Anthony Mundine: "Joe Calzaghe Has No Balls"

[eazy_mas]

its not weird at all, the similarities are numerous.

1 - receive gift points decisions

2- no power

3 - fight defensively (run)

4 - dont travel out of their own country (at least ottke did once)

5 - both have been booed by crowds out of an arena.

6 - unbeaten (in a sense that their records show a zero)

7 - boring as hell

Well at least Sven didn`t have a big mouth or beat up his girlfriend.

What about Corrales? Castillo? Gatti? Oscar? could name you more but it but it will fill the thread.

As for the country travel why does he when the Mecca of boxing is in Las Vegas.

power, They guy when 4 to 5 classess up from where he started.

discision, Castillo could back up the 2nd time and it all what the judges see that matters. As well as many of the shot came on the shoulder.

Compare Mayweather weightclass with other fighter at Lighweight and Super Featherweight most of them are still in the same weightclass while Mayweather reached Super Welterweight.

I suddenly don't like the way Mundine in generally talks, and i don't like Calzaghe who always talks down on they other fighters - but hell they are bout great fighters!!!. When Mundine in only his 10 fight took all the way around the world to take on the undefeated Ottke, Mundine deserved RESPECT. I'm no fan of Ottke, but the most fans and fighters who laughs when the Ottke name is mention, are the same who never took him on!!. We the boxing fans wanted the Calzaghe - Kessler fight. Kessler wanted the fight for years. Calzaghe and his fans for years and up and inside the last month told every body, why Kessler wasn't worthy the fight. Now it suddenly chance, and every body cant wait for the fight #1 against #2. The fight only came on, because Kessler is willing to go to Wales in front of 60-70000 spectators - in his quest to be the best in the division. Anyway the outcome of this fight - If the boxing fan in generally don't give (in this case) Kessler the RESPECT, real fights against the best will be dead forever. Who finds that amusing????

It had to be in Britain. Palle didn't have the funds, he was bluffing.

70 year old Palle's only bluff was like in a game of poker forcing Warren to make the biggest offer so they get more money because he knows Warren wants more than anything else in this fight home ground , you see Kessler always said he would fight Joe in his own backyard and was the reason the fight even happened Kessler chased Joe not the other way around , Palle wanted the most money he could get and played a master game to get it , you brainwashed Brits make me laugh .

Any of you ever read Cals resume , we went over it early in this thread , but the guys saying how good Joe was and how he a resume of in prime fighters kinda ran off , not logged off , ran off .

only Americans believe that.

[eazy_mas]

only Americans believe that.

well Hatton said it, Duran fought on it and many other big fighting even happen there.

It more of a neautral thing but if you say Mayweather fought many fight in his state thing you could make abit of a debate.

anyway have you seen the Gatti fight? or the forum few month ago how many people hate on Mayweather so it doesnt matter for him that much.

[RodBarker]

Exactly , Hattons own words , " Vegas is the capitol of world boxing "

For history and tradition I believe there is something very special about Madison Square Garden
