Can't wait Hi,
Marquez has always seemed to cause Manny trouble - he really takes the fight to him big time!
Suave! Bradley isn't very happy that Pacman picked Marquez.
Manny Pacquiao Takes a Shot at Timothy Bradley
I do like Pacman's response though. Good fight that Mitchell vs burns Agreed,thought burns was fantastic,a couple of lads from my village (Bradley Saunders,Gary Fox) had been up sparring with burns for the fight,fantastic opportunity for them,and i think it showed in Saunders performance on same bill,Fox has a northern area title fight next sunday,hope he wins that and moves upwardsdata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Khan to fight Colina in December
Under new trainer Virgil Hunter Well considering Ward has to be THE master of evasion, I guess he could teach Khan a few useful tricks. only time will tell mind you, after all Roach tried drumming sense into Khan about not getting into brawls and if the ears aren't listeningdata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Sensible opponent coming off two defeats, a former lightweight with no real KO power. Should be a risk free easy win for Khan I would think. Don't venture into the boxing thread too often but have just seen this online and thought it should be posted:
Boxer Cruz is first to come out as gay
Quite a big deal and fair play to the man for coming out whilst at such a height in his career. It's hard enough for ex-pros of sport to come out anyway so this is quite an announcement and my hat goes off to him.
Also, I heard he's pretty handy and enjoys giving a good fisting in the ring. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Andre Dirrell - TBA So Khan has said he'd be interested in fighting his good friend Ricky Hatton if the opportunity arises.
Funny isn't it, he categorically stated that he would never fight Pacquiao due to him being a good friend.

I hope that fight never happens, have been a great follower of Ricky over the years and would hate to see him lose to Khan, which I think at this stage of his career would be the likely outcome(in his prime however, no chance!).
