Boxing Highlights

Excuse me but what the hell is Morales thinking walking around at this weight:

For a guy who won titles at featherweight and super featherweight, its a shame. Another fighter suffering from Ricky Hatton/Riddick Bowe syndrome - ballooning between fights to the max. No wonder his body just wasn’t the same on his last fights against Pacquiao and on his only lightweight bout vs Diaz.

Do you believe he used to look like this in his featherweight years:

Yesterday at a press conference in Germany, David Haye showed us his unique sense of fashion by wearing a peculiar but funny t-shirt depicting the two Klitschko brothers decapitated and Haye on top of them:

Again, this adds up more hype to the upcoming Klitschko-Haye heavyweight match that we are all expecting this summer, and which I’m sure won’t disappoint.

Boxer Tyson Fury decides to give his opponent a head start:

I didn’t even know this happened at all, but apparently the great Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. attacked a reporter after his son’s fight against Argentine Luciano Cuello last weekend. The video is in spanish but let me explain to you guys what exactly happened:

The reporter approaches Chavez and asks him what he thought of the fight and how he felt about his son’s “suffering” inside the ring. Obviously when the reporter mentioned the word “suffering” he meant tough fight, but Chavez got it all wrong and got personally offended by the reporter’s question. This incident, added up with Chavez’s Mexican machismo erupted into a post fight skirmish as you will see from the following video.

Personally, this behavior doesn’t surprise me from Chavez. A somewhat similar incident happened years ago when Chavez lost to De La Hoya and a bad translation from his translator caused Chavez to get pissed off at Larry Merchant.

I’m on a roll with these Top 10 lists, but the following video which I saw today was just too awesome to not post. I bet you have already seen or listened to many of the following quotes, but it won’t hurt us to laugh once again at the unpredictable creature that is Mike Tyson:
