I have followed Haye since the amateurs and i just think he has what it takes. You are right, he isn't hot on defence and he does get dropped. However he has thunder in his fists and great attitude and fitness. The K's are the best 2 heavies around now but they have that solid,upright,relentless jabbing style which Haye would exploit. Also they have both been beaten,dropped and cut. finally they are not getting any younger.

So i would back him to beat them both,but not on the same night maybe! Give him a week in between to recover lol

HBO ran the video of Calzaghe/Jones Saturday night. Never a question of who won. Joe was all over Roy, who was just a shadow of his former self. The Jones of 6-7 years ago would have been faster than Calzaghe, and would have put up with Joe's flurries by outboxing him and tiring him out. This time around Roy spent far too much time against the ropes, getting battered. And, it was the first time I've seen him cut--which tells you how slow he's gotten.
Well-earned victory for Joe, but I feel bad for Roy. cry

Roy will still go down as one of the top 20 Boxers to ever step in the ring IMO. He needs to get out NOW though before he becomes a cliche of a past champ.

Calzaghe, was teasing him. Sticking his face in between Roy's gloves when he had him on the ropes etc. You know Jones has gotta go.

By the way Turnbull, you got a Top 5 list of your personal greatest fighters?

I'd say Sugar Ray Robinson, Mohammed Ali, Joe Louis, Henry Armstrong and (resching way back) Harry Greb. The first three are pretty obvious. The last two held multiple weight class titles simultaneously.

I watched a tape of Vic Darchenyan, aka "Raging Bull," Aussie via Armenia, take apart a very talented Mexican fighter, Christian Mijares, in 9. That guy comes to fight! Little guy, big heart.

Yes,Darchenyan is a great scrapper,my kind off fighter smile

UK's top pugilist Ricky Hatton goes in against Paulie "Magic Man" Maliagnaggi tonight. I think he will win on points,well he should do. Paulie will do plenty of running and showboating and is dead game but has no power so Ricky should hunt him down and do the business.

Yeah Darchenyan is a tough, talented little fighter. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves down here.

Yeah, Yogi, I'm looking forward to watching Hatton take on Maliagnaggi. I'm looking for a live stream right now actually.

Good fight for Hatton. I found this bout a little boring though. The ending was ridiculous. I couldn't believe M's corner threw in the towel at that particular point of the match. He was loosing the fight easily, But he was no where near a TKO when his corner stopped the fight. M even walked up to his trainer and pushed him because of it. Oh well. Good job Hatton.

Who's next for Hatton?

Paulie, no puncher he, had a chance to win on points if he'd moved and boxed. Instead he stood right in front of Ricky and absorbed punishment. He wasn't really in the fight for most rounds. McGirt throwing in the towel was a mixed call: pride vs. punishment? Paulie looked like he was crying.

Yeah, he did start crying a little bit. The frustration got to him.

I still think the McGirt move was a little premature.

I've never been impressed with Malignaggi. He has absolutely no power and his manufactured persona annoys me. As for Hatton, he wants the winner of DLH/Pacquiao.

I actually think Pac man could win this on points. If he stays away from DLH power, he could take this fight.

Top 20 but not top 10.

Good brave fighter but he should have been done a long time ago!

Hatton did ok but yes the ending was ridiculous. Buddy could have let Paulie see the final bell.

If DLH dies off in the last 3/4 rounds like he normally does then he could be in trouble against human whirlwind Manny.

His extra size should see him through.

Should?? whistle

Great news... the Antonio Margarito - Shane Mosley fight is back on. They will meet for Margarito's welterweight title on January 24. And the best part is that it will be on regular HBO, not HBOPPV.

Margarito. Probably on points.

Mosley has been a great fighter but the sands of time are running low for him now!

Margarito is a tough sonofabitch. Relentless,tough and at his very peak.

An Open Letter to David Haye:

Dear David,

Before you start calling out the Klitschko's, why don't you prove yourself you little bitch. We know at this point you won't fight me, you made that clear when you punked out of our last fight and decided to fight Monte instead. I'm asking you for a favor, since you weren't man enough to fight me, then at least be man enough and tell the world the truth about what happened with our fight and that you pulled out because you are a scared bitch. Dude you beat Monte Barrett, dude is washed up and can't punch, and still almost knocked you out. You think he is someone because he beat that joke Tye Fields in his last fight? You beat one heavyweight and looked like shit doing it and now want to call out the Klitschko's? I mean if I were you, a blown up cruiserweight, with no chin, I'd probably do the same thing, so technically I can't blame you. You tasted Barrett's weak ass power, realized that if you face a real heavyweight, like me, you will get knocked out cold, so call out the Klitschko's and make people believe you can beat them. You know you are going to get knocked out by them anyways so in your mind at least make a little bit of money before the truth comes out about you that you are a joke. Smart! But listen, I am a forgiving person, I will give you a chance to prove yourself by fighting me. You have any balls you will accept my challenge. If not, no worries everyone over here in the U.S. already thinks you are a bitch. I am going to be heavyweight champion of the world either way.

Before you go out calling people on my hit list check with me first.
Have a good holiday.

All the best,

The Greatest Heavyweight in the World

Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson

Awwww,a heart felt open letter from Fatty Johnson grin

Haye could beat him wearing a blindfold,one glove tied behind his back whilst hopping on one leg.

Of course now Haye is getting some serious momentum and publicity,what better way to promote yourself than coming out with this sort of self deluded crap?

Hopkins for me because he is still winning even in his 40's.

Jones has been on the slide for a few years now.

We have a lot of Filipinos who work at our hospital as cleaners. They are all mad boxing fans and not surprisingly treat Manny as a God. Me and my pal like to wind them up by saying Oscar will knock him out and watch them go into a "Manny frenzy" lol

Yeah Manny has that appeal, He's a good guy.

Also, I always tend to root for the underdog in situations like this.

I have no money to buy this on PPV, But I always seem to find an online live stream, so Hopefully I can catch this.

Let me know if you find that online live stream whisper. Post the link here if you could. I want to see the fight but I won't be able to order it on PPV.
