To quote Lewis Hamilton when asked why he felt the race was still on, Hamilton replied: "Cash is king."What is with the recent wave of celebrity boxing? I didn’t even know this one was happening…

With respect to your friend, I hope that’s someone else’s list, because fights like Tyson-Holyfield and Lewis-Schmeling don’t belong anywhere near Pacquiao-Morales or Vazquez-Marquez.A friend of mine who is a boxing and baseball historian decided to do a Joe Posnanski-esque set of writeups on the 50 greatest fights of all time (I think he is using someone else's list). He is doing it on his personal Facebook account but it may morph into a book at some point and I got him to put them on a blog as he goes, if anyone here is interested.

Yeah, he says in the first writeup:With respect to your friend, I hope that’s someone else’s list, because fights like Tyson-Holyfield and Lewis-Schmeling don’t belong anywhere near Pacquiao-Morales or Vazquez-Marquez.
Thanks for the perspective. I caught a round and a half or so. Chavez obviously showed up out of shape, but Silva clearly belonged and used both his length and head movement very well.Seems like a great accomplishment for Silva. I'm not really sure what to think of Chavez Jr. It seems like he has (had) real talent, but not a lot of sustained effort or professionalism over the course of his career.
The age showed. Manny could take away the looping shot but couldn't really counter it all night. Probably cost him the fightUgas is just so much bigger and Manny is letting him wind up.
Yeah it worked out for Pac too. Spence would've wrecked this flat footed version of himSpence will kill this guy though.
Costa is prettier, imo but I think he might age poorly. This Fury has some nice eyes though@luckiestman - Tommy Fury or Palio Costa?
What if we’re just comparing tans?Costa is prettier, imo but I think he might age poorly. This Fury has some nice eyes though
He might think he can’t sell a rematchThis can’t be real. Woodley had him, but like always wouldn’t let his hands go. Oh well. Fury would murk him and he looked like shit today. Wonder how much Jake will want to keep fighting now that he got hit in the mouth. He didn’t seem too enthused to get back in there.
That’s always been mine, and others, biggest gripe with both boxing and MMA scoring. Judges just refuse to give a 10-8 unless the guy nearly dies.Nobody had a 10-8 round when Woodley should’ve had a knock down but dominated the round anyways?
Pac Marq 4 recently. Two old foes who showed up to end it in death. Everything about the preparation and the fight was done with the intent for finality and it's what we got. They could have boxed another 12 round decision but both decided to try and end the other. I fucking love that fight.So.my wife is out of town, I can watch whatever I want without anyone looking...so of course I dial up...
Old Marvelous Marvin Hagler fights (what, you were expecting something else?)
In this case, maybe my favorite (except for Hearns, I suppose), the Tony Sibson fight.
God, he was good! Twice in the first two rounds, he threw right hand uppercuts as a lead from a southpaw stance. Who does that? Then he started slipping back and forth between orthodox and southpaw; then when Sibson got desperate, he stepped in, tagged him and finished the fight.
What do you watch, when nobody's around to steer your choices? (boxing only, natch...)
