blue collar

Well you know they have to make a move to somehow save face over the Lee Embarrassment.

Chuck Liddell's chin is made of glass. That punch that knocked him out cold was not all that.

Or Bret Hart. But he's right, it does help to have good mic skills.

He'll get beat by Williams, Berto or Mayweather Jr. He could have very well lost to the light punching Chop Chop. Again, I think he's good, but not great.

Cotto is what he is. A good fighter, but not a great fighter. He'll beat guys like Forman who can't punch, but he'll get beat if he moves up in competition.

They just said Jim Joyce is from Ohio. Hmmm.

That was not close to being a tie. All we know is that he was OUT.

I'm not gonna let Joyce off the hook that easy. Sure, he owned up to it, but he blew the call bigtime. In that circumstance, don't you give the pitcher the benefit of the doubt? I mean, a perfect game was on the line. And this is why I'm having trouble letting Joyce off the hook. It wasn't even really that close of a play. He was out by almost a half step.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Josh Beckett has lost it. On ESPN First Take they were commenting on his over 7 ERA. Seriously, when was the last time he's been a consistantly good pitcher?

I said that the first time I saw it and now after seeing the replays I'm totally convinced he launched himself out of the ring. The people who paid to see this should get a refund.

Did Cintron really have to dive out of the ring and was he THAT hurt?

I thought it would have done better. 1.2 million is still good though.

Well, if Pac beats Floyd, it wouldn't be nearly the upset of Douglas over Tyson and Ali was way past his prime when Holmes beat him. But I hear you on the casual fans talking boxing as if they know what they're talking about. Just this past weekend, you should have seen all of the people that came out of the woodworks to see Mosley/Mayweather at my house. Normally it's just the 3 of us, this weekend it was 8. And of course, the other 5 were Mayweather fans who I believe have NEVER seen Pacquiao box.

I still want to hear it from Manny. ESPN quoted Manny as saying he'd agree to 14 days before the fight. I swear, if Arum stands in the way of this fight, he'll go down as being more of a cancer to the sport as King was.

We'll have to agree to disagree because I see that being a one sided fight. If he couldn't handle the speed of Pac, what makes you think he'll handle the speed of Floyd?

Pacquiao softens stance on drug testing. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/36927106/ns/sports-other_sports/

A lot of people pretty much said the exact same thing about Mosley. Yeah, he was the bigger, stronger, harder puncher, gonna apply all this pressure. Yeah, I drunk the kool-aid too. We see what happened. And I do believe Floyd can knock him out. If not, he'll stop him in the middle/late rounds.

You're talking about the same Cotto who got destroyed by Manny? And again, you're underestimating Manny.

He'd kill Cotto. Cotto's not nearly fast enough to avoid Floyd's punches.

Yes. He'd fight the safest possible fight, like Jones Jr did when he went up to heavyweight. With that being said, he'd beat Pavlic easily.

Why not go after Berto?

All yall excited about Floyd's domination of Mosley. My man Pac would have STOPPED him. As for this blood test, they'll have to come to a compromise. If I were Pac, I wouldn't give him everything he want.

So he gets to choose the rules and gets the lions share? Whatever. If he would have fought a lesser opponant, would it have done these numbers? No. Pac promoted his fight with Clotty all by himself considering Clotty wasn't a draw.

Floyd has pulled this BS and it has worked. Did he ask for an Olympic style drug test against Marquez, Hatton or De La Hoya? But the one guy, who many consider on his level, he asked for a drug test? People, you have to be smarter than this. The easiest way to get out of something like this is to come with some BS stipulation that you know the other guy will not agree too. Floyd is just trying to get into Pac's head. If Pac does agree to this drug test, I will gaurantee you that Floyd will want 60/40. And I'm sure some of you Floyd lovers will claim that that's fair and Pac should take it.

Well if Floyd's so good, then why don't he drop his steroid crusade against Pac? I've seen it before, Floyd is gonna play these head games until he sees Pac get beat or/and loses a step and then he'll fight him. Kind of like what Leonard did with Hagler.
