Anymore Thrilla's out there

[Replies: 54]
It's been 33 years since Ali & Frazier's Thrilla in Manila. Do you think there will be another fight of this magnitude again that not only captured so much attention now but is still remembered 30+ years later?

im pretty sure if pacman wins he will not return to the welterweight division...he still has many worthy oponents in the super feather weight division and unfinished business in the lightweight division.

You might be right but when people beat Oscar it usually opens up for a rush of big money fights and I happen to think if he somehow goes in there and convincingly beats him and he's comfortable at that weight then he'll definetly have options. PacMan has the chance to show the world that he can be the best P4P fighter but what comes with that tag is a lot of great fighters throwing money at you hoping to get a chance at that spot. It's a lot of ifs so I guess we'll have to wait and see. Preciate the response.

Arreolla should start making some noise real soon and I think he should shake up the heavyweight picture when he gets the chance to contend in a true title fight. Other than that a roy jones and hopkins rematch wouldn't be bad, even though I think the weeks leading up to the fight would have potential of being more interesting with those 2 personalities clashing. If Pacquio beats Oscar I would like to see him fight maybe a cotto or a Mosley.

Actually Verno's a good choice. He's not overly dangerous and he brings a belt with him. That gives Williams some leverage to get into the mix for the money fights at JrMW.

Who wants to see Oscar and Manny?
Does anyone really want to see Delahoya bully another small guy? I guess his farewell tour is going to be low risk. Steve Forbes, Manny Pacquia, who's next? This fight is bad for boxing.
