Matthew Hatton?
Sergio Martinez?
Nonito Donaire?
Saul Alavarez?
These cats seem destined to inject some new blood into the wilting and sometimes painful to watch sport of boxing. Matthew Hatton is ranked 11th in the world and apparently the top dog of the UK. He is the younger brother of Ricky "The Fucking Caveman" Hatton. He's set to fight Saul Alvarez on March 5th. Saul's ranked as the 2nd best super welterweight, and generally regarded as the next big Mexican Champ.
Nonito Donaire fucked up Fernando Montiel in the 2nd round a little earlier tonight, and he's supposedly this super swag bantamweight the annoucers won't stop making Pacquiao comparisions about. What's worse is, as a fighter he says he's totally cool with being in another fighter such as Pacquiao's shadow, and he likes being 2nd best. Where the fuck is your heart?
Sergio Martinez holds the Ring World middleweight title, and used to hold the WBC super welterweight title. At 46 wins, two losses and two draws he's also getting some recognition for being a quick southpaw with confidence out the ass after his second round knockout of Paul Williams. On March 12th he's set to fight Ukraine boxer Sergei Dzinziruk, which'll certainly help his stock rise. Though, his being The Ring's Fighter of the year and also being listed as third best fighter in the world pound for pound don't hurt either.
What fighters do you think are gonna come into the sport and change shit up? What do you think about Showtime actually running pretty decent fights now?

"my age"
well dang making me feel old

I am lithe and bendy still
i can fight coach put me in put me in
also nowadays i'm way too goddamn lazy to train. you seen those fuckers do the jumprope shit?
that jumprope shit burns something like 150 calories every 10 minutes
they do it for a REASON
its not for everybody
and I was like yessssssssssssss i got TONS of those dudes but then realized you didn't say that
but shrug, I've never even tried it, so this just all might be just dreams without realizing how much is put into it
but i have the HEART
like any athelete, a fighter has to train tirelessly and build his skills. boxing is a sport where there are tons of techniques and methods one must soak up in addition to training to build strength and stamina
when I get a chance, I'll try my hand at it and see if I dig it

that looks like it contains a cheese of some sort and at LEAST two or three forms of meat
wrapped in some sort of bread-like kajigger
I would eat that
I would eat that off the floor of an arby's
koshian seriously I eat more brown-people food than you eat all types of food
it's a thing you really have to start when you're a teenager
shit, 25 is the twilight age for a lot of fighters
most guys don't make it past 30 in the sport

Because I can't be bothered researching and writing it all up myself:
Oops, he's currently the best in the world.
Its a bunch of bullshit that allows fighters to dodge more fights than they do punches.
one: a unified body
two: the dissolution of all bodies and titles
Boxing is still one of the greatest sports out there.
