    Valero would have been the next p4p #1 after Mayweather and Pac retire.

    Barrera has a lot to thank Jones for you know, if not for Jones, Marco would never have become the great, great all-rounded he ended up being.

    And it was clearly a stoppage, as Marco's cornerman waved his hands in the 'it's over' motion. And this is coming from a die-hard Barrera fan.

    Degale will achieve more than Groves and Froch.
    Khan will go down as Britains greatest ever.
    Cleverly will beat Froch when/if they meet at light heavy.
    Pacquiao could win world titles upto cruiserweight if he wanted to.
    Alvarez will become one of the p4p best soon.

    I see. For some reason I thought the majority didn't think Barrera was out of it :huh

    That's true.

    Major difference between the man from the Jones fight and the one here, completely different animal, against an arguably better fighter.

    gatti-ward I wasn't all that exciting, gatti was dominating ward and somewhere late in the fight ward bounced back, it was not the rockem sockem fight ppl claim it to be.
    if berrara was not effected by the headbutt he would have beaten khan

    Holyfield beat Lewis twice and did not get the decision either time.

    I'd rather watch an American fight card than a British one

    This. ESPN FNF is always better than SkySports SFN.

    James Toney could / should have been one of the greatest fighters of all time.

    I pretty much disagree with everything you've said there.
    A lot of great British boxers with struggle to emulate what Froch has done/will do.
    Won't happen, Khan's still en-route to another vicious KO (although he has been impressing me as of late, albeit against limited opponents)
    Cleverly's defence is woeful. As technically limited as Froch is he would seriously ruin Cleverly
    Cruiserweight? That's just ridiculous
    IMO Alvarez is seriously overrated. He's a good fighter no doubt but merely a Golden Boy puppet/media creation.
