It'll be interesting. Mine is, as Auto and others know, Wladimir Klitschko current WBO Heavyweight champ. He is a monster standing 6'7. His brother Vitali is also a highly ranked heavyweight, but who is mostly helping his borther train now. He's #1 contender for Lennox Lewis. Current record is 39-1. From the Ukriane, he's 26 years old, but unlike most eastern european fighters, his movements are fluid and his footwork is great. His last opponent, Ron Mercer, has fought the likes of Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, and others. 1 man has ever knocked him down. That was Holyfield. Until the Klitshcko/Mercer fight. Right when the bell rang in the first he came after Mercer and nearly knocked him out with a left hook, none of the analysts knew that Wladimir even had a potent left hook. I've been watching this cat since the 96' Olympics, and I've got alot of money riding on him to beat Lewis. Please list your fav. boxer and why.

    yanksfan, although i did see ron mercer in the crowd at tonights fight i think you meant ray :-) .. the only knock i've heard on klitchsko is whether he is mentally tough or not..he does have a nice style though

    Mike Tyson, because he has the same last name as me and because he eats other people's children. imageimage

    kobe-Your right, all I remember in the fight was the guys last name. He's got what it takes. Trust me on that. He's a smart fighter, but he also uses his size to his advantage.

    Rock-I heard butterbean is/was gonna fight Larry Holmes, or some other old guy, is that true?

    Derrick-Tyson?!?!? He hasn't done to much eating of kids lately.

    Yes, that's my last name and that name (Tyson) is actually an English (UK) name, from which my ancestors had (of course), and I'm 100% white. image You knew that was my last name. image

    By the way, I wish I had his bank account...hehe...
