The Heavyweight Division is Dead. None Of The World Ranked Heavyweights Will Be The Next Great. We Need a New Young Dude That's Gnna Clean Up And Become Undisputed Champion.
im Not Really Bothered About Which Division i Watch Lol And i Donno About Any Up And Coming Fights Since i Pay Less Attention To Boxing These Days.

yes really. MMA > boxing. and ufc bought pride and closed it down.
next UFC fight is: 3/1/08
Silva vs. Henderson for the title. Should be a great fight. The rest of the card is pretty good as well.

Are u Kidding Me? Tyson Cleaned Up Anyone Who Got in His Way. Who Did Lennox Lewis Beat? a Washed Up Holyfield, a Washed Up Tyson And Lost To Nobodies Like Oliver McCall And Hasim Rahman. Lewis Was Champion Of a Failing Division And He Wouldn't Have Survived Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe Or Spinks in Their Primes.
Tyson Was Beating The Shit Out Of Every Top 10 Heavyweight in His Way Back When Di'Amato Was Still Alive And He Had a Little Guidance in His Life. Even When Di'Amato Died, Tyson Was Still Kicking Ass (KO'd Trevor Berbick in Round 2, KO'd Michael Spinks in Round 1), i Could Go On.
Only Reason Tyson Never Kept That Consistency is Because Di'Amato And His Assistant Both Died And Don King Stepped in To 'Save' Tyson But Had Ulterior Motives Of His Own. Tyson Got it Bad, He Had No Guidance Apart From Di'Amato And The Assistant Dude (Can't Remember His Name). Don King Just Wanted Money, And Robyn Givens Tried To Take Over His Whole Camp. Then Came The Jail Time And All That Crap, He's Never Been Good Since The Late 80's When He Actually Still Had Some Control Over His Life.
With That Said, He Should've Learned To Cope With it Back Then instead Of Fucking Everything Up For Himself. (Don King And Robyn Givens Fucked it Up The Most But Tyson Should've Been Grown Up Enough To Deal With it in a Mature Way). But He Was Just a Homeless Kid From The Streets in And Out Of Reform School Anyway How Well Do u Think He'd Deal With That Shit? Should've Dealt With it in The Ring.

Damn if u like boxin u gotta watch the Manny Pacquiao v Juan Manuel Marquez fight. I think its around the start of March. they fought a few years ago and Marquez got knocked down 3 times in the first round and the fight ended a draw. Definitely one of the best fights I seen. their ranked number 2 and 3 pound for pound fighters in the world behind Mayweather. Its gonna be a good fuckin fight
Also Hopkins is gonna get his ass retired by Joe Calzaghe. Hes a british world champ undefeated in about 40 fights. All the americans been avoidin him for years. Think that fights in march too maybe april.
Yeah there aint been that many good fights recently. All the heavyweights are shit Russian dudes. I was disappointed with Hatton against Mayweather too. Dude got out classed big time. He had to step up a weight for that fight and I think it showed.
Btw anyone heard of Scott Harrison (dom maybe) hes my second cousin. He was a fuckin good boxer til he lost the plot lol. Hes supposed to be makin a comeback if he gets his license back

Prince Naseem was the fuckin man. he coulda been an all time great.

He's Good But He's No World-Beating Great imo.
Naseem Made The Shit Look Easy. Until He Ran into Marco Antonio Barerra Lol.

yeah he kinda gave up after that. that division has the best fights.
Barrera is a good fighter
Pacquiao has beat Barrera twice and Marquez has beat him once
