Yea and it includes a virtual console which for a few dollars gives you access to every old Nintendo system and their games as well as Sega Genesis and possible Atari games.

The details are being worked out but for example you can download The LEgend of Zelda or the original Kid Icarus if you want to and play it right on the Wii.

I personally think Boxing is the BEST sport! In my youth I boxed for 3 1/2 years. Had 41 or 42 fights and lost twice. My last year I took the Wyoming State Boxing title for my age and weight. I've also wrestled and done some Judo. Played all kinds of team sports like football, baseball and basketball. But nothing was as exciting as Boxing. Just you and your skillset and strength againt a opponet. I loved it!! Heck still the best workout I ever got. To this day I still love to hit the heavy bag and speed bags and jump wrope. Try hitting a bag for 2 min straight and tell me if your arms dont feel like limp noodles.

To answer your question I don't think 7 pounds makes a great deal. If more than that I could see maybe being a bit slower or perhaps tiring faster. true if it were muscle you may be stronger, but your loosing a bit of speed. Pro's and con's either way. Unfortuanetly I no longer have cable and do not keep up on the fights now. But I like Winky Wright and Antonio Tarver right now. Great fighters. I don't have any heavy weights I watch right now though.

I'd like to see Mayweather fight Winky, good match up!

I never liked Tarver; I mean- as a boxer, I can understand being a little arrogant, but that guy is off the charts. He whipped Roy, twice, but admittedly, Roy isn't the fighter he used to be. When you have untold millions, (Like Roy does) I can understand how you may not be as hungry as you used to be. (Which is why college ball is better than pro; millionaires aren't as hungry as the college kid, with $35 that has to last him until his parent's payday).

Nevertheless, Bernard Hopkins (41) came up to light heavyweight, and whipped Tarver's (37) **** like he he (Tarver) owed him money... Both of those guys are pretty old for boxing, but both at the top of their games... Off season, Tarver weighs 200+, but Hopkins stays in shape, and around 160- he ulked up to 175 to fight Tarver...

Hopkins retired, walking out of the ring with the belt around his waist.

I've seen "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather, dispatch an opponent. It was liek watching Roy Jones fight again... Like watching a "hungry" Roy Jones fight... If you've never seen Roy fight in his prime, then you may have missed one of the greatest, and fastest... I like De La Hoya too, I loved it when he whipped Fernando Vargas' butt a few years back, when Vargas was talking all that smack. De La Hoya got robbed in that fight against Felix trinidad though; Oscar whipped his but for 10 of 12 rounds, and cruised the last two, and lost on a descision...

One night there is this new green kid in with a pretty talented amateur. So the new kid is getting hit with some nasty shots and is clearly out classed. The amateur could just let the kid know who is boss without unloading on him. But no. However, by God, the new kid takes his beating like a man.

Later in the week the amateur is sparring with pro that has about 60 pounds on him. The amateur is in deep trouble. He looks outside the ring and his eyes are wild, like an animal looking for a way out of a trap. I have rarely seen such panic. Then he gets worked into a corner and there is no way out and the pro bangs some brutal body shots on him and the amateur crumples onto the canvass.

This kind of stuff is always happening at boxing gyms.

Where can you buy such fun entertainment
