Niki Vally is not "garbage." He should be considered undefeated.

Calling a world champion "garbage" is not what is required.

Its nothing like it at all. Klitschko has been out through injury and
has not been worn out and battered around since. In fact his last 3
fights were early knockouts.

So you're saying the last strong memory people have of him is the
Lewis fight, and they're expecting that guy to show up??
Well sure, if *that* guy shows up he'll probably win.
That's like saying vintage Jones Jr. is a favorite against Calzaghe...

He's the favourite because he's a massive HW with a great record who
came within a gnats knacker of dethrowning Lewis.

UD for Peter in Germany? Have you seen the kind of home-cooking they

Didn't Lamon Brewster have to KO some guy twice in the same fight to
win? Ruiz got robbed in the first Valuev fight and semi-robbed in the
2nd.
I think if its even a little bit close they give it to Vitaly, Peter

Steve, Sanity pointed out my poor wording to describe the first
meeting between Margarito and Williams. Williams present quite a
problem for Margarito to figure out. If and when they meet again, I'll
agree with your and Sanity's thought. There will be a totally

Sanity, My poor choice of words. By dominated, I meant Williams was so
awkward as to give Margarito too many problems to handle let alone
mount a obvious winning attack. Note my last line of my comment.
Thak you very much for bringing it up in order that I could clarify.

I'd have to agree with TSC on this one. I think Margarito took time
figuring out how best to get to Paul Williams and his long, gangly
arms. Also, I don't think Margarito was at his best that night
either. If Antonio gets a rematch against Williams, I think you'll

Hi!
Unfortunately I cannot access american TV to watch the fight
Pavlik vs. Hopkins, so I am looking for an online recorder

I don't think that's accurate. Williams dominated the early part of the
bout, as Margarito started slowly. Margarito came on during the later
rounds. The decision was very close and I will pick AM in the rematch,
should it take place.
The scores, in Williams' favor were: 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112 (7-5, 7-5
