June 15, 200421 yr This topic is probaly coming a few days to soon, but as you can tell im new to this board and was wondering if there were any boxing fans here? I follow boxing just as much as I do baseball so thats why im curious if theres any other boxing fans out there....
June 15, 200421 yr Boxing basicly has all but murdered itself by being on HBO and Showtime, and shutting off many viewers, especially younger ones.
June 15, 200421 yr Author Yea I guess that true, but I love it. I get hbo, showtime and ppv so I can keep up with all the mega bouts and I just love the excitement.
June 15, 200421 yr I'm a casual follower of boxing but I'm mostly limited to what I see on HBO and other basic cable channels. I'd have to say Pretty Boy Floyd is #1 in my pound for pound rankings right now.
June 15, 200421 yr Author I have Bernard P4P #1. Floyd is a great fighter, but he has not had that mega fight yet. I would love to see him vs Gatti, although Gatti isnt that great, but it would be fun to watch. I put Hopkins p4p #1 because theres no way you can look past i think 16 now? consecutive defenses of his middle weight title. That type of thing is very rare, and hes still going. He didnt look too great against Allen in his last fight, but he admitted he fought not to lose, which made it boring and made him look bad, but why take the risk of losing where if you win your probably going to face Oscar De La Hoya and get your biggest payday ever.
