Bruno was terrible, got loads of title shots because it was easy money for the champ. He beat a total bum and lost it straight away.

Naseem was actually very good, he could have been a great but neglected the finer parts (like jabbing!!!), reminded me of a smaller version of Roy Jones. Probably Britains best boxer in a long time (except Lennox Lewis who is a bit Canadian)

I think the HAYE fight is on Setanta (well the build up has been anyway). I'll watch it. Don't care who wins but would like a good fight.

Also hope Calzaghe beats the "black boy" Bernard Hopkins (if the "black boy" tag offends you, I'm only using it because he referred to Calzaghe as "white boy" racist f*ck. :angry: )

I'm really looking forward to the fight now. I can't see it lasting long and it could go either way. It should be a good un though.

im gutted that enzo lost, he should have stayed on his knee and took a lil breather instead of getting back up, although liek the punters said, two very hard hitters one had to be hurt, unfortunately it was enzo,

I saw them on youtube, I thnk Haye was probably a lot heavier at fight time.

I don't know about Heavyweight though, although they are rubbish they weigh about 18 st these days. I know Holyfield made the step up but how would Haye do against somebody like Lennox Lewis,Riddick Bowe, Golota etc when they fought.

I'd love a 16st division for big guys that can move a bit. Unfortunately little money in cruiser. Haye will have to fight some fat blokes now.

It's irellevant how Haye would do against Lewis, Bowe and Golota. What's rellevant is how he'd do against Klitchko and the rest of the Soviet giants.

ONe of the Russian champs (or ex champ not sure) is 7 ft tall. I just think they are too big.

I like Haye's boxing style though.Like Herbie Hide, he is just the "wrong size"

I watched the fight last night between Casamayor and the Aussie lad Michael Catsides . It was live last week an i missed it but caught it last night on sky.
What a fight best fight ive seen in ages and ill include the Hatton fight in that. I know Catsides got beat but ill tell you this lads got some heart he kept coming at Casamayor even had him down in the 6th and was out boxing him for long periods of time. Your gonna hear more of this Australian kid in the future

I'm a big boxing fan and I think it's an absolute gem of a time right now for British boxing.

Hatton may have lost to Mayweather but that certainly has not affected his popularity, and as a matter of fact as someone who has got relatives living in the US I can insist that Hatton's stock has gone up in anything and he has a massive fan base there now.

David Haye is ready to take over the world. I'm a huge fan of this guy, people may dislike him and deem him arrogant but he just has full confidence in his own abilty and in any sport, the true champions always have that self belief that sets them apart from the rest.

Really can't wait for the Hopkins - Calzaghe fight next month.  If Joe wins that then I really think he can start to be talked about as one of the all time greats in the sport if he's not already.
