I thought they were trying to set up Mosley and my boy Berto...?
and Merce what do you ant me to sign up for....
Post a link brotha....
Mosley vs Clottey is going to be a great matchup, I'd give Shane a slight edge due to experience, but fight wise I'd agree it's pretty even.
Of course Shane has the edge. The fight is in his hometown on a Golden Boy promotion. This fight will most likely go to decision. If it's close, you gotta expect Mosley to win it
^FINALLY one of the Petersons takes a step up. Hopefully it'll be a good start to set off Winter.

We’ve been informed that long time Las Vegas boxing judge Bill Graham passed away on August 13 at Desert Springs Hospital. Graham was 93 years of age. A former boxer himself, Graham began judging at the ripe age of 68 and amazingly continued well into his nineties. Among the big fights he judged was the November 13, 1999 rematch between Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. The last notable fight he worked was Monte Barrett against Tye Fields last year at the age of 92.
As for Mosley/Clottey, I just now noticed how this is almost a replica of the golden age of welterweights:
Leonard/Hearns/Benitez/Duran all fought each other.
Nowdays:
Mosley/Cotto/Margarito/Clottey.
It would be nice as hell if the trend could continue more often.
It is interesting how these fights get done nowadays....It's like you can fairly predict who will be fighting each other due to the promotional companies that they are under...
But I'm glad that Clottey got another shot at a belt...However, it is against Shane Mosley (my fave fighter out now) and he may have some problems trying to move in...For those that thought he wasn't active enough against Cotto, if he tries the same thing against Mosley, he'll get blasted out of there quick...
Merce do you have Kings of the ring Documentary...?
You're going to have to give me a lil time, I'm moving into a new house and it's kind of tough time-wise when you're going at it alone. I'll post when I can but it'll be a bit erratic for the next couple weeks. I'll try to find that Doc for you. Any idea when it came out? Any info is helpful, if someone on FF has it, they might upload it for me. I think that was a series of docs if I'm not mistaken.
thanks......
and I just watched Arum's rant about MMA....

what you think about it?
and another question...
ppl say Boxing is dead/or dying
what do you think Boxing needs to do to bring in more fans and get ppl excited?
I don't particularly believe that boxing has been dead or dying, I think that's MMA propaganda. The public who doesn't really know anything about boxing, say that, because boxing has always, and unrightfully so, been judged by the state of the heavyweight division.
As great as the caucasian public says the Klitschko brothers are, I don't buy it. These guys are huge, physically gifted athletes - who refuse to mix it up in the ring and provide the public with spectacular fights. The heavyweight division is also trash as a whole. A bunch of guys who would naturally be fighting at 225 - who have to put on 50 pounds just to be able to compete with the "super" heavyweights. It's a ridiculous state of affairs when you have "champs" who are supposedly more talented than everyone else, hitting and holding and pitty pat jabbing their way to victory. But south of the heavyweight division - let's look at this "dying"sport:
At super middle you have some of the most talented 168lb'ers ever assembled, about to kick off a tourney that the whole boxing world is already buzzing about. Six damm good, world class fighters about to set it off to see who's the best. At light heavy, you have the Dawson/Johnson rematch about to take place, with the winner most likely facing B-Hop.
Middleweight has a shit-load of prospects coming up, do a lil' research(i can't remember names right now) and you'll find that in about 2 or 3 years, the middle division might be the strongest in boxing. At junior-welter, welter and super-welter you have names like Mayweather, Cotto, Mosley, Clottey, Berto, Pacquiao, Marquez, Malignaggi, Diaz, Hatton, Bradley and the Petersons. In other words, a shit load of good possible matchups. From 135 down to feather you got names like Khan, Lopez, Caballero, Valero, Guzman, Marquez, Vazquez, Gamboa.......man if you are a boxing fan and your mouth doesn't start to salivate with the possibility of all these matchups - then maybe some of these cats should be watching MMA....

Nah Poet, the layman will tell you boxing is dead because there are no more Tysons and Holmes's, the Ali's and the Holyfields are all gone - but I say with all these matches that could possibly be made below heavyweight - I don't really miss that division right now. Boxing is alive and well, just ask Mayweather and DeLaHoya - who've both probably made just as much money as Dana White has in the past few years, if not, more so. Ask any MMA fighter if he's as rich as Dana......
WTF!?!?!?HBO needs to get their shit together!!! And after he finishes with Marquez and Pac, Floyd needs to man up and fight a WELTERWEIGHT, preferably one named Shane Mosley. I don't care what anyone says, that ninja is scared of Shane.
I think if he is/was scared of him, he's even more reluctant to fight him NOW more than ever...
He might've said thank you to Mosley though for that big payday with Oscar, because it was up to Shane if that fight was going to go through...He basically let Floyd fight Oscar when he could've took the fight and would've won...
wow...I did not expect to see a near shutout to happen to Marquez...This is a HOF fighter we're talking about here and PBF just dusted him. At times it looked like he was fighting Carlos Baldomir all over again...
Afterwards, it seems like the buzz is that Mayweather will fight Pac next...They need to shut up with all that noise...It ain't gonna happen
it was ridiculous how he abused jmm
It was impressive how he shut homie out but the size difference when they went to shake hands was likeIf he doesn't fight Mosley after the "Kanye" Shane pulled on that ninja he's gonna lose fans, not that he gives a shit.
Man if he could do that to Marquez, I can only imagine what would happen to Pacman....Come to think of it, it might happen to him against Cotto.
Btw, Escobedo couldn't seem to avoid brawling with Katsidis, halfway through the fight, he made a mistake by NOT brawling and still trying to box.
Yo tp2001, what you think about that Klitschko/Arreola fight?
