Manfredo pulled off a great win, his training payed off. He beat spina fair n square, but Pride, I know your lust over manfredo clouds your mind and makes you say things in which you know nothing about. "If Spina's hand was broken I'll wear wingtips and paisties to work tomorrow." "first a jammed thumb, then a broken hand, next a neck?" I know its hard for you to grasp (even though u were an amature at one time, right?) well, believe it or not, the thumb is connected to the hand. Not just that, the hand is supported by almost 30 bones, that are all dependent on each other. When looking at the thumb, below it is a bone called the "greater multangular" and below that is the Navicular.
Those two bones surround the main (and largest) bone in the hand (not length wise, but diameter wise) called the "Capitate". These and 4 others line up to form the "Power Line"in the hand. So when using your hand in a blow, and your thumb takes any part of the impact, these 3 bones mentioned in the "power line" can fracture or "break" The visit to the specialist in Boston on the 17th should tell more about the extent of the injury. Since you follow LOCAL fighting so much, you should know that jamie clampitt just got her surgery completed (very similar to what joe spina could have), and is awaiting her rehabilitation to try and come back early 2007.

BUT listen all in all, Manfredo won, point blank, he caught joey with his hand down multiple times. Im not going to make excuses for Spina’s loss, but his hand was actually broken, but that didnt cause manfredos punches to land. Congrats to manfredo, hopefully if he's serious about his career he'll fight omar sheika or someone of that caliber before jumping up to someone like roy jones. However it is projected around a 2m payday, so maybe a fight with jones win/lose is a win win situation. However it turns out, good for him good for Rhode Island. He deserves it, starting at 5 years old, he's been in the game a long time.

Roy Jones Jr. or Mike Tyson

[Big_Deuce]

yea, the poll said heavyweight,
but can you really consider roy jones heavyweight with just 1 fight?
I mean, yea technically yes, whadaya think?
i believe its a toss up with ali, and tyson.

[AdamGB]

Ali had fast foot work and good over all speed... very fast reflexes and upper body movement.

In terms of just punchnig though Tyson is a bit ahead of Ali in pure speed.

[Big_Deuce]

how about current?

[Taeth]

If Larry Byrd is still fighting its him... He would also be up there as fastest heavyweight ever... when he was younger. He was even a pretty fast middleweight.

Tyson!, The epitomy of POWER.
Velocity x Mass= Power
Since we're talking about "punchers".
