    This is just a pipedream. Won't happen. Heard it all before plus none of the guys mentioned are household names or are exciting. Not capturing my imagination anyway

  5. I'd like to see a british one with our middles.. Macklin... .Barker.. Murray.. etc...

    Or with the heavies.. Price... Fury. Chisora..

    Pretty unlikely though I know.

    Just watched Cloud vs Campillo, decent fight.
    112-114

    Only gave 1,4,6 and 11 to Cloud. All bar the oprner were debatable too.
    Quite liked Campillo not seen much of him though.

    Love my Boxing Scorecard app:D

    I would prefer a tourney like the one don king put on at middleweight to a super 6 one. Less fuss, same result.

    agree with your score. But as the challenger and 'away' fighter I thought he needed to close the show a little bit stronger, the crowd were on his side but its the promoters who seems to influence the judges more these days.

    Apart from Hopkins these guys don't have any options, Clev does but ****** will want a piece of this. Money is leaving the sport and HBO showtime will demand unification fights in the future. Nothing will happen around 140-154 because pac/floyd are the target for everyone.

    ****** would give up Burns and Mitchell if he could get a lightweight tourney on Boxnation.

    Would not rule out an anglo American german tourney at 160 either.

    He was absolutely ****ed over vs Shuemenov. Imagine Lacy getting the nod over Calzaghe and you've got some idea.

    Don King is the KING of crooks! I am still angry about the robbery! Campillo is a really good fighter and should have gotten the decision, but Don King's judges will do only what Don King tells them to do!
