    Not every fight is going to be a barn burner or blowout for anyone. There are fights where Calzaghe hasnt exactly looked stellar. Some guys just fight to the level of their competition. Anyway, it will all be settled eventually as its gotten to the point that niether man could afford not to face the other at this point without raising serious doubt about their commitment to take on the best.

    As to the # of times one sees a fighter, thats all upto their commitment. Kessler has only had 1 full fight on American TV (as far as I know), but alot of people who put any type of commitment into these boards usually have access to tapes or know how to get access to them.

    As far as my comment about Calzaghe's arrogance and it being a reason I don't care for him, its a perfectly valid reason not to like a guy. I am sure that is what turns alot of people off to the Judahs & Mayweathers (just 2 examples) of the world. There are people who dont like fighters for much more petty reasons.

              An alternative account; old members make new accounts to trick other members. Some do it just so they have 'someone' to talk to.

                I will say this board it an acquired taste. There is alot of bias, and extreme statements. I had to get used to threads being started with a single statement. Like "Such & Such is garbage" or "Such & Such is a great fight" or "Who do you think won _________ v __________" where nothing else was said just a statement like that.

                Believe it or not I am not dogging how you started your thread as it atleast stated a complete point that "alot of people who like Kessler like him because they dislike Calzaghe." I wish you hadnt just put it on "Americans" and the statement was somewhat condicending, which is another turnoff (probably what drug the trolls out to begin with).

                Anyway stick around and just go through things with your natural filter, you'll find out who on here makes valid points worth reading into (whether you agree or not) and who is just here to talk **** so that you can just scan over their posts on the off chance they typed something worth reading.

                      Is that right? So you give me the conditions you require to prove that I'm not an alt and you will remove yourself from the human race?

                      How about this for a compromise (as I dont necessarily want you to have to kill yourself). You name how you need me to prove that I'm not an alt and you get an IP ban and remove yourself from this forum?.
