    I bet you didn't know John Cazale was dating Meryl Streep when he died.

    Cannot take fighters with a 40 inch waist seriously.

    He was in only 5 movies- every one of them nominated for an academy award.

    Godfather
    Godfather II
    Dog Day Afternoon
    The Deerhunter
    The Conversation

    Great loss.

    Chagaev looked in shape yesterday, not like he was in the last years, so i was very surprised.. may Mr. Diaz is really good for him.

    I would have liekd to see the fight going the distance, cause you can't read anything out of this one.. Pianeta took a stupid left hook to the ear that he should not have taken.. and it was over.. a wonder he survived 2:57 then..

    btw.. it was a missmatch in my eyes..

    If Caggy come against Oquendo in the same shape and finishs him by KO I would say he has really changed somethig.

    The fight with Browne will show then finally if Caggy can be a real contender again

    Makes it even more of a tragic waste!

    Imagine the weird looking (but immensely skilled in acting) children they could've produced!

    Drank/drugged himself to death in his prime.

    Actually wasn't a coked out James Caan with him when he died? It was on the Godfather II set or something, right?

    Chagaev just punched his way into a big fight. I think Wilder vs Chagaev is a very interesting fight.

    Only problem is he gets stripped if he doesn't face Oquendo and then Browne. Without a belt no way does Wilder fight him.
    Wilder will fight Arreola provided he wins this wkend. Then will have to face Povetkin.
