"Bad" Chad Dawson vs "Magic Man" Antonio Tarver

"Bad" Chad Dawson vs. "Magic Man" Antonio Tarver. It has all the makings of a Rocky movie. Wait a minute, Tarver appeared in a Rocky movie. Tarver still had some stuff left even though he is clearly past his prime. He is entertaining and still gives his fans their monies' worth. For me, the jury is still out on Dawson. I like him, he is tough and he stays in it. He did win convincingly, but he is boring to watch. He wasn't that impressive vs. Glen Johnson, but he beat him too. This weight division certainly needs some young blood, but I would like to see someone take Dawson on who is younger and hungrier.

Where In The World Is Floyd ?

The biggest match ever or at least since Pacquiao vs De La Hoya, Mayweather vs Hatton or De La Hoya vs Mayweather and Floyd went bowling with his daughter. It seems that he wasn't interested in Hatton, whom he has already beat and Manny who stands in his way of being the best pound for pound boxer ever. Well Floyd, it is time to dust off your ego and get old Roger back in the ring to train you for another big payday.

Say It Ain't So Ricky

I would be pretty mad if I had committed money to the pay-per-view for this one. I can understand Manny winning, but not that quick. It seems that Freddie Roach, Manny's trainer, figured out the weak spot of Ricky. I guess that's what happens when you get to old to change your style and the opposition times your punches. I hope Ricky can come back from this one, although I don't know what's left for him to do.
This of course leads us to Manny, "the best pound for pound boxer" taking on Floyd "use to be the pound for pound boxer". I suspect that any day now we will hear from Floyd during his "coming out of retirement " speech to take on Manny.
Now, that might be the time to spend on pay-per-view ?

We Are Family

Yes, Manny and Rickey are one big happy family. I am going to try and keep this scorecard straight in my head. Freddie Roach is Manny's trainer. Freddie was in Oscar De La Hoya's corner when he boxed against Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. Oscar is promoting the fight for Hatton's side and Oscar fought and lost to Manny 4 months ago. Rickey's trainer is Floyd's dad who was Oscar's trainer for awhile prior to Oscar taking on Floyd, Jr.. I am totally confused and disoriented. I hope I figure it out soon or at least understand the conclusion tonight since everyone involved has fought, trained or promoted against each other.

Pacquiao vs Hatton

The Manny vs. Ricky show. This is the most exciting match up since Oscar vs. Floyd. Manny is riding a hot streak with no end in sight. He can't seem to lose. He has the Midas touch. Ricky has struggled on and off the last few years, but he isn't done yet. I like them both, but I think Ricky will have a similar problem to when he went up against Floyd Mayweather and that is can he stop Manny's hand speed? Ricky has some decent hand speed himself, but Manny will have the upper hand. If it comes to speed than Manny has the win. If Ricky can connect, then I think power is on his side. Right now, if Manny show up, he wins. If the Ricky that showed up against Kostya Tszyu shows up against Manny, than Ricky wins.
