Klitschko Adamek Harrison Rahman Briggs Are all being talked to by Haye. Heavyweight Saviour? Do me a favour

Did they say it twice?

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer informed BoxingScene.com that he is working on Amir Khan's next fight, which he is hopeful will take place on July 31 in England. Two of the possible opponents for Khan's next defense of the WBA junior welterweight title - are former champions Joel Casamayor and Michael Katsidis. If Khan's fight comes together for that date, Schaefer said he would package that fight with the rematch between Juan Diaz and Juan Manuel Marquez that night at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Both would be televised as part of an HBO pay-per-view feed. "And the winners [of both bouts] might fight each other," Schaefer said to BoxingScene.com. Casa = Finished

The heavyweight champion of the world, Wladimir Klitschko, is not interested in Alexander Povetkin's request for both fighters to take part in random drug tests under the company WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency). Povetkin is Klitschko's official challenger under the International Boxing Federation (IBF). Negotiations are taking place for the two of them to fight due to Wladimir not being able to retain an agreement with WBA heavyweight champion David Haye. Unlike the situation between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., Klitschko has the full authority on the drug testing decision. The fight with Povetkin is ordered by the IBF and if he decides not to take the Klitschko fight, then Wladimir will move on to the next ranked contender in the IBF's top ten. Older brother Vitali Klitschko believes this is a tactic by Povetkin's team to avoid the fight. He says Wladimir will not accept these drug testing terms. "Wladimir has to fight Povetkin because of the IBF and he will take any tests under the rules of the World Boxing Federation. The tests are sent to an international sports laboratory in Cologne, which is one of the most modern in the world. If someone has any doubts, let them go send letters to [the lab] to investigate," Vitali was quoted telling Alexander Pavlov by Golzka. Tut tut. Poor form, Wlad

We're putting a couple of fish in the ceiling of the common room Out of date chicken breast>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Fish

**** Yeah! :|

I'm sorry to be quoting this but it does rather swim against the tide of normal Gabby posts. :winkold: I'll rape Milton for writing that **** book. Better?

Anyone got any ideas for some kind of last minute prank we can pull on Friday which will make us even bigger legends?

It's crazy, 7 years in the same place has bloody flown by, especially the last two of college. Wish I could do most of it again

I finish on the 15th 8) I'm **** shitting half of my English exam though. Dr. Faustus and Paradise Lost :evil: I'm good with Othello, but those two will be the death of me.

First we solve a murder, now this :!: 8)

He's quite clearly David Haye in disguise

No fight with Caballero? Shocker....

It's a female? I believe you know the correct procedure...

Less than two weeks ago at New York's Madison Square Garden, WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan dominated Paulie Malignaggi for eleven rounds before referee Steve Smoger stepped in to stop the fight. It was believed, at least by the media, that Malignaggi would walk away from the sport. In Malignaggi's last few fights, his movement was slowing down and he was more stationary than he had ever been in the past. BoxingScene.com spoke with Malignaggi's co-manager, Josh Dubin, who made it clear from the start of our conversation - "mark my words, you have not seen the last of Paulie Malignaggi. He is not going out on that note." Apparently, Malignaggi has been struggling to make weight for his last couple of fights. Dubin tells BoxingScene that Malignaggi has been forced to cut at least 20 to 25-pounds, which includes muscle mass, before his last couple of fights. Because of those struggles, Malignaggi is going to move up to the welterweight division. "He lost the fight….it happens. It wasn’t his night that night. It was amazing to me that the first thing everybody did was write him off; that he should retire. It’s utterly ridiculous. He had an off-night and I don’t think he can make that weight anymore. To take 20-25-pounds off, that amounts to muscle, isn't healthy," Dubin told BoxingScene.com. "He obviously didn’t have his legs that night His legs are his weapons. His legs are his offense. His legs are his defense. This is not to take anything away from Amir Khan. The kid is a sensational fighter. He was the better man that night and he deserves all of the credit in the world. Beyond that he is surrounded by good people and we wish him all the best." “Paulie is 29-years-old. If I thought there was any remote risk where he would exposing himself to injury by continuing to fight, I would personally make it my business to make sure he would never step in a ring again. As a precaution, he is going to check on his neck, which has been an ongoing problem. We are going to see a specialist this week. Let’s not lose sight of the fact, Paulie did not get knocked down in the fight and he did not lose consciousness.” When you sit there and think about Malignaggi's decision to move up, the most logical thought jumps up - the lack of power in Malignaggi's punches. Dubin believes Malignaggi will become a better puncher at welterweight. He says the public underestimates Malignaggi' s power because they focus on his record, which has tally of five knockouts in thirty-two professional fights. “I think a step up to welterweight is certainly in order. People say 'he got no power at 140, so how is he going to fight at welterweight?' His power will step up accordingly. Paulie is not as light a puncher as people make him out to be. Amir Khan did not walk out of that fight without welts on his face. I think that seven pounds is going to make huge difference. When he was getting down to the 150s, he was already losing his legs. This way he can make weight and won't have every ounce of energy sapped from him," Dubin said. One fight Malignaggi and his team plan to explore in the immediate future is an overseas scrap with Matthew Hatton, the younger brother of Ricky Hatton. If there is one fight that Malignaggi wants to avenge before he pulls the curtains on his boxing career, it would be the 2008 TKO loss to Ricky Hatton. That fight is probably never going to happen because Ricky is semi-retired and has no immediate plans to fight again. Ricky's brother would be a satisfying alternative. "This is something we've discussed amongst our team and with Lou [DiBella]. It’s something we certainly want to see where that goes. The next best thing to getting revenge on Ricky Hatton is getting revenge on his brother. Its something Paulie wants to do. He wants clear his name of the Hatton stigma. Paulie is big star over in the UK. He loves it over there and he loves the fans over there. I think it would be a great, great fight," Dubin said. Plans are currently being discussed for Malignaggi to make his welterweight debut in Italy. A local promoter has reached out to Malignaggi's promoter, Lou DiBella, to make the event possible. "I think he would take one interim-fight to get comfortable at 147. And we’re thinking about possibly doing that in Italy. Paulie has always wanted to fight in his hometown of Italy and there has been quite a bit of interest from the local promoter there who wants to work with Lou to make it happen. Lou has expressed interest in making it happen and we're working in that direction. It’s going to be sooner than later," Dubin said. After reading his Facebook yesterday, I'm not at all surprised to hear it. Didn't sound like a man who was ready to retire. I had mentioned that I'd heard a rumour about the weight issues a few weeks before the Khan fight (although as it says in the article, it's not an excuse for the loss as Khan fought very well)

Pretty much how a fair chunk of people feel about Milner

Not big and not clever Take some time on the naughty step son

James Milner reveals his thoughts about Man Cities bosses

If you like it, wear it. If you feel uncomfortable for whatever reason, then don't. Pink = Good imo.

Well Vitali is a proven steroid cheat anyway so this should come as no surprise....I'd be absolutely stunned if his brother wasn't juicing too - same goes for Haye come to think of it. Maybe they can give some to Arreola Et Al and stop them jiggling about in the ring. I'd guess Haye was the person whom Frank Warren was talking about in his column a few months back (the steroid rumour)

Cheesesteaks :notworthy:

Unless you're lying flat on your face as well, then it's not really looking up

Or £15 million straight

Things are looking up for once :D

Exactly. NO-ONE beats The Kingpin
