i have no truck with the people that rate calz as thier no1, i myself however rate him about third or fourth just now, i do feel warren has held him back and as such i feel joe now has'nt the time to prove the doubters over.
i too think he is very over rated, people yawn on about the would be atgs he has beat, tito oscar and such, these wins are worthless imo as hopkins is a natural light heavy, and this sort of size advantage cannot be viewed favourable.
Now the ppl that put hopkins away ahead of calzaghe and favour him in a fight between the two, cant in the right frame of mind not see calzaghe destroying tito and oscar, in fact calzaghe would get major stick if he had even tried to fight them, these would be classed as joke fights, yet ppl wax lyrical about hopkins wins over them. not impressed tbh.
As for hopkins being classed the light heavy champ, this is even more funny, since taking the title from tarver he has only fought a former light middle. This to me proves the ring belt to be a joke, yet some still class him the lhw champ.:nonono:
If calzaghe and hopkins do fight and hopkins bests him, i will give him his due, untill then i cant see a fighter who's best wins are over great fighters from lower divisions ( tarver excluded )
These ppl now saying kessler is an average boxer are taking the piss tbh, kessler was a fantastic win for calzaghe . As it stands just now bar calzaghe i could see kessler beating anyone at 168/175 even chad!
I'm also of the opinion at this stage in their career's, kessler would deal with hopkins.
As for Hopkins " kessler who ? who's kessler ? " statement.
Dont make me laugh.
Amir looked fantastic as an amateur, i thought he was going to do well in the pros. However all the potential means nothing when you have a chin like khans.
He seriously looks like he needs to move up a weight, fighting at a weight that will be more natural for him, but he will still face the same problem only greater.
December the 6th, Oisin Fagan. If he gets rocked in this fight he needs to think about doing something else. The way prescott knocked him out isn't going to do his long term future any good if any more knockouts like that happen.
He's a hero to the young muslim population in the UK, anything bad said against him and you are automatically branded a hater or a racist, you have probably seen these words bandied about her already by certain posters on this board, they defend him to exasperating levels. however a young man like him doesn't need knocked out like that too many more times, nobodys going to support a vegetable.
Its fine saying he was fasting due to ramadan. Why take a fight on a date he knew was going to be fasting though?
He is a quick accurate boxer, has his own power too, but willie and gomez laid the blueprint for any future opponent of amir. Any future opponent with slight power has the ability to put him on queer street, anyone with considerable power has the ability to comatose him.
Even if amir changes his style to that of a real defensive boxer, which i feel he now has too, the further he goes, the harder his competition gets, they wont be willies and gomez's hes facing! he's going to get tagged again.
Nothing against the lad, got a bit arrogant for a while but all boxers need confidence, he no doubt has a lot of hangers on too.
I really hope froch is what his fans want him to be. I have seen most of his fights, he appears to have good power and a good chin. i really want another good SMW from the UK, however his level of competition hasn't shown us enough to really determine how good or bad he can be, having said that, go the cobra!
Ray von, typical khan fan.
Everyone is a hater or racist who doesn't believe in the young bolton muslim.
I'd put money down that Ray is a muslim, whenever you dont agree with a point he makes, concerning khan, you are either a racist or the classic HATER!
Are you a muslim ray?
i couldn't give a monkeys for the reasons that hatton wont give witter a shot.
i as a boxing fan just want to see the fight, i believe hatton would win and this fight would be popular in britain, grudge fights always are!
all to often politics and behind the scene bickering, as well as flagrant cherry picking are the reasons we the public miss out on fights we all wont to see.
Alas we things wont change soon i imagine.
