    No idea where this is coming from. I didn't say I agreed with Manny - I just said some replies in this thread seem to mirror his comments. Look at my earlier response when I said - "thanks for the ideas, I'll start watching these fights."

    Didn't know you were on your period this week. Take a Midol, then go f**k yourself.

    Too many to mention.

    Sergei Liakhovich vs. Lamon Brewster was a classic. As was Lamon Brewster vs. Luan Krasniqi (on Max Schmeling's birthday) and Lamon Brewster vs. Wlad Klitschko I.

    Corrie Sanders vs. Hasim Rahman, Wlad Klitschko and Vitali Klitschko were all exciting.

    Alexander Povetkin vs. Marco Huck was very exciting. Mike Perez vs. Magomed Abdusalamov was really good (with a tragic outcome).

    Danny Williams vs. Mark Potter and Danny Williams vs. Mike Tyson were both unforgettable.

    Lennox Lewis vs. Hasim Rahman I & II, Lewis vs. Michael Grant, Lewis vs. Vitali Klitschko were epic in their own ways.

    Andrew Golota vs. Chris Byrd. Andrew Golota vs. John Ruiz. Evander Holyfield vs. John Ruiz I & II were all exciting. (Skip the third Holyfield-Ruiz fight)

    David Tua vs Michael Moorer was short and brutal. Nicolay Valuev vs. Monte Barrett was wild and sloppy.

    Steve Cunningham vs. Tyson Fury and Amir Mansour.

    Oleg Maskaev vs. Hasim Rahman II was a classic finish. Sam Peter vs. Jameel McCline was very good, as was Jameel McCline vs. Chris Byrd.

    Cliff Etienne vs. Lamon Brewster, Lawrence Clay-Bey and Fres Oquendo ... were all good (the rise and shocking fall of a contender).

    Derrick Jefferson vs. Maurice Harris and David Izon.

    Dereck Chisora vs. David Haye and Robert Helenius were both exciting.

    There are more than 30 to get you started. Can't go wrong with any of them.

    True and he also said Wlads opponents bring nothing to the table.

    No burning desire to win as he put it.

    Joshua's blowout of Kingpin last night exposed the weak era and also Vitali's talents and he is the better brother.

    Its only going to happen more as the years roll on.

    Dino, I also heard Manny voice frustration with Wlad's tentative/safe fighting style, saying "Wlad's needs to do the things I tell him. Lennox did those things" - something like that.
