What a robbery.

If a 46 year old Evander can box like that against Valuev, heaven help the Beast from the East against the Klitschkos, Haye, Povetkin et al.

There are rumblings over here that say Mayweather might come out of retirement to face the winner of the potential Pacquiao/Hatton fight.

I would like to see if Mayweather could beat the winner of Margarito/Mosely fight also.

The Pacquiao/Hatton fight is off due to the purse.

I've just heard. Pacman should seriously take a look at who advises him. He'll never make as much money in a million years against any opponent as he would against Hatton.

And putting aside the money issues, I'm disappointed we didn't get to see the fight. Hatton - Pacman could've been the fight of the century, and now we're going to have to settle for Hatton - Oscar or Hatton - JM Marquez instead plain

There used to be a lot of good fights on TV.

Nothing recently, though.

Pacquiao v. Hatton is back on!!!

Although I would have to disagree with you about one thing Spike...

Hatton V. J.M. Marquez would have been a great matchup, maybe not in terms of money, but a fan favorite for sure.


Mosely V. Margurito tonight...

I hope Mosely has something left, or this can get ugly....

Maybe he will roid up like he did against Oscar tongue

Well congrats to Shane. I wonder if a rematch with Cotto is on the cards?

I was wrong about that one!!

Although, in my defense, Mosely has looked past his prime in his last four or five bouts.

Pacquiao, if he beats Hatton, and now Mosely, have created a mandate for Mayweather to come out of retirement or hurt his P4P status.

I think it is great he retired, more should....but he will need money soon, if some reports of his tax situation are true.

Yeah, I seriously doubt he has, "$600 million" like he said he did.

Wlad vs Haye!

Spike has been calling for this one for quite some time!

The 3 fight rematch clause is a wussy move by the Klit bros. I hope Haye knocks them both out, repeatedly. Unlikely, but would hope for it.

Well...

this is the most exciting fight to hit the Heavyweight Division in a long time.

I have only watched a hanful of Haye fights.

How does he do with taller, bigger men Spike?

Also....Pacman/Hatton is getting close....

Haye doesn't have much experience fighting taller fighters. Which was why I'd hoping he'd have a tune-up against a Tony Thompson or Riddick Bowe-esque fighter to get used to it.

But rumours are abound that he'll spar with Lennox Lewis for the Wlad fight, so he may get some practice in there.

Can't wait for Pacman versus the Hitman. Going to be the fight of the year. Maybe even bigger than Hatton - Mayweather.
