Joes destruction of Jeff was superb…and the fight was very well worth watching.
Baldomir humiliating Zab was worth watching.
Bell KO’ing Mormeck was a sight to be seen.
The last 3 Arce fights have been fwocking intense.
and then theres this little fight that went down at the Mandalay between JLC and Corrales
There’s been Corrales-Castillo 1, both Pac-EM fights, Arce-Hussein, Pac-Marquez, Cotto-Torres. All of those to me were easily better than Lewis-Klitschko which was such a sloppy fight. And I’m sure I’m forgetting some other good ones. Also a whole lot of great fights between lesser known fighters.
Corrales-Castillo
Hatton-Tszyu
Pac vs Morrales and Marquez
I also agree with Mick about Bell-Mormeck,Calzaghe-Lacy, and definately Arce. He might be the most exciting fighter right now.
Arrrrrghhh!!! Stalker alert stalker alert!!! Heh heh heh. Loves ya to Mickus.
:coolclick: back.
Back to the sport…I thought about this last night…and here’s what I’ve seen in just the last two years off the top of me head that stands out:
Sturm vs Oscar
Cotto vs Torres
Mayweather vs Gatti
Peter vs Klitshko
Sturm vs Masoe
Corrales vs Castillo
Eduord vs Gibbs
Wright vs Trinidad
Hatton vs Tszyu
Pacquiao vs Morales I & II & also Marquez
Calzaghe vs Lacy
Wright vs Soliman
Wright vs Trinidad
…the list goes on & on & I can’t really think…seeing as how I just woke up…but there are many many more.
There haven’t been many good fights because the “good fighters” either 1) won’t fight each other or 2) show up and half ass their fights ie Toney-Rahman!
Vitali needs to come back to the sport and I think he will right after Wlad beats Chris Byrd.
Vitali will have a chance to get a warm up fight in and then fight Rahman-Toney-Maskaev
I think that was only exciting because people wanted to believe Peter was the next coming at heavyweight. I don’t think i would like to sit through it again like i could do with Cotto - Torres, hatton - Tszyu, Corrales - castillo 1 and 2, Morales - Pac. Has this guy been living under a rock since lewis retired?
It is worse than what Y-K suggests, boxing truly has not had a superfight, on the scale of the 80/90s since Lewis/Tyson. Too few people had heard of Vitali, for it to be a worldwide superfight, on the scale of say Hagler/Hearns, Hagler/Leonard, Tyson/Spinks, Bowe/HolyfieldI, II and III or Tyson/HolyfieldII.
And if you consider Tyson as retired, then for the first time in its entire history; modern boxing does not have an active fighter, who is a household name around the entire planet.
