Tarver beats Johnson and looks good doing it... i will move him up. Like you said, beating Jones now (after seeing the Johnson/Jones fight) its not all that big of a boost for Tarver.

Barrera/Morales should be good! They are 1-1 against each other, and I think Morales wins the rubber match by a very close UD.

Also, I LOVE the Pacquiao/Marquez re-match! Pac knocked Marquez down 3 times in the first and the fight ended up being a draw... it was nuts.

i think its pretty much a toss up between barrera/morales...whoever brings it that day cause i think they are evenly matched....i didn't see the pac/marquez first but i'll have to catch the rematch

the little guys are so much better than the heavyweights...does anyone even watch the heavyweights anymore???

you see they banned holyfield in ny....how does he not know its over.....he's losing to boxcar willy...gotta be one of the worst falls from grace we've seen in awhile...please don't bring up tyson..he's not human

The little guys (like 125-160) are the most fun to watch, and even some of the light heavy fights (175) are good too. No, noone watches much heavyweights anymore. I refused to pay for the pay per view last weekend by i heard it really wasn't all that exciting. I was just bummed because my boy Jameel McCline lost to Chris Byrd by SD.

Yeah, Holyfield is pretty much done. He was banned by the NY health commision or something like that. That means he can't get a sanctioned fight anywhere in the country until he passes a physical and cleared to fight again. I for one, am praying that he can not get cleared. It is time to retire. From what i read, he got destroyed by a TERRIBLE over the hill Larry Donald. Tyson can eat my nuts... he hasn't beaten anyone (except his ex wife) since i was a kid.

ssigman · November 18th, 2004, 10:55 AM

haha mr. t was the toughest rocky opponent by far

jtg33 · November 18th, 2004, 10:47 PM

Mr. T is the best ever - not just as a Rocky opponent, but as an overall badass.

ssigman · November 19th, 2004, 10:49 AM

yea but he was dumb he always fell for the needle trick to knock him out when they had to fly

BtownJay · November 23rd, 2004, 12:04 PM

Winky Wright keeps his #8 spot in my top 10 (i'm sure he was worried) after a pretty mediocre majority decision vs. Shane Mosley. Scores were 114-114, 115-113, 115-113. However, I don't believe Shane was that close... I scored the fight 117-111. Wright out landed Mosley 273 (41%) to 154 (24%).

Shane just does not have the power at 154 to do much damage to Winky... so during the fifth round Winky put his arms to his side and LET Shane punch him 3 or 4 times to the body, then Shane unloaded a huge right to Winky head. Winky looked a bit shaken, but showed no effect from the punch. I think that pretty much proved to Winky that Shane was not going to hurt him. Winky's corner did however, proceed to rip him a new one for the full minute before the 6th round.

Overall, pretty good fight, but Winky needs to step up and look better in his next fight if he wants to become an elite fighter.

Some good fights coming up that could shake this up alittle bit...

11/20/04 - Winky Wright vs. Shane Mosley - Wright UD
11/27/04 - Eric Morales vs. Marco Antonio Barerra - Barerra MD

With the loss by my #4 ranked ranked fighter (Morales) to my #10 ranked fighter (Barrera), there has to be alittle shaking up of the top 10. So the new top ten list as of 11/30...

1. Bernard Hopkins
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
3. Kostya Tszyu
4. Felix Trinidad
5. Manny Pacquiao
6. Antonio Tarver
7. Marco Antonio Barrera
8. Eric Morales
9. Winky Wright
10. Diego Corrales

I can't drop Morales off because he has only ever lost two fights (47-2) and both losses are to Barrera. Pacquiao beat Berrera last november, so he has to stay a head of him. Some good fights coming up to watch and could change the rankings...

12/18/04 - Antonio Tarver vs. Glen Johnson
01/22/05 - Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Henry Bruseles
02/26/05 - Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez
02/19/05 - Bernard Hopkins vs. Howard Eastman
03/12/05 - Felix Trinidad vs. Felix Strum
