    I don't get why some of these fighters aren't settling the score ... now I remember watching the first two Tarver/Johnson fights and they were actioned packed ... so was the first Winky v Jermain fight ... these are the fights that the fans would like to see, but for some reason the fighters aren't willing to give them to us.

    Tarver went on to fight Jones instead. And Winky wanted more money to fight Taylor. For a know-it-all, you sure don't know much. :lol:

    :good But to a point Wink was right, I think that they wanted to do a 55-45 split and after a draw I think it should have been a 50-50 fight.

    Yeah, probably. But for Winky to demand parity considering his past history, putting his foot down like that was a mistake. But I do commend him for standing up for himself like that.

    Not every close fight needs a rematch. Honestly, people need to move forward with their careers, not sideways. I thought that Tarver beat Johnson both times anyways. As far as Winky vs Taylor... I am really not interested in that.

    Not being entertaining dont mean that there shouldnt be a rematch. Taylor vs Winky should have had a rematch, just as Winky vs Hopkins should have, and Calzaghe vs hopkins. None of those fights were barn burners but rematches were in order.

    Calzaghe vs Hopkins didn't need a rematch. Only people who really dislike Calzaghe, or really like Hopkins couldn't see that Calzaghe had him outclassed.

    Winky didn't want a rematch with a Taylor, and he proved it... no need for Taylor to go back to Winky now.

    As I said with Tarver and Glen Johnson... Tarver beat him both times already, in my eyes. I don't see a point in a third fight with them either.

    As mentioned above, Tarver went on to fight RJ.

    And i think JT was willing to do the immediate rematch as he ducks no man but Winky didn't want it. I think partly because he truly felt he won the fight and also because he felt JT's power and didn't want to get into another war.

    pavlik vs. hopkins i know it was a schooling hopkins dominated pavlik no doubt about it but pavlik said he was sick got a shot of penucilian or what ever see if a healthy pav could beat hopkins. i mean pavlik knocked jermain taylor out cold and taylor wanted to beat the man that beat him i dunno what u guys think
