    Easy guys, before you all say "yes" :yikes

    I am from the UK. I tend to go to Vegas too many times to watch boxing.

    Last year I restricted myself to 2 Hatton fights. My brother and I thought we were doing well, we got to June and nothing, we then talked ourselves (15 minutes phone conversation) into goto to Cotto/Margarito.

    Damn, I was doing good at cutting but, then I folded. Now I want to fold again.

    We do not fancy Hatton vs Malignaggi as Vegas full of Brits is not something I ever want to do again. I don't fancy seeing Calzaghe as I got pissed off a long time ago going to a **** night in Wales in which he pulled out.

    Now what do I do???

    I am actually thinking about going to see Pacman vs de la Hoya. Never seen either fight and would obviously like to see both (preferrably in a competitive battle). The cost of flights is quite cheap (£450 with Virgin when I cash in some air miles), I would slum it this time in Excalibur (3 night break) which cost £80/pppn.

    In summary, I get to see 2 fighters I want to see, the atmosphere will be great, the holiday will be cheap. The flip side: it may not be competitive and fight tickets will be expensive.

    Ok, one season for your comments :bbb

    If you can afford it then go. You're only on this Earth once.

    Yes, but you are not alone

    I could well imagine you, trotter and Flint_Island sitting around a table at ******s anonymous class

    You would all be playing a game of snap, except every card would have a picture of either Colin Jones or Enzo maccarinelli

    You may well be mentally ******ed for all I know, but that shouldn't stop you going to Vegas to see two great fighters.

    There's a whole lot of worse ways you can spend your money....

    I don't mind a nice game of snap now and then

    Poker is my preferred card game admittedly

    Or top trumps

    Any skills or record score could be beaten by the 'skillset' trump card...;)

    Or maybe not with Enzo.:roll:

    The chin score would be a key failing of these two as trump cards.

    Enzo 1

    Haye 2

    Ask Flint Island. He takes great interest in these specific matters.

    That wouldn't be a criteria IMO. Bit too detailed, we could have literally hundreds of scores and the cards would be A4 sized unless we created an online version. Which is an idea, because some people on here, particularly Hatton fans would likely cheat

    Skills
    Speed
    Power
    Chin
    Resume

    IMO.

    He does score highly though for "Looking at your own gloves whilst raising them for the ref"

    You also need something on the mental side, even its just called "intangibles". That something Ali had that Tyson didn't etc.
