Yeah, I goofed...it's for said "for the WBO interim 154lb title". I seriously need to actually read the full sentences. :lol:
Rick Reeno's reporting that Rees is injured w/ a possible broken nose and that the fight's off.
Off the top of your head, how many of those opponents can you name (other than perhaps Rosendo Alvarez)?
Yeah, it's a solid comeback fight. Reeno said the plan was 2-3 fights before Abraham...which I find interesting if Abraham is struggling to...
Did you think Phillips beat Spinks?
I think Lucian Bute is a bit under-appreciated. He tends to get glossed over when people talk(ed) about 168 after Calzaghe moved up. It's not a...
According to Rick Reeno at Boxingscene. The match-up looks better as a rehab assignment than it did when it was first talked about. Kelly...

From Boxingscen: Bernard Hopkins: “Roy Jones Jr. Will Be My Final Fight†Posted by: Mark Vester on 10-20-2008. By Mark Vester...
Boxingscene:
He may have to reign for a while, because I don't see a lot of fighters around 160/168 for Pavlik establish his "very good(ness)" against.
It's really a shame what Wright's done to his career, though. He's made it easy to push him aside. I still would love to see him fight...
And super middleweight. And heavyweight. Like Musze said, Hopkins gets middleweight by default.
I think he's solid at best but featherweight is pretty barren right now.
I don't particularly like digging up old threads, but I'm doing it in this case because the phrase - and praise - Lampley used during...
And how green Pavlik was when he fought Hopkins.
But Trinidad had actually done something noteworthy at the weight he fought Hopkins at. Pavlik had no business - outside of money, and some...
I would have rather see him fight Glen Johnson or Chad Dawson than Pavlik or Jones. I never liked Calzaghe-Pavlik from a competitiveness...
Yeah, but Trinidad was actually fighting at middleweight.
I guess I don't put as much emphasis on light heavyweight fights involving middleweights...junior, medium or super sized. Hopkins is...
Well, I wouldn't try to come up with an all-time list. I'd focus on one during the time I've followed the sport (or going back to the era where...
It swings after every fight, apparently.
Judging from this list, HBO deserves more credit for Building Legends than they already do.
But he never beat Kelly Pavlik.
Hopkins is like a basketball player that finishes with more career points, Jones with more MVP's/scoring titles. Longevitiy closes the gap for...
It's not like there's a ton of great cashout options at heavyweight. The biggest paydays guarantee certain beatings.
He already talked about it...then wised up.
I'd put the Trinidad win above Pavlik. By a decent margin.
I think a more interesting quesiton is Hopkins or Toney.
Trinidad was a p4p fighter, granted, but most of that was done south of 160 and the template of how to outbox him was clearly evident in the DLH,...
