sad... two of me favorite boxer just lost.. aj bazooka banal and puertirican miguel cotto now philippines hope for the next manny pacquiao is on bernabe concepcion ..

bro bhebhiej.. do you think kelly pavlik and margarito is a good match up? the will fight in ligh middleweight ..? antonio margito is a beast man.. and i think the only boxer now who can match him is kelly pavlik .. if they fight at light middleweight class or if margarito can fight at middleweight.. ?

[b]@niknok[/b] Ohhhhh, I'd love to see Margarito and Pavlik fight at light middleweight. I like Margarito and I think he's good, but I'm a big fan of Kelly Pavlik and I'd love to see Pavlik win that match-up. [b]@Guile[/b] The last I had heard about Manny was already set to fight against Edwin Valero on November 8 so I don't think he'd be fighting Oscar in December. I'm really hoping it's just a rumor because I seriously don't think Manny can beat Oscar. That would be a good fight for Oscar, though. I think he'd win easily. (p.s. I don't like Oscar De La Hoya) Anyway, I'll check the boxing wires again and see what I can find, if anything has been updated.

[url=http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content3117.html]FightHype.com[/url] [b]@Guile[/b] Holy sh*t ....you're right. I have to disagree that it will be fun to watch, though. It's not gonna be fun for me to see my favorite boxer (Pacquiao) get beat into a bloody pulp. Man, I just don't think Manny can win. From what I've read, they're think about meeting at 147 pounds. I think the only shot Manny has would be if Oscar gets dehydrated and has trouble coming down to that weight again. At the same time, however....I must admit that Manny and trainer Freddie Roach proved me wrong in the fight against Diaz. I [b]really[/b] thought it was gonna be tough for Manny stepping up to that weight division but he looked like he was 21 years old again, the fastest and strongest and most technical bout that I've ever seen Manny put on. Maybe Pacman and Roach can prove me wrong again. I hope so. [b]**Sidenote** [/b]My hope is that if the fight does happen that it will [b]not[/b] take place in Las Vegas, NV. That's Oscar's town, and it's no secret that there have been "accusations" and "dirty judges" when Oscar fights in Las Vegas. And this is his final fight, too? Nobody there is gonna want to see the Golden Boy lose in his final fight in [b]his[/b] town. I hope they work a deal that allows them to face off somewhere else....like....Manila. [align=center][b]CANOY RETAINS WBO ORIENTAL CROWN[/b][/align] [b]ZAMBOANGA CITY[/b]--WBO Oriental featherweight champion Eric Canoy retained his title here yesterday with a fourth-round technical draw with three-time world title challenger Terdsak Jandaeng of Thailand at the 8,000-capacity Zamboanga City Coliseum here. Canoy outboxed Jandaeng in the first two rounds before the Thai took the third using a big left and pressuring the local fighter for a fight. In the fourth, a clash of heads cut Canoy on his right eye, prompting the ringside physician to suggest to referee Bruce McTavish to halt the fight. "I'm happy to retain my title. I knew Terdsak was very strong, but I was ready to fight the whole 12 rounds after two months of training at the ALA Gym," said Canoy in an interview. The event was put up by Blue Stallion Promotions of Congressman Erbie Fabian and SGG Promotions of Sammy Gello-ani. Fabian, in an interview, revealed that Canoy should now be ripe for a fight in the United States under one of Golden Boy Promotions' events. In the chief support, former RP flyweight champ Federico Catubay proved to be the fighter of the day after outpunching Thailand's Narindeth Kokietgym over eight explosive rounds. Another Thai fighter, Samransak Singmanassak, decisioned Felix Tanamor over six rounds. The fights, a co-presentation with the Kokiet Group, was beamed 'live' throughout Thailand yesterday, and will be aired in the Philippines in the coming weeks. [align=center][b]ABE BREAKS OUT AND IMPRESSES VEGAS OBSERVERS[/b][/align] [b]Las Vegas, NV[/b]�Welcome to world stage Bernabe Concepcion! That was the sentiments from press row as boxing�s elite in the media world took notice to a new rising prospect in Concepcion. With the fall of A.J. Banal earlier that day in the Philippines, Concepcion took away a little of the nasty taste still being felt by fans who watched Banal�s heartbreaking defeat. Concepcion performed a true boxing professional as he stopped the over matched Adam Carrera in just three rounds. Abe sized up his opponent in the first round. �I was timing his punches because he�s tall and I didn�t know his style yet�, Concepcion, 26-1-1 (15 KOs), explained after his fight. And Carrera was trying to use his height and reach to kept the strong fighter at a distance. �But when I knew I can take his punches, I knew I can break him down�, said Concepcion, who followed through on his game plan. Concepcion�s supreme strength and power became too much for Carrera. A hard body initially dropped Carrera and one more knockdown finished off the journeyman Carrera, 19-4 (8 KOs). �Experience� was Concepcion�s assistant trainer, Aljoe Jaro, reaction to Abe�s knockout performance. Concepcion now knows what it feels like to succeed on an undercard of a huge boxing event. At 20 years old, Concepcion is only getting better and if he can maintain his discipline a world title will be in his future.

[b]@niknok[/b] Thanks for the encouragement but I'm still worried about Pacquiao-De La Hoya. Wow. Manny's taking a [b]BIG[/b] step up to fight Oscar. I'm not saying that they're not in the same "league" but....wow. I guess we'll see in December. If Manny beats De La Hoya and Hatton, and then goes on to defeat all the others you mentioned....I think Manny could very possibly be considered the greatest of all time. There's a lot of Ali and Leonard fans, though, that would argue that statement, though. Thanks for staying active in my thread, bro. Appreciate it.

[b]@Guile[/b] Exactly....'cause I know Manny can be the a** kicker in a fight against Hatton as opposed to Manny being the guy getting his a** kicked against Oscar

Yeah, Manny will definitely be the underdog. I'm still really unsure about this matchup...If they meet at Welterweight, that's a 2 weight-class jump for Manny, from 135 lbs to 147 lbs. I really think he should just go 1 weight class at a time, take on Hatton at Jr. Welterweight, then jump to Welterweight to take on Oscar. But Oscar probably doesn't want to wait until next Spring to retire. Haaayyyyzzz. Here's the rankings for the period ending July 20, 2008 (I'm a little late putting them up), by The Ring Magazine.
