Joe Calzaghe is Welsh, Ricky Hatton is English. These are not the same thing.

    Probably the same with that fraud Clinton woods. From ehat I know of england, when he fights Tarver, most of his fans will be the english Yorkshire sheep shagging northern monkeys. I remeber the difference compared to Hatton when the Lennox Lewis fans came over, most were Londoners.

      Sorry mate, I forgot.

      Actually, if the guy meant that Monson took the title off him last time out, then I can agree with that. I just wanna know what the craic is.

        The whole planet and even most limies agree that Glen Johnson won the last fight. The homer decision was of sven Otke dimensions.

          So that IS why you're calling him a fraud then?

          See, I don't see that as Clinton's fault. I mean, he fought on basically even terms with Monson all fight, and even though he was stunned in the 9th, Monson gassed and was hanging on for the final two rounds. So I don't consider him a "fraud" in that he can trade on reasonable terms with Monson, and I don't consider him a "fraud" in that he wasn't the judges.

          I had the fight 115-113 Monson, but to compare to Ottke is OTT IMO.


          Oh, and to call it a "homer" decision is inaccurate, given that Monson was dragged over by Frank Warren as an opponent for Calzaghe on a Frank Warren showcase promotion.

          The judge who gave it to Monson was from the UK. Where did the two judges who said Clinton won came from? That's right, they were Fat Yanks. "Homer" decision.

            Here's the card, with the UK judge who gave it to Monson:

            judge: Mickey Vann 112-114 | judge: Roberto Ramirez 116-112 | judge: Ric Bays 115-112 ~

              OH Swizz please.....Look at the boys from Quebec!! They are obsessed with splitting from Canada, even though they would be economically ****ed in the process!! I really thought you of all people from North America would understand the cultural differences, Wales and Scotland were separate countries with their own languages (although Scot's Gaelic is pretty much dead). Day to day they mostly get on, but the moment sport is involved, more so team sports (football, Rugby) the identity thing comes out. If the Martians invaded Earth and challenged the England Rugby team to a match, that determined whether Earth would be destroyed, the Welsh would still cheer on the Martians....as any Welsh poster on this site will confirm!! lol

                Its nothing the same though, but England and Wales are two very different countries

                    Just one small thing in another great chunk of zero knowledge that members of this forum exude.


                    Tell me, have any of you dumb ****s even read a book in your lives? You know jack **** about any subject under the sun.
                    They're only separated by about 200 miles. so when people ask WTF's the difference, you got that.

                      Exactly. Countries are decided by geography alone, my learned friend.

                      You're typing the words of Jesus there - well done you.
