    Good answer, i'm not a hater. Just never really found them that inspiring. I do like some of their tunes but in my personal opinion they will never be on a level with the pumpkins.

      And the notion that we'd think highly of Mikkel Kessler is too hilarious for words. For beating Markus Beyer? Come on, do you really believe that? ****, we barely showed respect to Jermain Taylor!
      Were Kessler American you would crow in triumphalist glee as he cleaned out SMW conquering euro bum after euro bum and claim he was robbed/ injured against Calzaghe.

      This is fact.

        Joe Blow! Maybe if he blew me I'd like him. I don't get down like that though... Or go down for that matter. (pun intended of course.)

          Umm..what drug are you on?

          If Kessler was American he wouldn't fight a Markus Beyer because chumps like Beyer wouldn't come to the US to SAVE THEIR LIFE. GTFOH.

          So Kessler would be forced to fight a LHW like, Glen Johnson! Or another American LHW!

            If guys like Calzaghe, Kessler and Abraham were American, there would not be enough lube left in all 50 States.

            Please stop saying they are 'unproven', 'bums' or whatever else it is you say. You are talking crap.
            If guys like Calzaghe, Kessler and Abraham were American, they would be considered the biggest bums on earth by you Brits.

            Please stop saying that they are 'proven', 'great' or whatever else it is you say. You are talking crap.

              Indeed...and would now probably enjoy undisputed P4P #1 status for being a) good looking and b) able to beat up overrated old men. He's ahead of Dawson's timeline, remember. He'd have beaten them all by now.

                I agree, them selling out only holds them back. Once everyone caught onto them it wasn't cool anymore

                I'm from a few towns away from them so I remember listening to them on local college radio (WSOU, Seton Hall Rock) but now some of their songs are just awful.

                Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band of all-time.

                  If Lennox Lewis was Canadian, you wouldn't be such a ****.

                    Yeah, Dawson has Glen Johnson on his dossier. Oh and he took the title from Tomas Adamek. And fighting Antonio Tarver next.

                    Please call me when Kessler beats anyone close.

                    Thanks.

                    Sincerely,

                    A man who lives far away from Joe Calzaghe's scrotum.

                      I would insult you, but instead I'll just remind you that you have no sense of humour.
