Boxing: How likely is a Klitschko - Brewster rematch now?
465532
Aside from my silly oversight in the who should wlad fight next question with regards to the last fight vs brewster i think the fight has to be on the shelf for a while. Brewster did just come off a loss and he is injured so id imagine he needs to not only heal but get some kind of tune up in before he fights wladimir. \n\nbut truth be told unless brewster lands another huge shot like the last fight i cant imagine steward lets wladimir set such a high pace that the same thing happens again. Though it probably would have worked had he not gotten caught anyway, brewster was on the way out.

I think he will do well as long as he stays at Light-Welter i think his last outing against Collazo has given everybody enough evidence already that he isn't gonna rule the Welterweight division. I hope he goes after Castillo after Urango and then the other Belt holders at Light-Welter then maybe America will sit up and take notice.\nThe answer to your other question is a definite yes but only at Light-Welter and Mayweather is never gonna drop back down so we unfortunately will never see this fight.\nI would just like to ask Oya, when he noticed Hatton being vulnerable to these shots, Ive been watching him for ten years and haven't really seen him in trouble apart from against 2 southpaws (Collazo and Macgee) who never threw a straight right to trouble him as i remember ????????? And how is his chin questionable he has been knocked down once in his career and he got up and won the fight ???????????? And Mayweather will have to start throwing Punch's instead of running away if he is going to knock anybody out ever again.??????????? and for anybody significant, He fought Kostya Tszyu in a fight which he wasn't supposed to win according to the bookies, watch what Kostya done to Sharmba Mitchell and Zab (chicken dance) Judah if you think he weren't significant.

Lennox Lewis was the title-holder when he fought Vitali Klitschko so he did not take Klitschko's belt. Their fight ended when Vitali was stopped on cuts. There were no knockdowns.\n\nVitali was disappointed that Lewis retired instead of fighting a rematch, but I don't think they're enemies. They're both very respectful people. Unfortunately, they're never in the same area so we can't see if they get chummy or not.

Arum's getting ready to pull the plug in the next couple of years, Oscars the new kid on the block, he seems to like other Promoters fighters. He hasn't brought a fighter up through the ranks yet.\n                In a boxing match, I'd have to go with De La Hoya stopping Arum in 5th round with a body shot.

My fearless forecast?\n\nManny Pacquiao on the 8th round via a knockout...\n\nLarios may be good but in this situation Pacquiao is the stronger puncher...  The only thing Pacquiao needs to worry about is Larios' jab in setting up a power punch.. He should not be flat footed...\n\nPacquiao is not a one of the best fighters in the world - pound for pound for nothing..

There will definitely be another great heavyweight champion.  The question is however, is there a champion around now who has the potential to become one, and the answer is yes.  Wladimir Klitschko has had his difficulties in the past, but right now he is in the perfect position to become the next great heavyweight.  If he were to go on and fight Hasim Rahman and win, he would have, in my opinion, no one around who could beat him.  He easily dismantled Chris Byrd, who was in the opinion of many for a while to be the best heavyweight.  So the answer is yes, their will be one, and Wladimir Klitschko has the ability to become one.    \nAlso, I am rather surprised that you didn't mention Lennox Lewis as one of the titans of boxing.

I've been following Chavez Jr's career for the past couple of years, and have been impressed by his maturity in the ring. However, he hasn't seemed to have learned very much, and I sometimes wonder just how much further he can advance as a professional boxer. \n\nJulito's fight last December against Carlos Molina ended in a draw, and his rematch with him next month (February 18th) will tell us definitely what we can expect from him in the future. My guess is that he will go remain undefeated for the rest of this year against slightly better opponents, but will inevitably get his first loss when he faces much tougher opposition sometime in 2007.

Of the current contenders as ranked by Ring Magazine, I think John Ruiz would be the most likely to take such a shot.  The other contenders--assuming the fight is five months from now--had fought recently, many of them losing, and therefore wouldn't be interested.\n\nRuiz hasn't fought in about a year and would probably want a rematch with WBA beltholder Nicolay Valuev.  I think he would also take a shot against WBO beltholder Shannon Briggs, who looks the least impressive of the current beltholders.\n\nAnother fighter who would take the shot would be Samuel Peter, who likely feels that his performance against IBF beltholder Wladimir Klitschko was good enough even though it didn't get him a win.

Way to Early for a rematch either man can KTFO of the other i think a rematch with Ricco Rodriguez or Frank Mir would have been a better match-up for these guys maybe even a match with Tank Abbott would be fun to watch and a easy match for either opponent. Why Pedro Rizzo hasn't had a shot at the gold is hard to understand he is a counter fighter which would be a good fight with either of these guys who love to push the pace. I don't think it was luck that Tim KO Andrei he has 260 pounds behind those gloves and loves to throw them. All that aside come UFC 61 i think Andrei will take the fight to the ground and try to submit Tim quickly but Pat and Jeremy Horn will be working him over on that every day cant wait what a fight hope it ends in a KO.

I hope so! He is the most entertaining boxer around and he is great at building up hype whether he is eating a pizza at weigh in, smoking a cigarette before the match or drinking a beer afterward; you got to love it. Also he is a purely offensive fighter that makes even a normally boring opponent look exciting and I have never seen him in a bad fight. His last couple fights have been against elite fighters - Trinidad and De La Hoya. If he takes a lesser fight and wins he will look good and be right back in the mix for a big money fight.

Marlon ~\n              Juan Manuel Marquez will beat Manny, Manny had him down three times in the first round and still only got a draw (which was indeed a gift) He's turning into a selfish glut already, he's fighting Marco Antonio Barrera again for what reason? He clearly dominated him the first time they fought. How come Manny or Freddy never talk about a rematch with Marquez? This past weekend Marquez destroyed Manny's countryman Jaca who is also a left handed fighter from the Philippines, he's sending Manny a message and Manny doesn't want it.\n\n  Four years ago Manny would have jumped on a rematch with Marquez before he started making millions, it seems that boy who use to make his money selling cigarettes fell in the some greed machine that so many other boxers have. He fighting just for the money not the honor of the CHAMPIONSHIP.\n\n  Thanks for your great question Marlon, I think you too see what direction Manny is going in. Peace.

Pacman's next fight is really dependent on the outcome of the nastiness going on between GBP and Top Rank. "De La Hoya and his Los Angeles-based Golden Boy Promotions, are asking the Los Angeles Superior Court for unspecified damages and a court order preventing Arum’s Top Rank Inc. of Las Vegas from promoting Pacquiao’s next fight, slated for March."\n\nAt Manny Pacquiao's victory press conference held at Manila City Hall, the Filipino superstar discussed the recent talk of him fighting undefeated WBA super featherweight champion Edwin Valero.\n\n“All Valero’s opponents were tricycle drivers,” Pacquiao said.\n\nPacquiao said that he would prefer a bout against WBC champ Marco Antonio Barrera, but said that if Valero wants him in March, he will be in very "big trouble." Also, the Barrera rematch promises to put 5million plus in Pacman's bank account. Stay tuned.

Very very good fight.  Hopkins destroyed him, and also knocked him down in the fifth.  Hopkins definately brought the fight to Tarver, had he fought this way against Taylor, this is no doubt that he would have won.  Both were in very good shape, and Hopkins still very cut after gaining 15 pounds.  No, I doubt hopkins will have a rematch though, he won the fight VERY easily, toying with Tarver at times.  So I think he'll stay retired, after the fight he told everyone good bye and everything.  He also told Merchant that he had no hard feelings for Taylor, and he hopes he wins next week.  Very professional.

I really dont think he is ready to get in with Manny yet, maybe somewhere down the line after he has been in against some decent fighters and builds experience he might have a chance a slim one at that. In Valeros last fight as you will know he moved up a level to take on Mosquera who isnt the biggest puncher around and promptly got put on his backside, imagine what the freakish power of the Pacman would do to him at the moment, i think it would be a slugfest for the 2 or so rounds that it might last but i could only see one winner if this fight took place now and that would be Manny "The Pacman" Pacquiao.

I think it's most likely going to be someone from a former Soviet-bloc country,  the leading 'next great heavyweights' in my book are,\n\nWladimir Klitschko of Ukraine \nHe easily outboxed and outpunched Chris Byrd and earned the IBF title.\n\nSergei Liakhovich of Belarus\nHe had put on a great show with Lamon Brewster and now holds the WBO title.\n\nOleg Maskaev of Kazakhstan \nIf his rematch with Rahman goes well, he'll hold the WBC title.\n\n\nAll three of these guys are good boxers with a lot of potential.  Maskaev's chin may be a little suspect, but so was Klitschko's .. undeserving, if you ask me.  Anyone of these guys can throw enough power to knock anybody down.\n\n\nOf course, I'm a fan of Baby Joe Mesi.  He's still undefeated.  But his last couple of wins were struggles, especially with Jirov who had just stepped up from cruiserweight, if memory serves.  Joe hasn't been fully tested against a true heavyweight contender, and at this point, since he has suffered multiple subdural hematomas on his brain, I just cannot support his continued fighting.  I liked to watch the guy box, but now it's just a matter of time before he gets seriously hurt.\n\n\nOf all of these guys, I like Klitschko's chances the best. With Manny Steward in his corner he seems to have settled into a better strategy for winning fights .. accentuating his strengths, staying away from the opponent's strengths, and maximizing his opponent's weakness.  He just systematically demolished Byrd from the start of the 2nd round.  Unless he falls back into bad habits of punching himself out or moving straight back and suffers another huge knockout loss, I think he'll be on the move toward the next great heavyweight.\n\nOf course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

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.
