    "Fast" Eddie Chambers. Also my opinion on the state of today's boxing. Arturo Gatti is found dead!!! Wow!

    Gatti was a true warrior, and over achieved most of his career. He will be sorely missed by fight fans. He fought the best and always tried to give it his all.

    Back to today's boxing. Well, lets thank Mr. Arum for not making Abraham-Pavlik...the only middleweight fight that mattered. No sane fan thinks that Pav was scared of Abraham, but Mr. Arum was scared for his fighter...lets just keep it real. Abraham is finally going to 168(thank God), and he WILL become the best SMW soon. End of story.

    Fast Eddie Chambers went to Germany and stunned many fans including myself. I didn't know anything about Dimitrenko, and had only saw highlights of the man. He seemed beatable though. Povetkin also was beatable, but Chambers didn't dig down deep enough to win...even though he busted and swelled Povetkin up. These big heavies like Dimitrenko along with the Klit brothers can be had.

    There just isn't enough talent in the division at the moment, but Arreola, imo will always have a chance against the Klit brothers(Wlad), and Deontay Wilder is at least 2 years away. When was the last time you saw the HVW champ not have a tough challenge, or even a tough challenge on the horizon? You mean that Haye and Arreola(no disrespect) are boxings only hopes to upset the heavy weight champions of the world???

    Roy Jones fighting Jeff Lacy is disgusting.

    Why can't Cunningham get a rematch with Adamek? Rigth now this is the only fight that matters at CW.

    Even though I'm ready to see Agbeko face Darchinian, when is Darchinian going to rematch Donaire...WHEN...!!!???

    Is Cotto going to still risk debilitating his body to fight Pac @ a catch weight??? I hope not. Pac wants the fight at 143 so I hope the fight is not made.

    There is no excuse as to why Floyd-Pac shouldn't be made in 2010 if both men win their next fights. We'll see who the real ***** is by November. Pac-Floyd should be negotiating a fight right now lol...

    Who wants to see Froch-Kessler...I do. Who wants to see Abraham-Bute...I do.

    When is JuanMa going to face a real threat? Caballero is waiting...

    Panamanian boxing is back. Guillermo Jones, Celestino Caballero, Ricardo Cordoba and Anselmo Moreno are world champions, and the up and coming stable of fighters are showing promise.

    Just wanted to bring up some boxing news since I've been away. I know you guys probably spoke about these topics, but I had to post it.

    Peace!!!

    Was he murdered, or was it natural?

    The word is he was killed, hit by a blunt object in the back of head or something.

    It's a for-sure thing now. Same with Corrales. Maybe not first ballot, but they will.
