    i think moreso how barrett actually had the balls to stand in the pocket and "fight" valuev, rather than run around for 12 rounds, throwing 15 punches per, like haye. . .

    there were some nice, although crude, exchanges. . .

    chagaev fought him like a man, and schooled him.

    eh, semantics. . . one man's trah is another man's treasure. . .


    i wouldn't label it a classic on par with the handful of true "classics", though.

    Good scrap it was, major props to Barrett for trying his best & for respecting Breast Cancer Awareness month. Save the Ta-tas!!!! My Mom died from Breast Cancer and my son's Football team all wear the pink ribbon sticker on their helmets for the same reason Barrett wore pink gloves.

    It was a classic.
     
  10. I find it ironic

    Vladimir23 didn't give Barret Props for wearing da gloves in support of breast cancer

    since she is a girl.

    tsk tsk tsk

    Better than Bowe/Holyfield. Now this is WAR!

    Epic display of skillz and ballz, they don't make them like this anymore. This an't a cuple of ***s blowing each other and dancing around the ring, this is real men, 2 future Hall of Famers slugging it out for the ultimate prize.
