What's up champ (mannmann)? Has Taylor-Green been signed?
And we want see this fight until possibly the end of the year or next. JT is fight Carl Froch for the super mddlwgt title in April 18th or 25th. Green will be on the undercard to set up a larger paydy fight once JT does what he needs to do!
I think that JT is a waaay better fighter w/o Emanuel Stewart in his corner. Anyone's thoughts on that??? Before & after(even though a couple of fights) Emanuel he was back to his roots...controlling the fights w/that "walk-n-humbler" jab!LOL In my opinion he had JT fighting like one of his heavies.

Hello
I was wondering if anyone could direct me where I could download boxing posters on the internet. Particularly high resolution ones from HBO's preview. I am especially looking for the Mayweather-Castillo 2002 one.
Thanks

> im with you manmann on the diaz vs marquez fight.
> diaz reminds me a lil bit of the great sal sanchez.
i admire both fighters, but i dont think diaz will pull this one off. look back at the loss to campbell, he out boxed diaz and was able not only to take diaz' power but bback him up. now marquez will deffinately be able to do so. im not saying marquez completely shuts out diaz as he did with juarez but still a win for marquez.
i think marquez will handle diaz simular to the way he faught juarez because they have simular styles with the obvious exception of diaz throwing more punches, but marquez hits harder and can take a pretty damn good punch (look at his last fight with pacquiao even with the knockdown.) marquez will also probably use good body work as we all know diaz has a strong chin so why not go to his soft body.
we'll see a UD for marquez but still some sustained action through out.
anynody else wanna weigh-in on this fight? im pretty damn excited about it. haha

Most of you probably don't give a damn but I can't wait to see the Allan Green vs Jermain Taylor fight. I've wanted to see this fight for awhile now and it's finally happening. This is a pick em fight from what my eye's can see. JT is a good fighter and so is Green. I want to say Green pulls it off, but I'm not sure yet, I'll make my prediction the week of the fight. Yall take it easy

Had he been healthy, they would have had better field position.

Not that I'm really a follower of American football but wasn't the final score 27-23? Ben Graham apparently didn't have particularly good game, but I suppose he was hampered by his injury somewhat.

Congratulations to the Steelers, champs of SuperBowl XLIII. Steelers lineman, Harrison, intercepts Kurt Warner and runs it back for over 90 yards, at the end of the 2nd quarter for a touchdown. Roethlisberger throws a touchdown, trailing 23-20 inside the 15 yd. line, over 3 defenders with less than 2mins. left in the game. A spectacular catch by WR Holmes, to seal the win. It was an exciting SuperBowl. T he Cardinals were trailing 20-7 in the 3rd quarter and manage to get ahead , 23-20 with only 3mins. left in the 4th quarter. Steelers win it 27-23. What a great game!
Correction, thanks man.

Yeah no doubt, he isn't going to KO Margarito, but he probably would have won on points if he didn't exhaust himself with all that running.
He was totally outclassing him. Shane did a great job of blocking almost all of the body blows that margarito tried to land. Those body shots killed Cotto.

I'm not sure Cotto has the physical strength or chin of Mosley to pull what Shane did off. Styles make fights player.

Cotto did not fight a very smart fight against margarito! He was winning the early rounds very easily and was throwing alot more punches then he had to. Also he never tried to clinch! whenever margarito would get close and connect he would run. You have to clinch in those situations.

It's pretty ironic considering Mosley's history with Balco.
I don't think Margarito could ever beat Shane. Shane totally out-muscled him in every round for every minute.
Margarito was shown to be pretty one-dimensional.
I bet Cotto is taking a crash course in clinching & holding right now down in Puerto Rico. If he would have clinched instead of doing all that running, that fight might have ended very differently. (And if Cotto's uncle would have checked Margarito's wraps).

for hitking60 your predictions regarding Marquez-Diaz fight is not sure. Marquez will demolish Diaz via the 10th and as to the Hatton-Pacquiao fight your prediction is more of a racist opinion not as a boxing aficianado. Am not a fan of the Pacman but a more of a Dela HOya fan. I've watch both fighters fight in their last 5 fights and I never saw improvement in Hattons boxing style. He doesn't have style. All brawns but no BRAINS. In boxing its "not only punches" that matters but SKILL, SPEED, POWER, AGILITY, INTELLIGENCE (that is Brains!), STYLE, etc. which I never saw from Hatton. He can punch but that's not enough to beat someone with the calibre and talent of Pacquiao. Pacquiao used to have only the Left hand as his weapon and his defense was careless but now as his fights came pouring in, he progressed and matured rapidly and his mindset and focus has been excellent. He has a powerful right hadn, quick double jabs and a decent defense. Hatton doesn't have these kind of qualities to match Pacquiao. Freddie Roach also have this kind of technique that is so effective that his wards chances of winning against all hopponents in their last 6 fights is 99% "KNOW THY ENEMY". Pacquiao's punches have more power than Hatton's. Only one boxer could match Pacman's speed, power, skill and agility, that is MR. DINAMITA himsef Juan Manuel Marquez. I'd love to see a third fight between these 2 warriors. I HAVE PACMAN WINNING BY KO OVER HATTON on the 8th or 9th round. It so happen that HATTON is a white guy mr hitking!
