The next British Heavyweight World Champion

[vmax]

Can't be doing with women hitting each other, don't like it at all.

Thought KT lost that, think it was close and she could have taken a draw with the last round but there is no way she won that by 3 or 4 rounds.

Unreal that, although I think Smith and the youtuber being on the card has probably sold most of those tickets but fair doos should be a cracking fight.

Ooo you sexist pig

Will be a barn burner for sure, I think Katie's 0 might go, Stevenson /Valdez is also on tonight, I think Stevenson is going to be another superstar

[itsnoteasy]

Bump, just because I love boxing.

How times have changed, we have a women's world title fight topping Madison Square Garden tomorrow night

Froch was still fighting in ice rinks so there was no point in Joe facing him when he had the opportunity to make real money at that point in his career.

The fight would have sold tremendously in the UK I think, but obviously not enough to compare with 6 million quid or whatver he got for Roy Jones. It's typical Calzaghe though - spends 90% of his career refusing to take any risks, finally takes two in a row(well, one really -Lacy was never a risk in my opinion) and wins big, but goes straight back to playing it safe "for the money." He must have been rich enough by then, but he was happy to be a sellout, which is a shame.

[GeordieDS]

Yeah, I was furious Calzaghe ducked Froch to take yet more soft options - Froch would have had no more than a puncher's chance but he'd have made Calzaghe work for the win.

Frampton disappointed me with his excuses for not fighting Rigo - ok you want to make plenty of money before you retire, but you should also want to test yourself against the best. Hatton and Froch both did this and both came up short, but there's nobody but petty idiots picking fault with their records.

I admire Froch for going the States and fighting Taylor, he had his head boxed off for most of the fight and managed to turn it around, he was tough but took far to many shots.
Obviously different era's but a Froch/Chris Eubank Snr is a fantasy matchup that I'd love to have seen

Both McGuigan and Frampton kept away from Nelson and Rigo so that tells how much they fancied that work, I think Calzaghe wins by unanimous decision against Froch because he would have been to quick and to good

Never easy they are all quality but I agree with those choices.

He just got paid tens of millions of dollars for a few weeks of "promoting" and half an hour of moving aroud. I don't know what he gets from UFC, but unless his solid gold aeroplane and solid gold Bentley aren't insured, I can't see him needing to worry about dignity.

Ha! Fair point Gav.

[gavpowell]

it's a gamble for CM because he would be a laughing stock if he lost.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo ;0(


The only way that fight will happen is if there is a market for it and i know the general public believe whatever tripe they are told but ffs for the sake of humanity they can't possibly buy that, right where's them antidepressants.....

For the love of a non existent god I hope it never happens, but the way I see it, I think CM thinks he can beat PM, it's a gamble for CM because he would be a laughing stock if he lost, but the press would catapult him to world class if he won, going by the utter rubbish they wrote about his fight with FM, landed 110 punches lol,aye if you count every one that he took on his gloves or all those pitty patty arm shots that had nothing behind them. I think they could sell it as a big grudge match or something like that after their fall out over the sparring.

[Byrom]

Three easy nights work for Nelson,Rigo and Calzaghe

Never easy they are all quality but I agree with those choices.

[GeordieDS]

It will return, I have a horrible feeling he will fight Pauli Maginalli.
