Tim Bradley-No he's not great, but he sure is admirable. Always fit, always fights hard.

Montreal and Quebec-I don't know when these two cities became real fight towns, but we're lucky they are. Go-Go Girls at the fights? What a concept!

Nick Charles-I don't know how much longer we'll have him.

Miguel Cotto-See the Bradley description.

Tecata Commercials-I don't speak Spanish and even I get them. Con Character!

Sauol on Friday Night Fights-Someday he's going to clock Teddy Atlas!

Amir Kahn-He reacted to a loss precisely as one should. Learn and improve.

The Cuban Invasion-Hopefully the Gamboa success spurs even more defections!

The Super Six-Sure it's had major problems. But it reintroduced the idea that the best should fight the best over and over and over again and that an occasional loss isn't a big deal.

Sergio Martinez-He might be a great fighter! Can a brother get a decent 160 to fight him?

Germany-While the idea of 60,000 screaming Germans all in one place can give the historically minded pause? That market has clearly brought a renaissance of sorts to Euro-boxing.

Waddya got?
Good post

Also

Nonito Donaire deserves to be mentioned. He could be great too!

The continued globalization of boxing. It's great we have guys from Nottingham fighting Jamaicans in New Jersey.
I'm still angry with Nonito. Between the Vac and Montiel KO's was a three and a half year period where he was 24-28. He did almost nothing meaningful with those years. Aaaaargh

Nottingham fighting Jamaicans in NJ is pretty good huh?
