    It gives some old farts a little hope I guess. I find it pathetic. Even Big George's win over Moore was a little suspect.

    Actually you can always peek at people on the ignore list. There is an option for it.

    moore? do you mean moorer?

    if you watch the fight on youtube you'll see from the overhead replay the impact to MOORERS head.

    big guys can pack heavy punches. each of foremans arms were like having 6 medicine balls strapped together so even a tap will do some damage. what would you prefer to be hit by, a speeding smart car at 30mph or a 15 ton lorry at 5mph?

    Hmmm....good point. I hadn't considered that. Do the tv execs really think boxing fans want to see the awful spectacle that was Hopkins v Wright?

    I'll give ya that one for sure. Don't know who or what was the thinking behind that one. It's one of the only 2007 PPV's I never even considered buying. Hopkins/Wright was god awful.
