Greetings cool cat's... sorry it's been so long since i've last posted. alot has happened since the captains last post.
Let's go through some of my predictions.
I'd predicted Kelly Pavlik to ko Jermain Taylor and my pick was right on the money in a fight that i think will get the nod for fight of the year.
I'd predicted Joe Calzaghe to defeat Mikkel Kessler in an exciting fight that would go the distance... again right on the money.
I had originally predicted Miguel Cotto to defeat Shane Mosely by a narrow margin. Night of the fight I changed my pick to Mosely by decision. I should've went with my original pick because Cotto got the nod in a very close fight.
All in all it's been a great fall for boxing.... and we still have Hatton Maywether to look foward too... i think Floyd is gonna take this one but it's really hard for me to decide and when it comes time to bet i'm gonna put at least a few bucks on ricky.

Oscar Gay La Hoya
Captain Cool could give a shit what Oscar is into outside the ring.... but for the love of god Oscar... don't let it be photographed.... that being said i thought Oscar should've won a close decision against Floyd. Until next time... take it easy cool cats... cause only bitches take it hard.

CAPTAIN COOLS TOP TEN POUND FOR POUND LIST...
THE COOL CATS ASKED FOR IT THE COOL CATS GET IT... HERE GOES.
#1 FLOYD MAYWETHER JR.: LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM HE'S THE MOST TALENTED FIGHTER IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW UNTIL SOMEONE PROVES OTHERWISE... I DON'T THINK THAT SOMEONE IS GONNA BE RICKY HATTON... BUT WE WILL SEE IN DECEMBER.
#2 MANNY PACQUIO: IN MY OPINION MOST EXCITING FIGHTER IN THE GAME TODAY... FIGHTS THE BEST AND WINS IN EXCITING FASHION.... ALWAYS MOVING FOWARD ALWAYS THROWING HARD PUNCHES... NEXT UP FOR MANNY IS THE RUBBER MATCH BETWEEN HE AND MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA... A GREAT FIGHTER BUT ONE WHO'S BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND HIM... PAC MAN WINS BY KO IN THE MIDDLE ROUNDS.
#3 BERNARD HOPKINS: FRESH OFF HIS WIN OVER WINKY WRIGHT THE OLD MAN LOOKS NEARLY UNBEATABLE AT LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT.... THE ONLY REAL TEST OUT THERE FOR HIM WOULD BE JOE CALZAGE IF JOE IS ABLE TO GET PAST HIS UPCOMING FIGHT WITH MIKKEL KESSLER AND THAT IS A BIG IF.... THE FLIP SIDE OF THE COIN IS THAT BERNARD IS 46 YEARS OLD AND EVENTUALLY HE'S GONNA SHOW HIS AGE IN A FIGHT... BUT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS.... BERNARD HAS A SECURE SPOT ON MY POUND FOR POUND LIST.
#4 JOE CALZAGE: UNDEFEATED IN FORTY PLUS FIGHTS.... DOMINATED JEFF LACY... NOT MUCH TO CRITICIZE THE WILEY WELSHMAN ABOUT EXCEPT THAT WE DON'T SEE HIM FIGHT ENOUGH AND HIS RELUCTANCE TO FIGHT OUTSIDE OF WALES. HIS UPCOMING FIGHT AGAINST UNDEFEATED HARD HITTING MIKKEL KESSLER WILL BE HIS BIGGEST TEST YET AND IF HE'S ABLE TO MAKE KESSLER LOOK LIKE AN AMATUER THE WAY HE DID TO JEFF LACY HE MOVES UP AT LEAST A SPOT ON CAPTAIN COOLS LIST.
#5 JERMAIN TAYLOR: I'VE NEVER BEEN IMPRESSED BY THE GUY BUT HE IS THE UNDEFEATED MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION AND DOES HOLD TWO WINS OVER BERNARD HOPKINS.... ALTHOUGH THEY WERE NOT DECISIVE WINS AND MANY EXPERTS... CAPTAIN COOL INCLUDED... FEEL THAT BERNARD SHOULD'VE GOTTEN THE NOD.... THAT BEING SAID... I DO GIVE CREDIT TO TAYLOR FOR FIGHTING TOP NOTCH COMPETION ON A REGULAR BASIS. NEXT UP FOR HIM IS YOUNGSTOWN OHIO'S KELLY PAVLIK.... IF TAYLOR CAN WIN... AND DO SO IN IMPRESSIVE FASHION RATHER THEN EEKING OUT A SPLIT DECISION VICTORY AS IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH JERMAIN THEN HE MEY ALSO MOVE UP A SPOT OR TWO ON MY LIST.
#6 MIGUEL COTTO: JUST A YEAR AGO COTTO WAS BEING CRITICIZED FOR BEING MOVED ALONG TOO SLOWLY.... BUT NOW AT 30 WINS NO LOSSES... AND COMING OFF IMPRESSIVE WINS OVER PAULIE MALINAGGI AND ZAB JUDAH... THERE IS NO DENYING THAT MIGUEL IS THE REAL DEAL.... THE ONE QUESTION ABOUT HIM HAS BEEN HIS CHIN BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS UNFAIR CONSIDERING THE MAN HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE CANVAS AND ATE SOME OF ZAB JUDAHS BEST SHOTS.... IF HE KEEPS PROGRESSING AT THE RATE HE HAS BEEN HE MAY BE THE MAN WITH THE BEST STYLE AND CHANCE TO HAND PRETTY BOY FLOYD HIS FIRST DEFEAT... BUT FIRST HE MUST GET PAST HIS BIGGEST TEST YET.... SUGAR SHANE MOSELY.... AND THAT IS NO EASY TASK.
#7 SHANE MOSELY: WRITTEN OFF AS OVER THE HILL TWO YEARS AGO SHANE HAS COMPLETELY RESURECTED HIS CAREER AND AGAINST FERNANDO VARGAS SHANE LOOKED AS SHARP AS EVER..... UP NEXT IS MIGUEL COTTO IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN A FIGHT THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREDICT AN OUTCOME... BUT I DO PREDICT THIS.... THE WINNER OF THIS FIGHT WILL FACE FLOYD MAYWETHER PROVIDING FLOYD GETS PAST RICKY HATTON AND DOESN'T PRETEND TO RETIRE AGAIN AFTERWARDS.... MOSELY IS DEFINATLY THE ONLY ACTIVE FIGHTER WITH HANDSPEED EVEN CLOSE TO FLOYDS SO A MOSELY MAYWETHER FIGHT WOULD BE AN INTRIGUING ONE.
#8 ISREAL VASQUEZ: I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH VASQUEZ TKO WIN OVER JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ TWO WEEKS AGO IN A FIGHT THAT IS AN EARLY CONTENDER FOR CAPTAIN COOLS FIGHT OF THE YEAR. WHAT VASQUEZ LACKS IN SKILL HE MAKES UP FOR WITH SHEER DETERMINATION.... ISREAL DIDN'T SEEM TO NOTICE THAT HE HAD A HUGE GASH OVER EACH EYE AND CONTINUED TO MOVE FOWARD AND POUND THE GAME MARGUEZ INTO SUBMISSION. EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE IS THE FACT THAT HE HAD LOST TO MARQUEZ LESS THEN A YEAR EARLIER IN AN EQUALLY EXCITING FIGHT.... THESE TWO HAVE TO FIGHT ONE MORE TIME AND CAPTAIN COOL CAN NOT WAIT.
#9 RICKY HATTON: THE MAN IS UNDEFEATED IN 44 FIGHTS AND IS COMING OFF AN IMPRESSIVE VICTORY OVER JOSE LOUIS CASTILLO.... THE ONE FIGHTER TO COME THE CLOSEST TO DEFEATING FLOYD MAYWETHER JR.... THAT BEING SAID... HE IS MOVING UP TO 147 POUNDS TO FACE MAYWETHER IN DECEMBER AND IN HIS ONLY OTHER FIGHT AT THIS WEIGHT... HE WAS NOT AT HIS BEST.... HIS LEAN ALL OVER YOU SMOTHER YOU STYLE WAS NOT AS EFFECTIVE AGAINST A BIGGER MAN.... COME DEC. 5TH RICKY HATTON MAY NOT ONLY BE KNOCKED OUT.... BUT ALSO KNOCKED OFF OF CAPTAIN COOLS POUND FOR POUND LIST.
#10 WLADAMIR KLITSCKO: WLAD IS THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORST BUT MOST GLAMOUROUS DIVISION IN BOXING.... THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION IS SO PATHETIC I WAS RELUCTANT TO EVEN PUT A HEAVYWIEIGHT ON MY LIST. IT'S JUST HARD TO JUSTIFY NOT HAVING THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD NOT ON MY POUND FOR POUND LIST.... BUT WHAT WLAD REALLY NEEDS TO DO... FOR THE SAKE OF HIS DIVISION AND HIS LEGACY... IS TO UNIFY ALL THE TITLES.
#1 FLOYD MAYWETHER JR.: LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM HE'S THE MOST TALENTED FIGHTER IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW UNTIL SOMEONE PROVES OTHERWISE... I DON'T THINK THAT SOMEONE IS GONNA BE RICKY HATTON... BUT WE WILL SEE IN DECEMBER.
