What do you think about his brother coming back?

I hope he's able too. I was upset about his injury, because I felt he had many more years left in him.

Im hoping Wladimir gets a chance to fight either Maskaev or Valuev soon. Neither one of those guys impresses me at all, I think Wladimir would stomp both of them. I think boxing needs a heavyweight who can unify the titles and I think Wladimir has a great chance to do that.

It isn't even going to be that interesting of a fight, emotionally or tactically.

Kessler/Calzaghe is definitely a fight in the making, though I would love to see old man Hopkins take on Calzaghe before he hangs them up.

Your probably right about the Mayweather/DeLaHoya fight, but Im hoping Oscar turns it into a good fight. If nothing else, Oscar has heart and sometimes thats enough. I think Mayweather is far more skilled than Oscar and Mayweather should dominate the fight, but for some reason I think Oscar will step up.

I would hate to see Hopkins beat Calzaghe before a Kessler/Calzaghe matchup can be made. I think it would take away from Kessler beating up on Calzaghe. Kessler has no respect out here, but thats probably his own fault for not leaving his country to fight.

I hope so. The man has form. I love how he knocked his last opponent out without using his right hand once. We need more champion boxers who are Doctors. This is where I hope Vitali comes in, and to be honest I would really like to see Wladimir and Vitali see their dream of both of them holding championship belts at the same time.

I think Mayweather-de la Hoya is going to be a boring fight if you are looking for a knockout. I say Mayweather by decision.

Well Mannfredo didn't last too long.

That was a terrible stoppage! I know Manfredo wasnt throwing any punches for about 10 seconds straight, but he was never hurt and he was keeping his gloves up. Never should've been stopped...

Looking forward to that fight as well. But ****, I wish I could afford it. Solis is undefeated so far, I believe.

Pac-Man gets an 8th round KO. Pac had to overcome some adversity, a clash of heads opened up a small cut in the 6th round. Solis was a game fighter but he was just completley outgunned.

**** Yeah!
