    $iN I don't care who you really are, but I know you know some **** about boxing. Just stick to the boxing part and leave this other **** out. It's not the greates fight in history, but it's one of the best fights in boxing this year with two undefeated champs.

    I didn't think DLH vs. Matweather was a pick 'em and neither did you. If you had thought so, you wouldn't have put all the people who picked DLH in your sig after the fight.

    Calzaghe-Kessler is not a pick 'em either. Kessler will likely be overwhelmed

      No one said it was the greatest fight in history, not even those calling this a superfight. But like I said in my initial post, I don't compare this fight to the true superfights of years past. It's just a good unification fight.

      DLH-Mayweather was certainly a pick'em fight with many favoring DLH because of his size and power. Calzaghe-Kessler is a fight between a fighter who has been a champion for 10 years with a modest resume against a fighter who holds two belts but has never really faced an elite fighter. It just does not compare to superfights of years past. Don't you agree?

        Cut the **** out Sin you have a agenda vs British fighters, yes we can say what there doing wrong and what they should be doing but we can do this to almost every fighter in boxing you just choose to do it vs British fighters to cause a reaction from people.

          Whether or not it compares to others in history is not the issue here. It is a superfight yes indeedy.
          2 unbeaten fighters. Someones gotta lose. Yes admit it Sin suprise us for once and vote that it is a superfight.

              Of course I agree it's not like Leonard/Duran I, Ali/Frazier I or even Tyson/Holy, but it's a damn good fight that every fan has to be thrilled about.

                Unless anyone can give me a definition of what a so called "SUPERFIGHT" actually is, and what makes a fight one of them, i will definately say this is a superfight.
                The 2 best in the division. Peopple will still try and say they dont know how good kessler is yet, but people have been clamouring about how good Kessler was for a quite a while now, to try to get Joe to fight Kessler. While Joe really wanted JT and Hopkins and co, people twisted Joes arm and said fighting Kessler would be more of a challenge for him.

                We cant make excuses now, weve dug our own grave. Weve sung Kesslers praises to get Joe to fight him. We cant say it aint a superfight now. People have said they will give Joe credit for beating Kessler. More than for when Joe beat Lacy which was a maybe not superfight but a massive fight at the time. If Joe v JT or Wright would have been a superfight then i dont see why Kessler v Joe isnt one?

                    It doesnt matter at all whether the fighters are popular. They are known as the best two fighters in their division, and both guys are undefeated. This is a superfight.

                      It's not brain science is it you would have thought?
