It was Wladimir Klitschko. He fought Chris Byrd, who was the IBF heavyweight champion. Byrd's a skilled fighter who has been in The Ring magazine's top ten for about five years now. He had only two previous losses which, one of which was also against Wladimir Klitschko in 2000, though that time by decision.\n\nWladimir does have power, but his chin has been questioned. In his previous fight, he fought and beat Samuel Peter - a strong heavyweight without much skill. This time he fought Chris Byrd - a very skilled fighter without much power. He definitely has to find a guy next time who has both skill and power and dominate him also in order to really regain the fans' confidence.

My Dad is Kenny Weldon, Sergei's trainer.  Let's say this, it won't be Brewster.  He has a detached retina from the fight.  From what I understand, a defeated champ is allowed a rematch.  That won't happen here anytime soon, if ever.  I am hoping for him to fight Klitscho (the one that's not retired, I think its Wladimir), but I don't know.  We'll have to see.  He could beat Byrd or Klitscho.  I think that he can beat the rest of the champs and be the 1 and only Champion of the World!

EUGENE HAIRSTON\nBoxer\nEugene Hairston was born on July 23, 1930 in Harlem. He became deaf at the age of 1 after a fight with spinal meningitis. He showed talent in art, much to his father’s delight—he wanted his son to become an artist. Art was not what Hairston wanted however, he wanted to fight. He aspired to become a great boxer like Joe Louis, whom he admired. At 15, Hairston quit school to help support his family and went through a series of dead-end jobs before deciding he wanted to start boxing for a living. The Miele brothers, owners of a Bronx gym, met Hairston in 1945 and were dubious of the boy’s handwritten request—he wanted to fight. After six months the Miele brothers finally relented and let him parry punches with some members at the gym. The brothers watched Hairston go against four opponents and were convinced of his potential. They went to work with him as manager and trainer. In 1947, Hairston fought his way through the amateur boxing ranks, winning two distinguished boxing titles. After 61 bouts, Hairston won all but one and made a name for himself: Silent Hairston. From 1947 to 1953, Hairston appeared on television a total of 13 times and fought against the leading middleweight contenders of his time: Kid Gavilan, Johnny Bratton, Paul Pender and Paddy Young. He appeared in Ebony, billed as the only fighter who could beat Sugar Ray Robinson and The Ring, where he was credited as the second-leading middleweight contender in the world. Flashing lights were added to the ring posts of the arenas Hairston fought in, to alert the deaf boxer the end of a round. Flashing lights are now standard equipment for many arenas, along with the bell. In 1952 he fought against La Motta, who later wrote Raging Bull and mentioned the infamous 10-round fight with Hairston. During a bout with Carl “Bobo” Olson, Hairston received a nerve-damaging hit above his right eyebrow, ending his career at age 22.  I hope this helps.

I'm afraid your knowledge of boxing is poor!! Naz was a good world champion making 17 defences of a world title> thats a big ask for any world champion!! unfortunately he underachieved considering the amount of talent he had!! Only a fool would try and compare Ricky to Naz they are like chalk and cheese. Ricky is conquering the world while naz is doing 15 months in jail for dangerous driving!! There styles are totally opposites !! if want more information on Naz ask Kevin Kelly

Great match up! Two all time greats. Arguello had that stand up style. He would get leverage by punching down at his opponents, as he was very tall for his weight class. Arguello also had heavy hands and could bang with the best of them. Duran in my opinion is one of the best ten boxers ever and an absolute animal, virtually unbeatable at lightweight. Duran would pressure Arguello as Pryor did. He would work Arguello's body, watch video of Duran while moving in he kept his upper body moving, making him hard to hit (a master at rolling with punches). As great as Arguello was I don't think he could deal with Duran's constant pressure. Duran wins by unanimous decision, due to his high work rate.

:{ } ~\n        In my opinion, none of the above would have went the distance with Harry, we're writing about these guys in their primes correct? As everyone who comes to this forum with any regularity knows that I'm very fond of the fighters of the 80's I think it was one of the richest eras in boxing as far as talent goes, but the fighters of Grebs era were truly special.\n       In the 80's fighters were staring to break into big money fights and the Champions could start to become a bit picky about who, when and where they fought, I'll site Ray Leonard ducking a young Aarron Pryor as a prime example. Unfortunately money was starting to become the only ambition most fighters needed instead of the purpose of fighting the best.\n       Depression era and shortly after-wards fighters were all together a different breed, there were no huge venues and there were no multimillion dollar paydays. A lot of times if they didn't fight their families didn't eat. There wasn't blatant ducking of an opponent the public wouldn't put up with it. The fighters that were Champions were truly the best of their weight divisions (there were fewer) There were fighters that often fought other fighters 10, 15 and 20 pounds outside of their weight class and Greb was one of them.\n     The fights: Harry would have stopped Joppy in less than 6 rounds. Greb was deffintely the stronger of the two and power would be the biggest difference in this fight, although Joppy has/had an excelent jab this would not be enough to keep a young in his prime Greb off of him.\n     Harry would have his gloves full when it came to Michael Nunn, there were no fighters in Grebs era that fought the way Mike did. Harry would eat a lot a crisp sharp accurate punches from Nunn, but since Greb was use to fighting much bigger opponents with much heavier hands than Nunn's this wouldn't be a problem for a young Greb to adjust and start to cut the ring off and impose his will. Harry would stop Nunn in round 13, too much wear and tear on Michaels body.\n    Harry's fight against Iran "The Blade" Barkley would somewhat resemble Hagler vs Hearns. This would be a complete and total war while it lasted, both of these fighters would let lose with everything they had and not hold anything back. The punches exchanged would have the people ringside watching with their mouths open. As we all know now, when Iran moved up in weight his punch didn't, Greb fought against men that were much heavier than he was and was able to hurt them and sometimes stop them, this would be the reason why Greb would stop Barkley in less than 6 rounds, there could be no other way, both fighters would be a bloddy mess and this fight, out of all the ones I wrote about would be the fight that boxing experts compared all wars to.\n     Thanks for the fantasic question.

Man, that is a tough question, as a boxer enthusiast, and amateur boxer myself I am really excited about the Chris Byrd Wladimir Klitschko fight.  \n\nNow, about your question, I do think Klitschko is going to easily defeat Chris Byrd, by even more than he did their first fight, and I believe that James Toney will then be the Ring Magazine number one fighter, however I believe everyone will then consider Wladimir Klitschko the heavyweight to beat.  Klitschko looked great in his last fight, and will defeat Chris Byrd by unanimous decision.

Last Saturday (June 10) Miguel Cotto went the distance with Paulie Malignaggi before winning a decision.\n\nAnd on another pay-per-view Bernard Hopkins outclassed Antonio Tarver to win a decision.\n\nTaylor - Wright is this weekend, but it's on HBO, not PPV.

Although toney might be the best skilled hw boxer right now, and valuev may be the most physically imposing, i have to say my current favorite is lamon brewster. He has true heavyweight power (as evidenced by his comeback stoppage of klitchko and quick knock out of golota) and he clearly has a lot of heart (fighting sergei with a detached retina from round 1 and nearly pulling out a decision). The amazing thing is is even though he is an american heavy, he really has recieved very little pub and needed to win the fight he lost in part because of injury. Its pretty disappointing as he really could have launched if he won a few more fights consecutively.

Rocky would have beaten anyone because he refused to lose.  He had more guts, determination, heart, desire than anybody.  He was a fighter and a warrior with amazing stamina and drive and oh yeah, he also had the hardest punch of all time.  These china chin fat heavyweights today would crumble if they would have been able to face the Brockton Blockbuster 49-0-0 43 KO's and the greatest of all time.
