We having a MMA thread and thank you @Wrong for pretty much keeping that going.

I thought I'd start a Boxing thread for fights. I don't watch as many as I used to because let's face it, there're way to many weight classes.

Pacquiao vs Thurman
Anyone watching?

Going underdog. Go Pac Man

Pac winning thru 7.

My favorite Mayweather fight. Shows every aspect of floyd’s skill early in his career, after a long lay off, against a game fighter with no quit in him.

Floyd breaks his right hand and begins putting on Roy Jones Jr level of left hooks before the guy’s corner man finally throws in the towel.

Floyd will always be the goat in my eyes, even compared to Sugar Ray.

He just absolutely schooled everyone in his old age.

SRL in 1980 treats Floyd Jr. just like he did Sr.

Geriatric Boxing:

Evander Holyfield has announced that he has also begun training and is looking to challenge Mike Tyson to a charity exhibition fight which ironically will be sponsored by the fine folks at AARP.

This won’t be good.

This won’t be good.

No it won't; however, to be fair, Tyson has looked to be in pretty good shape, with very fast hands, in his workout videos.

Holyfield still has another ear to offer up as well, maybe won’t be too bad.

And foreman won the belt at 45 with a stiff straight KOing Moorer. They say power is the last thing to go and both men had a lot of it.

Mike Tyson comeback? Champ posts another Instagram workout: 'I'm back'

He has definitely slowed.

He has definitely slowed.

He is 53.

Tyson in his prime was the best boxer I ever saw. Kept blowing money on all his PPV fights. HATED it back then. Now? It was worth it to witness greatness.

 

[Eat Sleep Fish]

Different eras, but Tyson would've messed up Ali. And I am a Louisville born guy. Ali wouldn't have had time to rope a dope.

FWIW, Hagler vs Hearns or Ward Vs Gotti were the two best fights in any class that I have ever seen. WARS man! WARS!
