    the countdown is on to this battle. Yea, to all the haters, Guzman made weight easily. Looks great and ready for combat.

    It's not every week that a Hall of Fame induction is basically on the line. I mean voting will still have to take place after Joan retires, and there will always be people with grudges, however, when Joan wins tomorrow night, justice can only be served with an induction into the IBHOF.

    When he wins tomorrow, i will stand up, applaud, and be overjoyed.

    Funeka is in good shape and he's obviously tall. That's no reason to be nervous, however. Funeka is a quality opponent. This is a solid matchup for a vacant belt. Funeka does a lot of things well, has a good lead jab, he's aggressive and his akwardness is not easy to deal with. But he has weak defense, is susceptible to counters, and will probably fade as the bout goes on. I'm hoping Joan brings the style of fight that he brought to Barrios because if that's the case then this is going to be a blowout.

    Guzman is 33 years old. He won't be able to accomplish enough to be a hall of famer.

    You should still be proud.....but you can be proud while sitting. Ali is just a better fighter and a better technical boxer.......less talent than Joan, but more natrual attributes taht work towards his advantage.

    You didn't know Ali well enough.....his stamina is up there with Paul and PAC. Just a machine when it comes to offense...but yes...very susceptiable to counters due to his high work rate and constant Jab.....a left or right hook counter could have done some damage if Joan had power.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    Guzman looked like Cotto, all bloodied getting hit with heavier shots than ever before, and taking it...it was all caused by a headbutt, Alis huge head. Imange how big he is, how hard his head must be. Toke Guzman out his game, and he lost his compusper
