dont "ko" me via email but i like the HWs and wlad is the best at the moment.

Heck man we need HW fans you are becoming a scarce breed (relatively speaking of course)
I think the heavies will be a great well respected division again by 2007
I agree Wlad has the best chance to unify the heavies.

cc you if i had one left , but yes you are right. i think the HWs are on a up swing.

There isn't much choice for the HW division except to be on an upswing, as it's been on a downward keel for sooooo long.
Agreed that Wlad is by far the strongest in the division, but we need someone else to come up through the ranks and challenge him.

As for top fighters, my faves are:

1) Joe Calzaghe (blatantly obvious and biased, as a Welsh Boxing fan)
2) ODLH
3) Gary Lockett
4) Nikolay Valuev (yes I know he ain't great, but it's like watching a strange mix of man and beast who is slightly confused as to what he's doing fighting in a ring)
5) Mark Hobson (as he was on telly last week in a top fight)

Granted, I don't get to see much more than a few highlights of all the boxing that goes on in the states, so apologies to all the great American and other fighters who I am not crediting, but I can only judge what I see.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

i have to say i love my hometown boys... Manfredo is a good fighter but I loved Balletto(Gary "the tiger") What a monster... He's in the Contender this year......Word!!!

[trotter]

Thinking about fighters that I really get pumped about watching:

1) Hatton

2) Cotto

3) Floyd

4) Pacman

5) Erik


It's a crime those top three are being kept apart and I believe Hatton is the man who wants the fights - but Arum don't want Cotto near Hatton and Floyd has bigger fights to chase just now

[Stevis2002]

Gotta be the Hitman!!
The most exciting fighter to watch IMO.
Closely followed by Barrera mind
