    "Danger Zone" for De La Hoya-Mayorga was corny as ****. So was "Pretty Risky" for Mayweather-Baldomir. I liked "The World Awaits" for Mayweather-De La Hoya. "The Sound and the Fury" for the Holyfield-Tyson rematch, with a touch of Shakespeare in there, was cool.

    "Sworn Enemies" for Mayweather-Judah was corny, given the fact that they were friends for awhile and that Floyd even said he called Zab to console him after he lost to Baldomir.

    FYI, The Sound and the Fury is a Faulkner novel, not a Shakespearean play.

    Don't mean to be a dick. I'm just an English major.

    Yeah, but wasn't the title of the novel inspired by a line from Macbeth?

    Are you serious? I can see how you hated "Danger Zone" and "Sworn Enemies", but "Pretty Risky" was a great fight title. It was better than the Acutual fight. The worst one was "Lewis Tyson is on" and this is how they had the poster:
    Lewis
    Tyson
    Here are some good ones; "The Right to Right", "Rumble in the Jungle", and "Pride N Punishment"

    Wasn't McClellan/Jackson II "Don't Blink"? I guess I like the ones that seem to actually fit the fight.

    I've just been pwn3d.

    Good call. I've actually never read Macbeth. My professors would disown me.

    Pretty Risky was horrible.

    Does anyone remember what was it for Hopkins - De La Hoya.
