BBC London 94.9 Thursday!

British: Cooper-Bugner. Calzaghe-Reid?

 

now then buncey lad, nice line up mate cheers.........

i would have loved to have seen lennox vs vittali rematch, even with lennox not at his best im sure he could have trained a litle harder before the rematch and give a better account of himself......

also, even though khan has vastly improved since the loss id love to see what would have happened with a direct rematch after the prescott loss.

cheers buncey.

 

i think we need to hear ricky's point of view with the alleged moving up talk......do you think this is a reason why he will not come on steve?

 

I think he's just a shy bloke, Miguel.

 

maybe mate, seem's a good lad on ringside though.

 

Cathy Duva would be good whatever happens. Find her interesting.

 

How about Naz-Barrera? Marco really put a beating on Naz first time around. But by this time Naz was cocky, brash, and even more arrogant than ever (no disrespect intended), walkin around like he was the best fighter on the plant. How about a rematch with a fully focused, fully trained, and fully determined Naz. Would the result have been any different?

Or Earl -Kastidis? I no this was talked about recently, but I would have loved a second war between the two

 

:good

 

The problem with Naz-Barrera rematch is that it's more to do with Hamed not wanting it again that politics. His head didn't seem in the right place.

Earl-Kats was a war though, would have been good to see again.

 

Calzaghe vs Reid stands out.

 

It was more of a thoughtful out-boxing than an ass-kicking surely?

Naz wouldn't have beaten him ever, imo. Marco was just too well-rounded and mature by that stage in his career. He wouldn’t have engaged in the close-range combat Hamed would have needed to land anything huge. No shame in losing to an ATG though.

 

correct, good post. I wouldnt agree with the shame though, there is shame if you claim to be an all time great yourself, only to have it made clear that you never were, or would be

 

Yeah that's what I meant DF. Beating is probably the wrong word. Boxing masterclass sums it up better.

I agree, there isn't no shame him losing to Marco who is phenomenal. But I think Naz could have seriously hurt him if his head was right. The guy had dynamite in both hands. With added focus and determination, I honestly believe he could have beaten Barrera. I also whole heartily believe that if Naz fought Erik Morales instead of Marco, he would have beaten him. Erik was much more interested in going to war, which probably would have played into Naz's hands. It's such a shame he wasted his talent. Then again, I might just be overrating him slightly

 

I'm not sure. He doomed himself with his arrogance and hubris long before that fight - even against Kelley the signs were there. Morales would have been a war, that's for sure.
