For the purposes of this question, we put Osama and Pat in a boxing ring. The prize is world domination and the ability to control people's minds all over the world. \n\nWill they go 15 rounds? Will it be a knockout? Who's gonna walk away with the Heavyweight Religious Freak of the World title folks?

Just for the sake of discussion, considering their current age, I will say Osama can last longer and probably win by technicalities. This dude have seen hell, war and has been on the run.\n\nPat could be easily tired out, as this man have been living comfortably for years, do you think he has the stamina go into boxing match?

Yeah Deadman is going to be victorious this time. \nThe Great Khali, REST IN PEACE.

Brent, \n    I think one thing that may help would be to put a salary cap on the purses, somehow.  I don't have all of the kinks worked out, but if the fighters, were doing it for the championship, and not the money, we might see less fight "dodging" and some better matchups.  Naturally, a great fighter deserves a generous purse, though.    Also, perhaps shrinking the boxing associations from four to two, maybe a world boxing association including all countries, and a United states association.  This would really force the BORING heavyweight division to come up with a true champion, and provide less belt holders and more contenders.  Also, it would make less of a grey area as to who the true champion is.   To follow up on the undisputed champion portion of your question, it seems like when there is a champion, there is ALWAYS a dispute!  It never fails that there is an arguement to bash the legitimacy of the champ.  In my opinion, the Roy Jones Jr. of the 90's was an undisputed champ.  But there was always the question of the quality of his opponents that hung over him like a looming grey cloud.  I think I would go with Bernard Hopkins if he was able to beat Roy Jones Jr.  Actually, that would be a good matchup now!  \n   And yes, boxing today is sad.  It is about the money, why else would PPV be in existance???\n\nSmitty, thanks for the lesson in economics.  What was your answer?

It's a good question. Rocky Marciano v Klitschko, good fight. Of course size would play a part . Klitschko's height and reach would have made him difficult to hit. Marciano's style and being subspect to cuts would make the Ukranian's jab as a very good weapon. But the one thing that Rocky has far superior to him would be a heart. Rocky never knew when he was beaten and his punch to stop Ezzard Charles would have stopped everybody. 49-0 will never be beaten.

I agree I think we are going to see 2 new champions on the 18th!\n\nMatt Hughes vs GSP\nGeorges only loss was to matt all those years ago, he is the most dominate welterweight the UFC has ever seen. And most importantly he is able to change his gameplan mid-fight and adapt to come out on top. I dont understand how anyone who watched the Penn vs Hughes II fight thinks that matt will come out on top here, Penn trained for 2 weeks for that fight and man-handled the bigger stonger Redneck for 2 rounds and ONLY reason matt won that fight is because Penn broke his rib during the end of round 2 and could hardly breathe. George St. Pierre is in my opinion the best welterweight fighter in the world right now and that title belt will be around his waist November 18th!\n\nSylvia vs Monson\nI like Tim dont get me wrong but when asked what he is doing differently in his training for this fight knowing that monson is such a strong wrestler he replied, nothing this fight wont go to the ground, I will knock him out. And thats absolutely the most retarded gameplan ever. I want Tim to win this fight and gain back the respect he lost, although he has lots of reasons to be given no respect (steroids, how big of a pussy he was fighting AA after the first fight, calling out Fedor) but IMO I think Jeff Monson will take the belt away from him but it wont last long because Brandon "the truth" Vera will be wearing that belt in no time at all.\n\nI am really looking forward to this show because not only are there 2 awesome title shots lined up but some great undercard fights as well. Brandon Vera vs Frank Mir is going to be a spectacular fight! Vera will finally prove that he is ready for the belt. Also excited to see Joe Stevenson and Nick Diaz back in the ring. Honestly this is going to be the UFC's biggest show of 2006 Dont miss it!

The Russians say they killed Osama Bin Laden 15 years ago. The video they keep posting has no validity with me, since George Bush can't seem to produce Bin Laden. George Bush wont even talk about the number one terrorist to America and I think that is really strange.

I wouldn't call his performance impressive becuz mishama kept going back into the guillotine and he acted like he was retarded fighting Steveson. I would say he is next in like against Sherk. He wont beat him. Then I would say Kenny Florian or Sam Stout would fight him for the belt.

Ric ~\n        What's up my Brother? No matter what Herenton brings to this bout, it won't be enough. The very last thing to go on a fighter is his punch. He can walk on his heels, he can talk with slurred speech and he might not be able to remember what day of the week it is, but believe me he can still punch. Nobody puts Ali on his seat that can not punch yesterday or 40 years ago, whatever they can punch.\n\n       Legendary fighter, Packy McFarland was retired from boxing for over thirty years he and his wife were walking home from St Pats Church in Joliet, Illinois when they were approached by three young men demanding money, Packy went into his wallet and gave them everything he had, but that wasn't enough the young men demanded his wife's wedding ring. Packy said "Boys, you picked the wrong bull today." and cleaned the street with the three of them breaking ones jaw and knocking the other two out until the Police arrived.\n\n     Joe is looking at the bout as a exhibition of sorts and if Willie thinks he's going to rough house old Joe, then Willie is in for a rude awakening and when he wakes up, I'm sure every one will tell him "How well he tried"\n\n    Thanks for the question Ric, it's great to have you back.

The way the heavyweight division is right now, Holyfield's got a chance to become a 5 time champ if he gets a title shot. He's been counted out many times over but proved his critics wrong.I absolutely believe he will retake the crown. He's got a big heart and the most courageous fighter ever.

i think they do. i hate to think that the UFC is going or will go the "WWE" route. (Let's keep it real fellas) Anybody who watched "The Ultimate Fighter" felt the extreme animosity between these two. Shamrock is a complete fool. I never thought that Tito would end up displaying more maturity than Ken. How can he possibly think he can beat Tito? Does he even remember the last time?

People love to hang on to the past when it comes to there favourite fighters just look at all the people that were putting there money on Ken to beat Tito. Matt is a tough guy and huge at 170lbs but he can be submitted so don't rule Gracie out. The Gracie name is huge in the world of MMA and don't think for a second he wont be prepared for this 100% he wouldn't take the fight if he thinks for a second he will lose. I am not surprised you are hearing Gracie will win people are trying to see tickets to the event and get you to watch it. Personally i hope Gracie wins it will be great for the sport and it isn't a championship fight the belt isn't on the line win or lose Matt keeps the belt. \n\nRoyce was originally supposed to fight Pat Millatech i am not sure why he is fighting Matt instead Pat would have been a better match up for him.\n\nI will be there for the fight and don't think Matt will beat the shit out of him but if Royce doesn't submit him Matt will win on points.\n\nI think Gracie's guard is to good for Matt to really hurt him so i expect Big John to stand them up a few times.

Pancho - I gotta think about that one. I will add more details later. A damn good question........ I'm leaving the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight off the list, got enough buzz going already. My card consists of one fight that may be already made. Here they are:\n1) Mosley/MayweatherJr.\n2) Castillo/ Hatton (I believe this is scheduled for spring '07)\n3) Calzaghe/Taylor\n4) Wright/Abraham\n5) Pacquiao/Marquez II\nMaybe not the ultimate fight card but matches I'd like to see. I want to see some of those Euros fight here against top rank competition.

I agree. I think Shogun is the better of the two, and he is ranked higher than Weinderlai on MMA Weekly. Rua won last year's Grand Prix, and Silva lost in the second round. Hopefully they will square off, despite both coming out of Chute Box. Shogun will win because he has cleaner standup, whereas Weinderlai constantly flurries. Shogun also has won several fights by submission, whereas the champ only has one submission victory (rear naked choke). Hopefully they will run into eachother in one of the open weight tournaments and we can get a non-hypothetical answer to this question.

John Ruiz is one of my favorite boxers but he really has been in a crisis lately and I think that he is going to have his work cut out for him in this match against Ibragimov. But to be honest i believe that whoever wins this fight will stand very little chance of wining against Wladimir. He is in my opinion the best heavyweight in the world at the moment. The way he handled Chris Byrd in his last fight was just awesome and it's really hard for me to see anything else except the winner of this elimination bout ending up in similar fashion.

This would be a great fight if it ever happens but i think if it does it will be a couple of years down the line, I presume this would also mean Taylor vacating his Middleweight belts to step up because there is no way Joe would get his weight down to fight at middleweight so i think there is more prospect of this fight taking place after Joe has unified the titles at Super-Middle so there is more to fight for when it actually takes place.\nAs for who actually wins i think it would be a really close fight, i think it would definitely go to a decision as they both look to have good chins, i think Calzaghe would be the busier in the fight so that might give him the edge but then again if its on HBO which i presume it would be as Joes just signed for them as well i could see Taylor getting the decision as we have all seen some dubious decisions in his last 3 fights (only joking i probably agreed with the last 2)

Oh yeah. Head gear. Three 1 minute rounds. 16 oz. gloves. Winner gets the money. Everyone else gets nothing, not even a free t-shirt. They are usually a 2 night event with the prelims on Friday and finals on Saturday. Usually a friggin money machine for the promoters because all they have to do is pay $1000 or so to the winner of each weight class. Used to be very popular in my area, but were banned after a few people got seriously hurt. One was killed even in the state. They did an investigation and found out that the ring doctor was a friggin chiropractor. Entered once, won Friday, lost Saturday. Just kind of a personal challenge. Is the promoter named Art Dorr by any chance? Anyways, very little skill involved in most of these. Hardly ever see a jab. Mostly just wild haymakers that ocassionaly land and someone gets ko'd. All the drunks roar with bloodlust and about a dozen fights break out in the stands. Good times!
