    Mora gets to fight Taylor
    Manfredo gets to fight Calzaghe
    Steve Forbes gets to fight D-Hop


    These are all ridiculous fights.


    Actually Forbes vs D-Hop is a great matchup in my opinion. Forbes is a former world champ you know


    Now John Duddy vs Anthony Bonsante on the other hand

    AND IT's PPV!!!

    D-hops last fight was an IBF title eliminator. His next fight should be for the title. He should be fighting Lovemore N'dou.

    Forbes had a title 6 years ago, and he is coming off of a loss.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    He lost to a much bigger man in the Contender final. He beat 3 other fighters to get there, including K9 Bundrage.

    He's a decent test for D-Hop with a couple of recognisable names on his record, which unless you count Norberto Bravo and Jesse Feliciano is more than Hopkins has.

    Poor Bravo embarassed himself the other night against Berto. He kept getting up, but never got into the fight.

    Not sure who gave out the information that Taylor Mora was a close fight in the Olympics. Anyone that saw it could tell you that. Taylor whooped Mora 12-3 at the 2000 Olympic trials.

    I'd hope that Taylor would kick the shit out of him...but I aint 100% sure that that's going to happen.

    Mora has improved just as much as Taylor has...but Mora seems to have a bit more stamina controll going on.

    Taylor's jab will control Mora just as much as it did in the games...but Mora's got a better grip on the mental aspect than Taylor, IWO.
    Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!

    Mora is a cocky punk who doesn't even belong in the top 10. I don't think HBO's golden boy Taylor has anything to worry bout.
