Worlds fastest Indian, second favourite is Easy Rider, I restored my father's 28 Indian when he passed away. I stopped riding anymore after my son was born as I frightened of being knocked of and leaving the family up the creek.

No pets but this is the first time in my life since my dog died a couple of years ago I will be 52 this year.

For women's boxing, fighting is a test of wills.

Manny and Floyd.

Weight classes are fine, we need one champ for each one.

maybe 150 matches.

no PPV

To fix, one governing body, much more stringent drug testing (drug testing in boxing is a joke).

My favorite movie is the exorcist

like the movie, 8 is enough, 8 divisions is enough for boxing

and I hate women's boxing. If you watch women's boxing then surely you have no life

and as far as I'm concerned, the sport of boxing is dead. too much money involved and not enough talent. notice how the attitude is "so and so is the star so he can demand such and such amount"

since the days of Ray Leonard this attitude prevailed and shorthanged the fans even as they defended such actions

What is your favorite movie?
Big Trouble in Little China

What is your favorite drink?
Green tea with Aloe Vera pulp mixed with vodka

Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport?
I guess MMA would be a distant, distant, distant, distant second. I have an interest in pretty much all combat sports. Those aside, I hold no interest in other sports. As a matter of fact, I view all other sports from Hockey to Basketball to Lacrosse with the utmost disdain. I especially hate football and baseball. I would include NASCAR but it would be an insult to real athletes to call that a sport.

Pets or no pets?
I have a dog back in Alaska. Have had her for 11 years now. She's smarter than your dog and would also beat it in a fight.

Are you for or against women's boxing?
I hate women's boxing. I love women's mixed martial arts on the condition that the combatants are hot.

Which match does boxing need the most?
Nicolai Valuev v. John Ruiz II.

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?.
Three. from 0 pounds to 100 pounds. From 100 pounds to 200 pounds and from 200 pounds to infinity pounds. We should also allow other species to participate in boxing. Like elephants.

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own?
I would have to count them. I won't. I don't have many on DVD, I have quite a few downloaded from torrents and I used to have a shit-ton recorded on my DVR before I left home. By now they're all replaced by episodes of One Tree Hill and The Vampire Diaries. Fucking teenagers.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year?
All of the big ones not involving Floyd Maywather Jr. This year, though, it will probably be different, since I'm short on funds.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?
I would require all fighters snort a line of cocaine between each round and I would also have sprinklers rain pigs blood down upon the ring and have death metal blasting over the speakers throughout the fight. Cocaine, blood, Death-metal. And strobe lights.

Thank you Benny.

I also enjoy shoot 'em ups


as for women's boxing, thats a joke. They are much the weaker of the the two sexes with all the weight distributed in the wrong places which slows them down. They're not made for the sport and come across as clumsy plodders with their chins up in the air doing the doggie paddle in the pool

I knew it was nothing more than a another fad of the 90s that would die a slow death. even the daughter of Ali vs the daughter of Frazier couldnt help it and reeked of desperation. Let's face it, it's a bad idea from the start

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have? I'd love to see boxing back to the days of the original 8 weight classes. I wonder what that would do.

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own? 60-70.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year? Maybe 1 or 2.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing? I'd stop with all the nonsense belts and return to the days of having a single world champion, therefore the fighters would have something to shoot for and couldn't take the easy road.

What is your favorite movie?
Haven't got just one favourite and there's way too many to name all up. I'll narrow it down to my favourite directors:

Andrei Tarkovsky
Ingmar Bergman
Federico Fellini
Michelangelo Antonioni
Theo Angelopoulos
Carl Dreyer
Werner Herzog
Akira Kurosawa
Abbas Kiarostami
John Ford
Alfred Hitchcock
Stanley Kubrick
David Lynch
Martin Scorsese

There's not many films they make that I don't like.

What is your favorite drink?
Water, but as far as alcoholic drinks go, vodka & orange when I'm chilling and absinthe shotties when it's time to get messed up.

Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport?
I'd probably say tennis, but I like weight lifting and Australian Rules Football too.

Pets or no pets?
No pets.

Are you for or against women's boxing?
I wouldn't sanction against it, but I have zero interest in it.

Which match does boxing need the most?
Harry Greb vs. Mickey Walker on film.

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?.
8. But I'd consider keeping junior welterweight.

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own?
Never counted, but I have about 400 DVD's, with probably about 4 or 5 fights on average per disc I'd say.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year?
None. At best I'll go down to the pub and watch a fight, or simply download it afterward. There's many high profile fights nowadays where I don't even bother to do that.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?
Boxing needs to be treated seriously as a cultural practice. That means it needs to be reported upon and discussed seriouslly and frequently, not simply when Tyson fucks up somehow or DLH plans some mega-dud fight. Basically boxing needs a raised consciousness amongst common people as a great sport.

I can't tell you how much it pisses me off to see a hack sport like golf reported on daily in the papers and only random misdemeanours being reported for boxing. FUCK GOLF! I have such a passionate hate for that elitist, pathetic 'sport'. And as George Carlin would say: and Fuck Tiger Woods!

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?

favorite movie - Animal House
drink - unsweetened iced tea with lemon

sport - american football

women's boxing - I don't watch women's sports so I don't care one way or the other

match - Floyd vs Pac

I'd streamline it down to about half of 17 you mentioned so say 9 divisions

pets - one rabbit and one cat

I had a bigger collection in the past. I gave a lot of stuff away moving a couple times. Only about 7 - 10 tapes and DVD's left sad to say.

I have not bought a PPV in a LONG time.

In fixing boxing the status quo is to blame the stereotypical greedy, bloodsucking promoters which definitely holds true. But Manny Pac and Floyd are exhibiting some rather 'divaish' behavior in their protracted negotiations. I'm sure many purists would like to boycott their subsequent fights until they fight eachother. Could you imagine if thirty-years ago Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard had been such egomaniacs and prevented their fight from taking place?!!! No, they really loved the sport in it's purest form. Boxing, as everything else in modern society, is all about the bottom line and clashing egos. What a pity huh?

None at the moment. I had some budgies and rabbits when I was young and had a cat which died last year - of old age, he survived beeing ferried across by a car two times, one time lying aside of the street with serious injuries for many hours before he was found. Hard bastard :good

I don´t care about it.

Pacquiao - Mayweather

How many divisions does boxing need?

I'd be delighted to go back to the original 8 weight classes.

How many fights do I own?

Not sure exactly - over 1000 though.

How many ppv's do I order?

None. You don't get many over here in the UK - when one is on, I'll go to the pub or a friends house to watch it.

How would I fix boxing?

Less weight classes, same day weigh-ins and 15 round fights for starters. I would try to foster an atmosphere where fighters aren't punished too harshly for losing a fight, rather they get rewarded for taking difficult ones. At most, there should be one sanctioning body and one champion per weight class.

Manny and Floyd

About 3 dvds and 100 tapes which comes to around 1000 fights.

None i go to my uncles or friends who always has fight parties,but i never miss any.

Have super 6 like tourneys in every division.

Oh my favorite drinks are Caciadores(tequila),Cape cods,Brandy, All kinds of beer although like most German Beers the best. trying to kick back. Drink Whey Protein drinks after my Weightlifting routines and throughout the day.

1. Jaws

2. Vodka

4. Looking to get a dog soon

5. Don't care

6. Manny/Floyd

7. 17 is fine. Maybe get rid of some of the lightest weights---everyone moves up anyway, or at least tries to.

8. 100-125. Youtube makes it hard to get motivated to buy more, although I plan on it.

9. Usually none...I go to a bar or figure out a party with friends.

10. One, independent, sanctioning body with much higher regulations in all areas. Mandated fights (within reason...both fighters should not be forced to fight with an injury, obviously). Pension plans for fighters--the sport needs to be more attractive/lucrative to young talent.

Yeah great, great films.

Btw, some nice choices on your current favourite films: especially A Clockwork Orange and City of God. :good

I´d give my pinkies to see this fight. :good

Likewise. Wouldn't really mind all that much if we don't see Pac-Floyd, even though I'd like to see it.

Big Trouble in Little China

What is your favorite drink?
Green tea with Aloe Vera pulp mixed with vodka

Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport?
I guess MMA would be a distant, distant, distant, distant second. I have an interest in pretty much all combat sports. Those aside, I hold no interest in other sports. As a matter of fact, I view all other sports from Hockey to Basketball to Lacrosse with the utmost disdain. I especially hate football and baseball. I would include NASCAR but it would be an insult to real athletes to call that a sport.

Pets or no pets?
I have a dog back in Alaska. Have had her for 11 years now. She's smarter than your dog and would also beat it in a fight.

Are you for or against women's boxing?
I hate women's boxing. I love women's mixed martial arts on the condition that the combatants are hot.

Which match does boxing need the most?
Nicolai Valuev v. John Ruiz II.

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?.
Three. from 0 pounds to 100 pounds. From 100 pounds to 200 pounds and from 200 pounds to infinity pounds. We should also allow other species to participate in boxing. Like elephants.

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own?
I would have to count them. I won't. I don't have many on DVD, I have quite a few downloaded from torrents and I used to have a shit-ton recorded on my DVR before I left home. By now they're all replaced by episodes of One Tree Hill and The Vampire Diaries. Fucking teenagers.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year?
All of the big ones not involving Floyd Maywather Jr. This year, though, it will probably be different, since I'm short on funds.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?
I would require all fighters snort a line of cocaine between each round and I would also have sprinklers rain pigs blood down upon the ring and have death metal blasting over the speakers throughout the fight. Cocaine, blood, Death-metal. And strobe lights.

Not sure, the last film I watched was 50 Dead Men Wlaking which was pretty good and an amazing story. Maybe Scarface as my favrouite.

What is your favorite drink?

When I'm training its Lucozade sport when I can relax abit a Coca-Cola or an Irn-Bru.

Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport?

Not really into any other sport. But I am a fan of Real Madrid and Peterhead Football club but no a massive fan. I also have really enjoyed watching Darts this year.

Pets or no pets?

No pets. Not a massive pets fan but some animals get through to me like my Grans old dogs.

Are you for or against women's boxing?

I'm for it but only because some girls want to box. I wont watch it personally but let people what they want to do.

Which match does boxing need the most?

Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?.

17

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own?

I have just over 300 DVD's maybe 100 fights on my computer so I would tally it up as maybe 1000 bouts.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year?

All of them, I am a boxing geek.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?

A world-wide commision. And 2 Champions at every weight at most.

my boxer liston said to tell your dog to bring it :lol:

It's a deal. The fight has to take place at a catch-weight of 30 pounds. If your dog comes in over the catch-weight a penalty of 600,000 dollars will be paid. The fight must take place in my dog's back yard, literally. Both fighters must be subjected to Olympic style drug testing throughout training camps up two as close as two days before the fight. The split will be 65/35 if my dogs favor. None of these terms are negotiable. If you agree to these terms, let's get it on.

I'm fine with 17.

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own?
Before my PC Crashed about 200 fights.

3-4 PPV fights, I alternate with friends on who buys which fight.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?
More fights.
Less BS PPVs.
1 Champ per division
Pension Plan that would hopefully divert prospective NFL or Premiership or NBA or MLB players to venture into boxing. 15 rounders would be nice but they were axed for a reason, a snorefest would totally put off the casual fan. Especially if it went the distance.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather of course. But I didn't expect Floyd to go through with it, and I don't believe he ever will.

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?

10. The original 8 plus cruiserweight and minimumweight. The jump from lhw to hw is far too much without a division in between, and for the little guys the 7lbs between minimum and fly is a chasm.

We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?. I think a few of the jr divisions for the smallest weightclasses could go. Maybe leave 13.

Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own? I've got lots of recordings from over the years but I tape over stuff, I don't know how many full matches I have. I've only got 2 bought fight tapes.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year? I've bought 2 in my life, Hatton vs Maussa and Hatton vs Mayweather.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing? Get boxing back onto regular tv in as many countries as possible, particularily America. Lots of title belts isn't good for boxing but the average guy on the street having no clue who holds any of them because he never sees any boxing is worse.

How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year?... We get most for free in the UK but I would buy a DLH-Hopkins or FMJ-MP PPV before a Kahn or Hatton PPV, the quality is what matters to me, not the country where they are from.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?... 1 belt per division, 15 rds (or at least 13 rds) for title fights, champions must defend at least 3 times a year or be stripped, winner gets the largest share of the money, top 2 p4p guys MUST fight if in the same weight or be banned until they do.

The fight must take place in my dog's back yard, literally. Both fighters must be subjected to Olympic style drug testing throughout training camps up two as close as two days before the fight. The split will be 65/35 if my dogs favor. None of these terms are negotiable. If you agree to these terms, let's get it on.

How ruthlessly? Currently Wladamir would be stripped for not matching Vitali and Pacquiao-Mayweather would probably be unmakable too (with Mosley interuppting their fight as champion or #1 contender).

In my system Vitally might never have gained the status of No1 challenger, because any aspiring beltholder would have had to go through Wladamir, hence when he comes out of retirment he has to either be prepared to fight his brother or be second teir.

It would break my heart to make them fight of course.

Pac Mayweather probably would stand under my system because they are both ranked top 3 at welter and are the pound for pound 1 and 2. The difference is that Pacquiao would have fought Mosley instead of Cotto.

Fights on tape: I have 200 hundred or so

PPV: none, I don't own a tv and always go to a bar or a friends' place to watch the big fights, more fun that way

FIxing boxing: go to 9 weight classes, one sanctioning body and one champ per division. Mandatory boxer's pension scheme paid by a % of the purse. Stop home-town decisions and home-town alphabet "champions". Improve drug testing to olympic levels. No 3-knockdown or standing 8 count rules. Hotter ring girls :D

Hopefully David Haye will sort out the heavyweight picture - Pac will reign supreme - get rid of the alphabet boys and bring back 15 rounds and maybe teach it in physical education at school again even if just for the fitness aspect if no sparring aloud in schools

Are you laughing at me cause I like this movie or do you think it is a bad movie?

You're from the hood are you?, do tell. No i dont live in the hood no more but did so when i was young and even recently. I like the Movie,some parts are Corny and some Charachters are funny, Some realistic and some not so realistic. But overall it was very entertaining. Miklo is a crackup,and so is the guy who tried to rape him in prison, Give me Chon Chone:rofl:rofl

We finally agree on something. The majority of the general think that Anne Wolfe would have beaten Matt Vanda.

...Helll naw.
Yey i couldnt believe that one:patsch Stupid idiots on the Forum huh? I think Ann Wolfe would be lucky to make it out the 2nd round.

In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?
Organized Fighting Championship
Less Weight Classes
Better PR for fighters and fights
International Venues (as opposed to ny, atlantic city and la)
Better union between US and Euro fighters
Better undercards with perhaps 6 round fights for up and comers
Less HBO PPV and more free to air boxing, it's hurting the sport.
Better Judges
More creativity in marketing

Also i hate in the big fights where the analysts kill the commentating with over analysis. It's all contradictory and confuses anyone else who doesn't anything of short of live boxing. They get all pernickity aswell.

Basketball, NFL all the rest have clear protocol when commentating and works well. I would like to see the analysists be put on a leash a bit more. Some of the shit Atlas comes out with is cringe worthy aswell.

Not the best movie ever made nor the best acting, but a very good movie. Funny as hell to.

It's my fave' movie cause you see these three family members make huge changes from one bad life choice.

Miklo is funny, all he wants to do is fit in.

The guy that tried to rape him is Popye Savidra. :shock::shock::shock:

I thought it is a lot closer to real life then most movies.

I thought it is a lot closer to real life then most movies. Yey i thought the Cousin who was a boxer then turned cop was a good role and He reminded me of a few people that ive known,especially before he was a cop when he was still gangbanging. Miklo is a funny Charachter.

That guy Popye Savidra was funny but totally unrealistic. He dont even look Mexican, looks like an Aboriginie:lol: And his accent was unrealistic and horrible,didnt look like no cholo either. Good movie though, i thought American ME was a more realistic.

American Me also had its flaws, apparently the rape scene eight when Santana gets locked up would never happen, but you never know

Paco Salvasar (the black rooster 15 ko, he has a great right uppercut), played by Benjamin Bratt.

I watched NCIS one night and the guy with the grey hair? was interveiwing some life long Mexican (tough as teak) gangster, the Mexican said I'm not tellinh you shit, the cop with the grey hair slammed his hand on the desk and the Mexican folded and said some thing like "I'll tell you what ever you want but get this guy off me"

:lol::lol::lol:

I have not watched tv since.

Might have to look up American Me.

You the prison in the movie is San Quinton and a lot of the extra's were inmates.

I am from Australia grew up in Sydney and been living in Brisbane for three years now, you are from the US?

Heard Olmos had to pay them 50 Gs to take the hit off.
