Who will clean up the big mess left by Lennox Lewis when he left? I feel it will be Lamon Brewster.

The heavyweight division is lame at the moment, but yeah Brewster is maybe the best of the bunch.

I've only seen one of Valuev's fights, the last one against Ruiz, and he wasn't very impressive at all. He was slow, as you'd expect from someone his size, and it didn't look like he punches particularly hard for someone of his size either. Obviously his biggest strength is the fact that he's bloody massive and that's always gonna make him awkward. He's looks very beatable though, and if he leaves Germany and fights someone decent he will get beaten.

I agree, Matt Skelton is good, he's a tough old brawler, and he's probably the best British heavyweight, although that's really not much of an achievement at the moment. He's fighting Danny Williams soon, isn't he? I hope that fight is alot more exciting than the Williams/Harrison fight. Don't even get me started on that one.:roll:

I just watched Zab Judah lose. I can't believe it! I don't think Mayweather should even fight him now. What about Vargas/Mosley? I think it will either be Vargas by KO or Mosley by decision.

I hope you americans are ready for th Ricky Hatton Show in the states.

He's gonna Bop his way to the Top 8) Well he's at that stage pretty much anyway. Mayweather is gonna get japped.

He owns 2 belts and wants more. I like it when fighters want to unify the belts pity most fighters are happy with one. At least in the old days whoever had the bely was No.1 no questions asked.

=; :lol:

Hatton is WBA and IBF World champion and has wupped 2 world champions in his last 2 fight. He beat Tsyzu who was rated best lb for lb in the world.

Also watch out for Clazaghe. most underated boxer in the world. Magazines like the Ring reckon also and they are the bible on boxing.

Did anybody see either of the two fights Saturday?  First of all, poor Floridian Jeff Lacy, who was undefeated, got his face knocked off by Calzagi of Wales.  Next, my up and coming Miguel Cotto TKO'd an aging Italian guy in a nonillustrious fight.

It's like they have said for years. Everyone has avoided Joe and he showed why last night!

Undefeated as an Amateur. 41-0 as a pro. This guy deserves to be mentioned as a great.

Lacy is a good fighter Joe C is a GREAT fighter.
