Boxing Thread

I know very little about this shit, but someone wants a boxing forum, so prove to me you deserve one. rant about boxing here.

would be nice if you talk about the sport when you had names like Willie Pep , Sandy Sadler , Jake Lamotta , Sugar Ray Robinson..

Lets face it, the last great fight we'll probaly ever see was Ward vs Gatti 1.
The sport is far too corrupted now. I don't even watch anymore. You still get great fights..but for every one of those you have 47 shady decisions, and all the other BS that follows. You don't really need a ring walk that includes live crap rap music, all this other BS. Get in the ring, don't take 30 minutes to do it, then you fight.

My favorite fighters are (past) Jack Dempsey , Jake Lamotta , Willie Pep.
(today) Erik Morales , Arturo Gatti , Kosta Tszyu , Bernard Hopkins , Vassily Jirov , Marco Antonia Barrera , David Tua.

Favorite KO(s) Gatti over Joey Gamache , Tua over Rahman.
Favorite Fight(s) Gatti - Ward I , Morales - Barrera I , Jirov - Toney , Marciano - Lewis , Willie Pep - Sandy Sadler I , II , III , IV , Willie Pep - Paddy DeMarco.
Why i like or liked boxing. The Irish fighters style. Watched a lot of the old Tuesday night fights on USA a long time ago. The guys were no names, but they hit and got hit. Pretty much don't watch boxing these days though. And Espn Classic was removed by my cable provider. Oh well.

I want to see Klitchko get another shot. Michael Spinks was my favorite. And I loved to watch any of the following: Mancini, Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Duran.

Favorite fights: Holmes/Cobb, Hagler/Hearns, and Douglas/Tyson (hehehe) - watching on ECS right now.
