I wish Calzaghe would stop coming out with these quips.

This fight is not a PPV event. The Payoff would be for HBO to get more subscribers and viewers to watch it. They are simply trying to sell the fight.

Except Woods is actually boring.

Yup, well I did say it was a poor man's.

Ricky and Mayweather pulled it off a goodun in my opinion.

yeah, Ricky is very media savvy. He sold that more than Mayweather imo.

Courage is beating him in the first place in my opinion pal, and not chatting a load of bollocks until you've proven it.

Oh fine. whatever. Yer right. I hope they make a whole bunch of politically correct and non-offensive comments leading up to the fight and then rub it in if they win. That's a blast. That'll sell a bunch of tickets too.

And you know what... **** it... **** the 100 years of history behind selling a fight. Everyone be a gentleman before the fight and then when it's over and the other guy can't do anything about it... and no one is as interested... THAT"S WHEN YOU HIT HIM.

Just shut up.

Well said, to yourself.

This fight is the only fight in recent memory where both fighters are annoying the hell out of me. I know they are trying to sell the fight, but they went about it all wrong.

I wish there was a way both of them could lose on the same night.

B-HOP gets on my nerves all by himself. His fans are generally quiet though.

Calzaghe is not quite as annoying as B-Hop and most times seems to be a likable chap. It is his fans that irritate me the most with their over inflated view of him. This "all time great" stuff is utter crap and beating old timer Hopkins will not elevate him there. Hopkins las lost two of his last 4 fights, his aura is gone.

Well said, to yourself.

What a horrible retort. You just yourself.

[Nicky_Hatton]

I just don't think trash talking suits certain people and they should just shut it. It would be boring if neither of them Said anything before the fight. Joe is getting so bad, I'm expecting Your Momma jokes at any given moment.

And yeah Ricky Hatton endeared himself to the UK public even more in my opinion. Reeled the neutrals.

[Nicky_Hatton]

What a horrible retort. You just yourself.

Well it prompted you to use the Uber cool "owned" sign which somehow automatically makes you the winner in this verbal game of tennis.

Grow up.

I liked Calzaghe's line where he says "You lost to Taylor, how do you think you are gonna beat me"

That really pissed Hopkins off
