They have good boxing... that is all that matters...

Showtime is making a good showing too, but HBO is still the boxing network.

always gotta have HBO. i've gone without Showtime for a while, but never drop HBO. the boxing, concerts, Dennis Miller...plus the stuff they don't run anymore, like Dream On and Larry Sanders...the Starz/Encore networks are shit, the sound is always crappy, and Showtime only does boxing, no concerts or comedy specials.

plus the Sopranos comes back on the 15th of September...

Three of my favorite shows are "Sex In the City", "The Sopranos", and "Six Feet Under" so have to disagree.

Besides isn't Taxicab Confessions just a bunch of fake stories they use as an excuse to show people boff2 so people can jerkoff?

De La Hoya should win the fight on boxing ability. De La Hoya is a master boxer and a good puncher... Vargas is not a great boxer but he is a good puncher and has a lot of heart. Vargas took a hell of a knockout against Trinidad while De La Hoya actually beat him but was too cautious and lost a controversial decision. De La Hoya was able to keep Trinidad away and was able to out box him, although he turned it into a track meet for the last four or five rounds trying to coast on his clear early lead... it backfired, as he WOULD have been the first man to beat Trinidad. Bernard Hopkins went ahead and had to knock Trinidad out later though. By the way, neither DLH or Vargas want ANY part of Hopkins.

Fernando Vargas has fought his whole career at Light Middleweight, so his power is natural at this weight, while De La Hoya's power might not be as great due to his moving up five weight divisions.

Oscar De La Hoya has been a World Champion in the following divisions:

Super Featherweight
Lightweight
Light Welterweight
Welterweight
Light Middleweight

An interesting fight and one that I am anxiously awaiting.

I pick DLH by U.D.

I agree.Hamed at best was awkward fighter with power.He relied on people running in and he would catch them with that jumping uppercut/hook.A true champion would beat him every time.

The boxingat around the "middle weight" categories always seems to be the best and most hotly contested imho.

Really, from Light Heavy down it's pretty good.

The only shows that I even remotely like on HBO are Def Poetry and Real Sex (which can be hilarious at times).

Boxing is so confuse ing. Especially when Don King is involved.

You see the guy beating the hell out of the other boxer, better punches, more movement. And what do they do they give the bout to the worst of the two.

But I do like De La Hoya!

As far as HBO, I like to watch OZ, and taxicab confessions when I do watch TV. But I very seldom watch tv.
