    Corrie Sanders was 6 ft 4 and he sparked Vitali.
    Sam Peter was 6ft 2 and he should have beaten Vitali
    David Haye lost comprehensively to Wlad but Wlad never got to him.

    Ali was 6ft 3.

    The boy Eubank looked great. some of the movement is fighteningly like the old man..

    over. he won on tko. Nothing coming back. The opponent had a tight guard. I know it tells us nothing but he has real poise about himself. Very impressed.

    116-112???

    The motherfucking judge that scored it like that took a bung. Pure and simple. Even Khan, who works under the same coach and is mates with Manny had JMM down as the winner. JMM won it 115-113 for me also.

    The 116-112 card meant that judge gave Marquez only 4 rounds......

    Bob Arum is delighted.

    Been up all night so I am ****ing tired and will have to probaly watch it again, but seriously that 116-112 card is an utter embarrassment to boxing. Bob Arum will probaly match up Peanut head (Tim Bradley) and Manny for a nice inhouse fight. The fight with PBF is not going to happen. Not until Arum is gone, also even Manny will have doubts after this showing.

    I'm an old bastard who's seen about 50 years of boxing. I've seen some absolute shocking decisions. I'm not going to say that the Pac points win over Marquez was right or wrong, but it looked pretty bad. But the game has always been bad. Promoters run the game. All's well when a promoter gets his hands on a super athlete like Ali, because they can continue to do the job, the problem comes when very good champions who are a step below the all time greats. From time to time they run into someone who can beat them. This is when the "money machine" needs to be protected.

    As for the best fighter, I'm an Ali fan all the way. He was voted the Sportsman of the 20th century. The best sportsman or woman, of any sport, in 100 years. Of course a lot of that has to do with publicity, being famous and all, but it says a lot. 6 ft 3 inches of speed. Both hand and foot. It has to be born in mind that Ali was put out of the game for a couple of years, at the prime of his career. He came back more cunning, but he no longer had that blind speed of his youth. he had great length to match his hand speed. He stayed away and frustrated the best of them. I'm firmly of the belief, that if he'd not been stripped of his title, and been allowed to continue without that break, Frazier would not have beaten him. But of course, that's just conjecture.

    I think Pele was a bestesterer boxer than Ricky Haton pound for pound.

    Note the way Ali is holding on for grim death after another fantastic combination from the great Pele.

    Surely you're not accusing Booby of being a racist or sunfink? <grr>

    Ali is indeed the PELE of Boxing & pound for pound both are much betterer human beings and sportsmen than Ricky Hatton
