Gets no respect from the media but clearly the best boxer around. Classy individual as well. A doctor who is an avid chess player and fluently speaks five languages (doesn't shy away from it, usually address various fans around the world after matches).

The media constantly goes on about how it's a weak generation of boxing but it was none other than Klitschko's older brother who scared Lennox Lewis into retirement.

The Klitschko brothers have said that they'll never fight each other but honestly that's the only way I see them getting any respect from the world media.

Wasn't a fight at all. I was truly pumped for this fight, Haye's trash talking was extraordinary, but he didn't back it up today. Everytime he caught Klitschko, he would back off instead of coming forward and continuing the punches.

And then the fuging flopping. Good fuging god man. I raged changed the channel so many times cuz I was so fed up with it.

After Stewart bitched the ref out, the diving took a nasty turn.

Haye was injured - he was very foolish in not postponing the fight.

As for Klitschko - he's a prime example of why the Heavyweight division sucks. He's boring and bang average. It's a super, super weak generation of heavyweights.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
