My Top 5 Heavyweights for 2010

1. Evander Holyfield

The reason why I put Holyfield 1st on my list is because he won the heavyweight title for the record-breaking 5th time and he did it when he was 47 years old. That's actually a double achievement because not only did he win the title for the 5th time, but he also became the oldest boxer to win the heavyweight title.

2. David Haye

David Haye gained a lot of glory after defeating Valuev for the WBA Heavyweight Title. Winning a title is quite an achievement, but doing that versus a giant like Valuev is a whole different thing. I think Haye proved that he is worthy to be the new champion and I hope that he'll not duck any offers to fight one of the Klitchko brothers.

3. Wladimir Klitschko

Overall, I think that Wladimir puts more show on the ring than his older brother and that's what the audience search and want. They want, WE want to see action, knock outs and interesting fights. Generally I dislike both of the Klitschko brother, but I give Wladimir the 3rd place, because he is a better showman than his brother.

4. Vitali Klitschko

Vitali didn't do anything interesting during 2010. Yes, he defended his belt, but look at his opponents! He fought only 2 fights this year with opponents over 30 years old. These boxers were way out of their prime and old Shannon Briggs looked old, funny and not worthy to fight for the belt.

5. ??? ???

To be honest I really don't know who deserves to be 5th... 2010 was a very poor year in boxing, no interesting heavyweight title fights, no major matches, nothing! It was just an year I'd like to forget.

Best Boxing Documentaries - "Tyson" (2009)

"TYSON" (2009)

"Tyson" is my favourite documentary ever, not only because 'Iron' Mike has one of the most tragic yet interesting fates of all boxers, but also the movie is directed just perfectly! James Toback is an absolute genius! I remeber watching it during summer vacation and it was 10:30 pm. I got so excited from the brilliant editing of the first 2 minutes that I didn't even blink until the end of the movie! I watched the movie 3 times that night! I was just sitting there in front of the monitor thinking: "Lol... that's gotta be the best movie I've ever seen!" with my mouth wide open.

The Movie takes you through Mike's life - pictures, videos, interviews, matches... everything! Mike is talking in the background explaining his ambitions, dreams, goals, marriage, problems, troubled childhood, his spiritual relationship with Cus D'Amato, Don King's dirty tricks and more and more!

One Part of the film I'll never forget is the beginning where there are highlights from the Tyson - Berbick WBC belt title fight. In the background is the voice of my favourite commentator Bob Sheridan and some great music that's just pumping you up as you see how young 'Iron' Mike Tyson is just unstoppable!

I don't think there is another boxing documentary movie from which you can learn so much! If you're a Tyson fan like me and you haven't watched it - do it! Best movie ever. Period.

Best Boxing Documentaries - "When We Were Kings"

When We Were Kings (1996)

"When We Were Kings" is perhaps the best known boxing documentary film. The movie even won the Academy Award. When I first thought of the idea to create a whole documentary based on only one fight, I didn't take it seriously and to be honest I wasn't expecting much. However, now I know for sure - I was wrong!

The Plot is about probably the most famous fight of Muhammad Ali - "Rumble in the Jungle", 1974, Kinshasa, Zaire. 32-year old Muhammad Ali was not the favourite in this match. In the opposite corner was the 25-year old George Foreman, who had knockout power in both hands. The movie describes the atmosphere before, during and after the fight with a lot of interviews and interesting stuff in-between. The whole movie is directed brilliantly and for a boxing fan watching it is a must!

Mike Tyson - The World will be mine again [Part 2]

Mike Tyson

The World will be mine again

The Sequel

Next in line would be Bruce Seldon - 'The Atlantic City Express'. The commentators described both men as "a very relaxed Bruce Seldon and a very serious looking Mike Tyson". Mike was going straight to business. Seldon tried to hold Tyson back with the trademark left jab, but Mike was prepared and dodged every single jab, that Bruce threw.

With about a 1:40 remaining in round 1 Bruce Seldon went down from a punch high on his forehead. About 10 seconds later down he went for the second time - this time from a left hook. 1:49 seconds and the Heavyweight Title went back into Tyson's hands. Mike continued his quest to unify the HW Titles again.
