Xplosive has been slacking off lately, and hasn't made this thread in at least 6 months, so that is why I am doing it. For me: Kelly Pavlik Arthur Abraham Humberto Soto Joel Casamayor Miguel Cotto
Maybe he's slacking off... because Rainmaker started the same thread less than a week ago? :dunno: http://www.fightbeat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21923
We should start a new thread posting that Mike Tyson highlight video followed by a thread asking where Juan "Pollo" Valenzuela has gone, and followed by an Alexa update.
Floyd Mayweather Manny Pacquiao Andre Ward Kelly Pavlik Paul Williams I'm indifferent about most fighters. The only fighters I'd say I'm a big fan of are Floyd and Manny. In fact I might actually be pulling for Jermaine Taylor in the rematch even though I'm more of a Pavlik fan.

Margarito Dawson Adamek Kessler Katsidis Taylor Forbes Mosely Bika Wlad Hide Karmazin Still a racist list, but it could have been worse.

I like both Taylor and Pavlik...I like Pavlik more because I like his fighting style more. I guess after seeing how Taylor was bashed on the radio in his hometown and how it was said that some of his Little Rock fans were turning on him, I felt bad for him and wanted to see him do well. Normally I'm like "why the hell would I have sympathy for a millionaire?", but I think it's good for the sport when a pro boxer is one of the biggest sporting figures in a certain area (Arkansas), so I want to see him do well. A loss in a non-title bout wouldn't hurt Pavlik all that much provided it was competitive. I expect Pavlik to stop Taylor inside of 6 rounds though.
