    Obviously the fans claim he should be allowed, lusting for action and KO's.
    But all sanctioning bodies want him to stay well away from boxing!
    Ive seen him fight, only once though...but DAMN!!!

    That guy can hit! Hits friggin hard for a lil guy!

    Possibly p4p the hardest hitter in boxing, his 18 first fights all came from ko in the first round lol, but he still needs to work on skills. He runs in like a bull and throws great combos with great power but his footwork isnt very good and neither is his defense.

    With enough work on his defence (by the time hes 30 years old) if he has his defence and footwork sorted then that lil guy could be one mean mean mean mofo lol.
    He's dangerous.
    We haven't seen anything to suggest his own chin is teak, and he has some stylistic problems (because of negligence.)
    But he's a huge hitter.

    I'd say Floyd is definetely the most talked about here... Hatton was big at one stage after Kostya, and for good reason.. We have a lot of UK people here and he was very hot property as he fought some US guys and Mayweather.. Havn't heard much of him since,, until his next fight of course.

    Calzaghe was talked about here and there until and after his Kess fight, then he was constantly being talked about, whether or not the BHOP fight would happen, who would win.. The last 4 weeks it's been almost all Calzaghe Hopkins.

    I guess around the big fights, everyone get's fight fever and their are endless posts around the same fighters.. It's a part of what makes this place great actually... You get swept up into the big fights with endless debate on every aspect of up & coming fights, and current fights..

    Pavlik was popular for a while there as well with his 2 big wins. Coming from no where to be the name on everyone's minds.

    Overall though, Floyd is the main stayer... Whether he's been winning, or not fighting, their is always something to talk about with him... He's also has the most people on sides of the fence of like/dislike I think... So their is no shortage of people with opinions on him.

    Oops, forgot Cotto... The guy is an up & coming machine.. In fact he's already here. !!! As long as he's fighting, every win will get him more and more posts.

    Perhaps not controversy though... I don't think i've heard one person here say even a single bad, negative or UNpositive thing about him..... And Saddo is full of highly opinionated f'kers.. So that's already saying what a great champ he's going to make for the next 15 years
