True, true...but Vitali being so rusty and still probably waiting for the HGH or steroids to pass through his system (ooh, did I say that? :) AND Wlad often fighting so scared, make any of these fights at least worth watching. That's all one can ask for in this moribund division.

THERE WAS NO PHANTOM PUNCH! LISTON WAS HIT SO HARD THAT THE BACK OF HIS NECK PUFFED OUT; ALSO, THERE WAS AN OVERHEAD CAMERA THAT RECORDED THE PUNCH CLEARLY THAT WAS HIDDEN FOR AWHILE TO KEEP THIS B.S. GOING. TOO BAD YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGHT FOR YOU COULD HAVE TIMED THE PUNCH TO SEE THAT LISTON TRULY WAS HIT, EVEN ROLLED OVER AND FELL BACK DOWN. NOW I KNOW MANY LOVE INTRIGUE AND CONSPIRACIES, BUT ANYONE THINKING THAT MAFIA WOULD GIVE UP A MONEY MAKER LIKE LISTON TO THE MUSLIM IS SNORTING SOMETHING. BESIDES, MUHAMMAD ALI HAD ALREADY BEATEN LISTON SO BADLY THAT THE ONLY ROUND HE WON WAS THE 5TH ROUND WHEN ALI COULD NOT SEE! SO TO ALL FIGHT FANS THAT THINK THERE WAS A PHANTOM PUNCH IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE A VICTIM OF COMMENTATORS WITH AN AGENDA LIKE TODAY?S CASINO CHEERLEADERS CHEERING THEIR HAND PICKED FIGHTERS TO SWELL THEIR PIECE OF THE ACTION WITHOUT GIVING A DOG GONE ABOUT THE FANS! I DON?T THINK THAT FIGHT COMMENTATORS SHOULD RECEIVE A PERCENTAGE OF THE PURSE FOR IT TRANSFORMS THEM INTO BIAS PROMOTERS.

PEACE & LOVE

Remember, these guys can KO you with either hand. Klitschkos are still one of dangerous fighters at HW, and I like them, but Peter from what I saw can do what they can and hes not even related to them.

Peter won last night, the fight was very impressive. For Peter. I think he will be the one who will clean up the HW. Little Klitschko had trouble with this guy and was down a few times. Peter just needs to watch out for big brother Klitchko, he gave Lewis problems. Yes, big brother is coming back. I believe it will be between Peter and big brother Klitschko.

Ok lets see Klitschko fight Peters after the first win over peters outcome was a (Decision) Let him prove to us that he is the champ and not trying to get these wins by the hair on chin!

I wouldn't miss Haye-Maccarinelli for the world mate. I too think Haye will land the Hayemaker on Enzo at some point. I have my doubts about Haye's continued success going up in weight in the future. He's Lennox Lewis-lite in my opinion.

Just a quick one to say I'm super excited for the David Haye fight tonight against Enzo. I think it'll be a right tear up for the Undisputed Cruiserweight Championship, and my advice is to all you fight fans to tune in, to see a right tear up. Big power, dodgy chins. My pick-Haye by Knockout.

I would like to see David Tua vs. Samuel Peter and Nicolai Valuev vs. Wladimir Klitschko.

Yes, one of the best heavyweight fights in recent memory. Tua had some great moments early in his career...this fight (even in losing) and his destruction of Ruiz. But we know he everything turned out after that...

Allegedly, Ibeabuchi was snake-bitten by a witch doctor or something? On the real, I read that somewhere...

Klit is garbage.. He does not want to get hit... everytime he is about to get hit.. he hold the opps... He uses that jab which is what he is supposed to do but damn box sometime. Thats why he will never do a pay per view.. Sameul Peters can beat him.. He went about it wrong the first time... and was in terrible shape... HE has been really strong in heis last coule fights... WE will see..

There are certain people that insinuate that an older african american promotor with a rather unusual hair style may have played a part in Ike's demise.

It sounds crazy, could it be true?

His fight with Tua-#1 contender at the time, was great! Unbelievable outputs for big guys. That compubox record won't be broken by any of the HW left-overs anytime soon.

And his KO over Byrd? Brutal.
