy career in the NBA. That team also had Mark Jackson and Walter Berry (great college player, but a bust in the pros) but Mullin was main guy.

Hatton and Calzaghe do not get the respect they deserve. However, Mayweather is a great fighter, whether you like him or not and I cannot see De La Hoya beating him at this stage in his career unless he decides to go toe to toe with him, like Leonard did in his first fight with Duran.

Alworth would have torn up the NFL had he played today with the newer rules protecting receivers. Great speed, moves and jumping ability (nicknamed Bambi) to go along with his great hands and obvious toughness (DB's used to beat on him all the way down the field). Paul Zimmerman of S.I., had...

Results came in from 2007 HOF and Mullin was not elected. Phil Jackson and Roy Williams did get in.

Ironic since Simmons idol growing up was Larry Bird, whom he often refers to as the Basketball Jesus.

Well, he is not as polished (or as tough as Hansbrough) but may have more of an upside in the pro's and could, if he develops a mid range jump shot be a star someday.
