you would think after getting slapped around for the last 20 years in the game of cricket that the poms invented by us aussies and under performing in every world cup or european cup for so long you would think the poms would think a bit more before speaking. but they do have slapping joe calzaghe i guess, a great champ. seriously. but an extremely over rated one..
i challenge you to a duel. ha, but i have to admit he can slap pretty quik

i think katsidis will over take choc soon because he will prob face better opponents
Katsidis is absolutely fantastic to watch, and I really think hes got the potential to be great.

Okay wanka. Sam Soliman, Danny Green, Vic Darchinyian, Anthony Mundine, Paul Briggs, Michael Katsidis, Gary St Clair, Lovemore NDou. Not bad for a country with NO boxing talent.

Vic has achieved more, and is undefeated thus deserving of the number one spot. Mudnine may in your opinion be more talented, but based on achievement Vic is hands down number 1.

Shutup c*nt. Family guy is fantastic. The humour is just too difficult for you to grasp. I would suggest something very low brow, maybe home alone 2 or the three stooges might be a bit more on your level....

He will lose, I don't know if it will end his career though. Diaz isn't a massive puncher, and will most probably put a beat down on Kat, but he will win a lot of fans and come back stronger then ever with a big following to boot.

All they've done is copy The Simpsons (but fail miserably in doing so) except make the main character fatter and stupider. That oh so intelligent humour you talk about is simply Peter having a flash back - enter some homosexual related attempt at a joke - repeat.
I'd rather watch a Frosties commercial than an episode of FG, at least they're original.
Also, do you like American Dad, and find it totally original as well?

I really like Family Guy.
But you will never look at it the same again after you watch the southpark episodes "Cartoon Wars I & II"
They just rip Family guy to shreads in those episodes.
Southpark has gotten better with age, it still has the low-brow poddy humour but it also has got a lot more satirical of pop culture & politics.
Family Guy was awesome but it kind was the same by the 4th and 5th seasons.

Agreed
But I think Katsidas is in with a decent shot of winning that fight. Its just he doesnt have the bigtime experience I think.
Diaz fights at a stupid pace, and can do it for 3 mins of every round.
But I think someone with enough skill and power can stop him in his tracks, and keep that workrate under control. He has shown some glimpses of being beatable.
Mike has to win by KO I reckon.

has anyone really tested diaz's chin? some of those shots katsidis was putting on earl would have put alot of men out for the night :toney
Without a doubt, earl showed big heart getting up from them.
I think it was just Earl was in great shape and could soak up a bit of punishment, thats the only reason he made it out of the first round.
A guy called Eleazar Contreras Jr put him on his arse a few years back. Contreas Jr turned out to be an alright fringe contender but he was by no means a puncher.
He caught with a nice counter punch and thats the only time Ive seen Diaz in any serious trouble.
Angulo & Suico bothered him a bit with their power. Angulo especially seemed to give some tough moments but they were only fleeting moments, Diaz just works to hard.
Freitis to a degree gave him a hard time but Freitis can do that with anyone when he fight hyper like that, eventually he always tires though.

Not the biggest fan of American Dad. But I really like Family Guy. The humour in the simpsons and south park is really prdictable. Family Guy is just completely random and goes on bigt side tracks in the middle of the episode which I find funny. Basically SOuth Park and all the rest of them have limitations, where as family guy removes them by not adhereing to any sort of script most times, which is what makes it so good.

Good post, except you guys have to remember that Diaz was a VERY young world champion and has improved considerably since his early days.
He used to never throw in combinations as well, and his boxing ability was limited.
Now, he has refined his defence, which is better then people give credit for. He uses a lot of good head and upper body movement in close and always keeps a tight guard.
He has worked on making his jab a key weapon, and more and more in recent fights is showing the ability to be quicker on his feet and even occasionally counter punch when needed like he did against the older Cotto.
His combination punching is his biggest improvement though. He throws in 3 and 4 punch combos often, and uses it to overwhelm his opponents. Every punch is thrown hard, and he keeps great balance.
I really rate him as a fighter, and did so before everyone jumped on the bandwagon if anyone remembers. He will be too much for Katsidis.
Kat too often loads up one punch at a time. His defence is leaky too because he doesn't move his head in close he just wants to bore in and throw his offence. Against a guy like Diaz with a solid jab this will spell trouble. If a guy like Earl was matching it with him at times in close imagine what Diaz would do?

In a way, it's more like the newer Simpsons (which I'm not too fond of) in the essence that it relies solely on random senseless humour, as opposed to some kind of plot.
I don't know how you can not like American Dad, but like Family Guy. It's the same goddamn show, except with American Dad they've replaced the talking dog with a talking alien. :roll:
Oh well, to each his own.

Diaz has a very solid chin by the way.

That is a link to round 5 of the Diaz fight. You will have to ignore the commentary though...
Keep in mind he is in there with a very tough guy in Freitas.
Frietas has wins over Casamayor, Raheem and Barrios, and was thoroughly outboxing Corrales for the first half of their fight. No one has ever beaten him the way Juan Diaz did.
Juan Diaz is my number 2 fighter in boxing now (not p4p just because I enjoy watching him fight) behind Miguel Cotto.

I don't like the newer Simpsons either though, which I suppose isn't really consistent. I think the characters are just really old to me, and they need to do something new.
American Dad is different, I haven' t seen enough to point out exactly how, but from what I saw it was pretty stale.

the simpsons are the rabbitohs of the cartoon world. past their best and NEVER coming back.
The Simpsons on Tuesday was HILARIOUS! The first time i've laughed at a new episode in years. They've got alot of the old writers back now, just in time for the movie and it WILL be back...
Homer walks in on Selma and Grandpa kissing -
"AHH! There's a bear eating my dad!"
"It's me, Selma!"
"AHH! There's a talking bear eating my dad!!"
Hehe, was great.
Family Guy has blatantly taken the Simpsons and copied it, with the crassness of South Park. They know it and don't care, the Simpsons guys don't care either. Infact, in the episode where Homer clones himself, you'll see one of the clones is Peter Griffin.
South Park is the only one that's gotten better with age though. The others slightly declined (the Simpsons more so, but it will be back).
People shouldn't compare the 3... it's like comparing Heroes to Lost. They're sci-fi dramas with good budget and a slowly revealing on-going story line, but that's all they have in common.

i know i personally laugh more out loud to
1. Family Guy has me in tears just about all the time i watch it.
2. Simpsons i chuckle here and there and even break out in laughter.
3. South Park only find it funny on very rare ocassions.
thats the way i feel like the whole Kenny thing was stupid and Cartman is funny but only here and there.
Simpsons is fun for only one character and that Homer i laugh at him mostly and thats it and everyone else in the show isnt that funny.
Now when it comes to Family Guy i laugh at just about every character they have like Quagmire is great and Stewie aswell as Peter all very funny.
They have more characters that you can laugh at and are far more versed i think when it comes to mixing in shows and different movies.
If you dont find Family Guy funny but think South Park is funnier well its just a case of different sense of humours between the two.

What do you mean by decent......I would call decent people who have average records and several fights like 15 fights for 75% wins.....and if thats the case then yes we do.
If you mean decent by world champ status then yes we do....Vic...Rocky...Mundine.
If you mean decent by near miss then yes we do...like Sam Soliman and Danny Green...so the answer is Yes!
