Cruelty is the wrong word here. It would imply that the boxers themselves don't choose to fight, which is the case sometimes but rarely.\n\nUnfortunately, to the lowest denominator, boxing is only appealing for its brutality, but for most fans it is more than that. Boxing is about being in top athletic condition, using natural talents like speed and using intelligence in the ring. It is both a sport and artistry. Many fans, myself included, love a masterful defense as much as a good offense. A great display of athleticism without punches landed may not sound like boxing to you, but it's something any true fan would appreciate.\n\nI understand your concerns about boxing, though. There are a lot of injuries and sometimes even deaths incurred in this sport. However, this is due to lack of regulation - fighters not being required to pass necessary tests before getting in the ring, inexperienced officials, matchups of different level fighters. These are things which need to be addressed to improve the safety of the fighters.\n\nI do know the risks that boxers take when they get in the ring, and I was recently very affected by the death of Kevin Payne, but I don't think that's any reason for the sport to be banned - just better regulated.\n\nBoxing is the purest form of competition, a test to see who is the better fighter or athlete. It should not be personal. In fact, hate or other personal feelings interfere with a boxer's performance. It's about testing your ability against another fighter whose athleticism you respect.

I watched virtually no boxing for about 10 years, so can't offer an opinion about anyone since then, but to that point my choice is Larry Holmes. He was very much like Ali, though only more consistent. It is a shame he lost on his attempt to tie Marciano's record - and to someone about the same size and weight (Michael Spinks) to boot - though a very different type of fighter. Yet things like that happen. I have to believe that overall Holmes' competition was much more difficult.\n\nMost of the great fighters fought too long, so I basically ignore losses for some of them late in their career regarding this.

According to Boxing Records.com, he had two professional fights, both in 1961 in Spokane, Washington. His career record was 1-1. \n\nIn his first bout, he won a 4-round decision against Micky Gilmer. His second bout was a loss. He was TKO'ed in 2:29 of the second round, losing to Lee Como.\n\nApparently, he never fought again or perhaps under another name, which was a very common practice in boxing in past eras, but after only 2 fights, it's unlikely. \n\nHe fought as a welterweight/middleweight

Holy crap... never thought anyone would ever talk about Lennox Lewis... I, too am a fan of Lennox and think that in his prime, he would make the current crop of heavyweights look ridiculous (well, most of the heavyweights out there do a pretty good job of making themselves look ridiculous)... however, he was commentating a recent fight (Mayweather vs. Judah) and I thought age had caught up with him pretty quickly... I have no doubt he could win a belt or two, but I would rather he stay retired so I can remember him as the dominate champion of his time... as far as a rematch with Klitschko, that would mean he would have to give up his political dreams to come back to fight... although Lennox got as good as he gave during that fight, I was proud of him as most observers questioned his heart and chin during his career. He answered a lot of questions concerning both during that bout.

Boxing, anyday.\n\nThe example you gave isn't that great. I've heard that the Great Khali is even less mobile than Giant Gonzalez, so putting him against Mark Henry would probably be anything but enjoyable. Kevin McBride isn't that interesting either, but I'd like to see what kind of fightplan Wlad would use to beat him.\n\nBut no matter who was fighting, I would watch boxing, as would most of my friends. High-flying moves and suplexes may be very rare, but any boxing fan afficionado will be able to notice all the subtleties which you just can't find in pro wrestling. And the storylines are more interesting too. What could be more interesting than real people?

He actually left the sport of boxing very bitter. In an unofficial interview conducted at an On-line Boxing Forum He stated that his main reason for leaving the sport was because of all the people spelling his name wrong. Poor Guy.

Manny Pacquiao won the match.\n\nThe two fighters were scheduled for a final confrontation on November 18, 2006 in Las Vegas. \nThat fight was won by Pacquiao at 2:15 of Round 3 by KO.

Actually I saw Audlee Harrison get beat by a no name on BFC and he has yet to fight any BIG names in the U.S. to prove himself. If you are judging by best English heavyweight he may be the one but I would have to go with Vladimir Klitchko for current best heavyweight over all. He proved this by beating Sam Peter, an undefeated hopeful, and dominating Cris Byrd. He is taking on the best of the best. His critics point to his lost to Brewster where he wore himself out but you have to remember he dominated every minute of the fight before that and there was no rematch. I think he just had a bad night.

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.

Choose Mike Anderson because Chris Brown has an elbow injury and is facing Seattle.

I would have loved to see Danny Greene K.O. mundine.Danny seems to be from the "old school", a Rocky type of fighter who just keeps on grinding away at his opponents. Mundine's a great fighter, his natural ability, his fitness, gets him through,BUT,his mouth lets him down. If there is nothing good to say about your opponent, say nothing!I don't know what made him wear that ridiculous outfit to the weigh-in, but he looked like he just stepped out of an old Al Capone movie, a pimp, straight out of the brothel.Bad losers are pathetic but loud mouthed winners are worse!Mundine was the better boxer on the night but Greene will always be a better man!

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.

I think that you are talking about the welterweight Kevin Payne, who won a split decision against Ryan Maraldo.\n\nthere is still no the information about his condition.
