What will be the next superfight to rival PBF DLH?

[shza]

I'm from SF and I CAN'T STAND Andre Ward. He also has a terrible chin and will get KO'd once he steps up the comp. He went down against Darnell Boone -- not exactly top competition (or even an experienced fighter).

He doesn't have a terrible chin. Did you even see him go down? He got hit on the top of the head, on the temple. Not exactly the chin. Boone is a game guy and probably the best guy he's faced. Boone just beat James Johnson, the highly regarded Floridian fighter.

I did see the fight, but granted it was a while ago (when it happened--haven't bothered to watch it again). So I'll take your word for it. Boone is a terrible fighter though. I've had the misfortune of seeing him a few times on Shobox as well. The guy's lost a ton of fights to bums.

I can not understand how you can hate him. He's one of the most likable guys out there, impossible to root against. And he has looked so much better since the layoff and taking a break from the TV publicity.

Ok, let me explain: I'm not a religious person. I have no problem with people who are, as long as they keep it reasonably to themselves. If a fighter wants to say "first of all, I gotta thank God," like many do, fine. But Andre Ward can't stop with the fucking preaching any time you put a mic in front of him. Plus the biblical shit on his trunks and robes and trainers' outfits. It bothers me. Not the fact that he happens to hold whatever beliefs he does, but the fact that he comes off as a crazy zealot. He's not someone I'd ever want to hang out with, or even see another interview with. And I find it hard to root for someone whose personality and mannerisms bother me so much.

He also has a tendency to rabbit punch.

And just wondering, what part of SF you from?

I'm FROM d.c., so maybe I don't count. But i live in bernal heights now.

[chum112]

Mundine vs Kessler.

[ICB]

Shane Mosley vs Mayweather

Hatton vs Cotto

[b][Those fights will not sell like DLH v PBF./b]

I dint say they would fight im just making the observation that there are not many huge fights out there.

Well if they don't what will ??

[BIG H]

Pac v Valero

Diaz v Casamayor

Mosely v Cotto

Taylor v Abraham

Calzaghe v Kessler

R Marquez v Caballero

[Tysonbruno]

Shane Mosley vs Mayweather

Hatton vs Cotto

Mosely vs Mayweather would be a massive fight but think Hatton vs Cotto would be just a big fight

I can understand that. I used to dislike Evander Holyfield for the very same reason.

Ward is a genuine guy though, doesn't say much but he's really a good guy. My family is good friends with his lifetime pastor, he was practically raised in the Church. But in the half or dozen or so times I've talked to him, religion has never come up or anything. But he does have bring the church crowd to his events. But I can understand how you don't like him because of that, like I said, Holyfield used to get on my nerves with that as did Ike.

And I've been to Bernal a few times before, my Aunt used to live right there on Bayshore, right by that seafood place.

Dela Hoya-Trinidad is an obvious Candidate that I haven't seen yet.

[chuckyboy481]

I like the call Lyle made about Chad Dawson in the Light Heavyweight Division. I'm interested to see if Tarver will ever want a piece of him. I think he could mow down Clinton Woods. As for another fight to rival pbf vs odh...I'm not real sure. I maybe could see Hatton vs. Mayweather just because it would be labeled as some type of international conflict. That would bring alot of crazies out of the woodwork to watch the fight. There are several other good fighters out there that could face eachother. The problem is that none of these fighters face eachother until one of them is nearing the end of their career. But I would watch Paul Williams with a close eye. I think this guy has HUGE things ahead of him.

Shane Mosley vs Mayweather

Hatton vs Cotto

Kessler/Calzaghe

[Preme]

david haye v enzo mac II 5 years time (ish) at heavy weight!

[Puya]

Shane Mosley vs Mayweather

Hatton vs Cotto

I second the Motion and let me add Kessler-JC and Miranda and JT

[albsur2006]

Hatton-Mayweather would be every bit as big in the UK (maybe bigger) than Floyd-DLH.

Other than that, I'm prepared to sit back and wait.

When Ali retired, everyone said "Who can ever replace Ali?"
Then when Tyson fell apart, everyone said "Who can replace Tyson?"
Then after Tyson-Lewis, everyone said, "There are no megafights left."

Whenever it seems like there are no stars left, someone comes out of nowhere. There have always been big fights in boxing and there always will be. Who will be the fighters of the next megafight? Who knows, that's what's interesting.

Agreed. Outside of any fight involving De La Hoya, Floyd vs Hatton in the UK is the richest fight in the sport and probably the best fight too.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Shane Mosley vs Mayweather

Hatton vs Cotto

Yep, those two fights for sure. Mayweather v Mosley would have to happen this year for it to be relevant. Mosley is 35! Calzaghe V Kessler in Britain only would be massive at this point, Calzaghe V Taylor in the US.
A long shot, what if Tszyu changes his mind and challenged Mayweather at 147lb now!
One last role of the dice against the Pretty boy?

[Punisher136]

after seeing all the sports shows shit all over boxing after this fight, it has to come from the heavyweight division. Vitali needs to stay healthy and clean shop.

I dont think floyd facing an inactive over the hill tszyu would be a big fight and im a kt fan.
