Erik Morales v Marco Antonio Barrera proves why i love boxing. Simply brilliant.
Thinking on there was a richness in the 70's and 80's for British boxers - Jim Watt, John Conteh and Alan Minter to name a few - all proper scrapper who took batterings along the way. I saw quite a few fight cards back then in the early 80's - a lot of ABA stuff at the old Wembley Arena. Frank Bruno must have only been 18 or 19 when I first saw him in the flesh - Not actually fighting but happened to be at one Wembley boxing night, he walked past me and "phew" What a presence ! Just an immense physique.
Does anyone think Khan has what it takes?
Told ya! :up:
I watched that fight live, charged up with beer, so you can imagine the roaring at the TV! Best fight ever imo, those two are the reason I never rated Hamed.
Barrera schooled Hamed badly in their fight.

Are you going 'on the line'?
Hamed? Are you serious? He wasn't in the same league as any of the others. At genuine top world level he got shown up for the sham that he was.
I agree, Hamed was shit, he had one fight against someone good and got a lesson
Pacquiao - if he's drug free, he's a phenomenon. Thats a big if
Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera - if you've never seen their first fight, watch it. The best fight I've ever seen live.
Have you seen Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo, their first fight? I'll agree that Morales v Barrera was amazing but if you haven't seen the fight I just mentioned please do
Manny is the best around at the moment, Cash Money is dodging him and hiding behind drug allegations.
Its pretty well known in the boxing circles that Pac is dodging Floyd, quite a few fighters have said that its known Pac's team dont want in with Floyd, money would box circles around the fool. Plus some of Roachs fighters in the past have tested positive for drugs (James Toney for example, Roach said he knew he was taking them aswell) so why shouldnt floyd be wary of the chance Pac is taking something. The way things are going now, quite a few bigger fighters are now demanding olympic testing for their fights - Andre Ward and Allan green fight later this year is going to have it. The real question is why is Pac and his team so scared for him to take the test? The guy is a fraud:beer:
