    I'm about to say it:

    Sorry, but I can't respect the guy, and you know why.

    That's it. I said it.

    Tito vs Winky was even sadder...I am not a big Tito fan, but if I were that one would have been harder to swallow!

    What because he beat his wife? Yes that was wrong but thas in none of my business! He was one of the most excitibg fighters I have ever seen and his fight with clottey was hard to watch and his death was a tragedy!

    The 1 and Only Felix Trinidad

    As Larry Merchant said during the Mamadou Thiam fight.

    "Watching Tito throw these kind of shots, I can see what GOD had in mind when making a fighter."

    About sums it up:yep

    Actually JUST watched Tito-Hopkins for the first time in 2 years, ONLY to watch BHOP's brilliance....That will always be a sore spot.

    just because that happened did'nt make him a bad person, he obviously had emotional problems.

    He never has or will duck Witter, he simply hates the guy and doesn't want to give him the fight because he thinks Witter is a dick and isn't worth the time and space................I agree! If Witter knew respect he'd get the fight.

    Anyway that's getting away from the thread. I'm gonna cry like a baby with a bad rash if Calzaghe doesn't get the win on Saturday. PEACE

    There have been a few fighters getting their asses kicked major that I didnt like watching.
    Kostya, Lacy, Morales, Wlad namely.

    I never watched the 3rd Morales-Pacman fight. It was PPV and I didnt bother watching it the next week because I already read what happened and dont want to watch a past it Morales getting battered around in there.

    It was very sad the next fight after Corrales died and they did the 10 bell count for him, I almost cried.

    I guess we all have our ways of seeing things. Some things are worse to some people than others. For me, what happened was unacceptable, ESPECIALLY from a boxer.

    Yes, his death was tragic, and yes, he was a top fighter, but what he did goes against boxing ethics. You never hit a woman. End of story.

    No I think it's gay when you act like their grandmother.

    I think it's even worse when you're a professional boxer and you hit a woman.

    Damn right it is. I respect the Pac Man for being a warrior. You should do the same.

    Where's Spitbucket? He had a special photo for you TamPacs.
