    so a "wing it" "go for it" style is better than controlled intellegent boxing... I dont agree.
    They are both exciting, but to say only the "open up style" is good is wrong IMO. Sometimes the chess match in the ring is just as fun to watch.... maybe ultimate is more your speed :yep

    I think it was just loose talk to the effect that Sultan was quitting. Sultan himself didn't make any formal announcement about retirement. If I'm not mistaken, Sultan's most recent remarks concerned his squabble with his manager, Boris Grinsberg, and how that conflict was keeping him out of the ring.

    I agree with parts... proven CW.. not doubt about it... but if you say he is not proven at HW.... how could he be possibly the best... because he can move up..:huh
    I think WINS at HW are far more important :good

    so pac man moves to HW... he is probably the best HW because he can move up:huh
    j/k Just ****ing with you :hey:good

    Haye.

    The only ones who'd possibly give him a decent test would be Chagaev, and Povetkin. But I see Haye beating both of them.

    Another thing is that Sultan finished the fight on his feet, which not many guys are able to do against Klitschko. I thought Sultan put on a pretty respectable defensive display that night, moving well and boxing intelligently.

    I'm disappointed that Sultan fired his trainer Mayweather. I thought Mayweather brought out some good moves in Sultan.

    :lol: Since I'm being honest, I bet not even 1 of the 10 would know who David Haye is. I think most guys my age are into the UFC mostly and only rarely watch boxing, maybe the occasional Mayweather, DLH, RJJ fight, thats about it. I think boxing needs more personality, a Tyson like figure would do wonders for boxing right now. I would have to say CHEF, only 3 times did I see a bar packed to full capacity for a fight. DLH/Mayweather, Tyson/McBride, Tyson/Williams ( at Hooters). Guys like Mayweather, DLH, and Tyson are all gone, other than a washed up RJJ and Pac, who does boxing really have to keep the average fan interested?

    Very true.


    And as much as he is under rated, Haye is even more OVER rated.
