i don't get your ayatollah shtick, are you actually from iran or what? Because you always post about hunting and you've said before that you live in florida.

Besides, we all know iran was at it's peak under the shah.

I fear you, like so many of your countrymen, are completely lacking in any sense of irony !

Michigan is a great state, but unfortunately the economy isn't a strong point. So many people are losing their jobs and the unemployment rate is too high.

The winters aren't too great either - unless you like blistering cold weather and loads of snow. Beautiful in the other seasons though.

Overall, a great state and a nice place to raise a family:good

Don't beat the kid up too bad, your eminence - when I first joined, I wasn't 100 percent sure myself!! :lol:

I need you to please declare some boxing fatwas on the following boxers:

1) Povetkin
2) Calzaghy
3) Cotto

Here are my fatwas:

Povetkin - looks like a good well-rounded fighter to me. His relatively small size compared to the typical HW of today makes me somewhat dubious as to how far he'll go, or if he'll be able to stay on top long if he makes it, but so far he looks very promising. I think he will win a wide UD over Eddie Chambers.

Calzaghe - has certainly established himself as a top five P4P fighter, and the greatest ever at his weight. I will not accord him ATG status until beats Hopkins, which he will if they meet.

Cotto - I was extremely impressed by his performance over Mosley, who I thought would beat him. He is well on his way to establishing himself as a great fighter, and I think that a fight with Mayweather would be almost a toss up at this point (pending Floyd's performance against Hatton). It seems as if his chin issues were mostly the result of weight draining, as Amsterdam and others pointed out.

Does that meet what you are looking for, oh Godly One??:huh

Ayatollah of Boxing, what are your thought on jihad against John Ruiz?

Also, how would you rank the following chins?
* Lennox Lewis
* "The Easton Assassin" Larry Holmes
* "Iron" Mike Tyson
* Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield
* Riddick "Big Daddy" Bowe

I eagerly await your response.

A jihad on Ruiz is most definitely justified, as his infractions against the rules of boxing, basic sportsmanship, and indeed human decency itself are many and legendary.

In terms of rating the chins - To keep it simple, I will rate them on a scale of 1 to 10:

Lewis - 4
Holmes - 7
Tyson - 8
Holyfield - 9
Bowe - 7

And I do apologize for not responding to this thread sooner, but it must have escaped my gaze. Thankfuly, the Grand Ayatollah of ESB altered me to the fact that folks had responded!:good

Zakatollah,

Who should Go Jihad on Ruiz?

Wlad?
Tua?
Peter?

Please declare!

Any one of the them would be a good candidate.

Tua did dispose of the cheating clubfighter in 19 seconds, so he's got a lot to recommend him. On the other hand, all he's been doing lately is taking on some tomato can every once and awhile.

Peter is certainly closer to the top of his game, although he's showed vulnerability of late - and he hasn't really been knocking people out since he moved up. On the other hand, Ruiz has never knocked out a legitimate top level fighter, so it's unlikely Peter has much to fear.

Nonetheless, I'd pick either of these guys to dispose of Ruiz, probably before the 6th. However, the fighter who is, imo, best equipped, right now, to rid us of the Ruiz scourge as quickly as possible is..........

Wlad Klitschko - who would do it extremely quickly, probably somewhere with the first three rounds.:yep

Hopefully the make one of these fights with that cheating fraud quickly, and the jihad will be completed!!:happy
