    I can send it to you if you like, or by backlog did you mean you already have it just haven`t gotten around to watching it yet? If that is the case, then you and I are in the same boat, as I`ve got about 50 dvds that I have yet to watch myself as it stands.

    Yeah same here.

    I'm pretty sure i got it about a year ago.i badly need to organise things and seperate the modern stuff i still have to watch, from the classic fights.

    Mijares is vastly superior.

    Ooooo, that's an interesting one. I'd be picking Watanabe, but it would be great fun to see.

    He takes Galaxy for sure(as do a few others IMO), outboxes him.

    He takes Moon, would outbox him I believe.

    I think a fight between himself and Konadu would be a very good boxing match, but that he'd find a place for that straight left and take him out probably mid-rounds with it.

    Roman was a very skilled boxer as well, probably a bit more fluid with his combos, but Watanabe picked his spots very well, would be a tough one to call. I might actually pick Roman.

    I think Tapia would beat him, Tapia would've been hell for the majority of them, though his accurate shots would give Tapia a tough time. Tapia would get caught often and maybe dropped, but his overall tenacity and workrate I think would help him overcome it. I think a guy like Konadu, with his movement and active jab, would be more difficult for Tapia.
