    You going to the fight tomorrow?
    Why are you not interested in the fight in Helsinki, TheManchine?

      Sometimes I am not interested in fights in chicago so maybe he's not interested in those two guys.

      Nothing wrong with that.

        Joe Calzaghe was past his prime when he defeated Jones and Hopkins, who were also past their best.

        Joe never was never knocked down in a fight until he was in his 30s, and never cut until he reached his mid-30s.

        Joe has proven himself to be better than Bernard and Roy, although TheManchine will never give Joe (or any other European fighter) credit.
        Hector Camacho was also past his prime when he fought a past prime Leonard which must mean he was better.

        The Kessler fight proved everything to me about Joe Calzaghe, everything else after was just extra, the money fights that Calzaghe had always wanted against the big names.

        The win over Hopkins was very good, although not overly impressive, his performance against Jones was impressive although it was not a great win by any means.

        The Roy Jones fight especially means very little when comparing how the three would've done against each other in their primes.

        I predicted the outcome of both fights correctly so it wasn't a surprise to me that he won.

        Why are you not intersted in the fight in Helsinki, TheManchine?
        The tickets are overpriced, it will be broadcasted free on television. I don't have any extra money to spare although I will surely travel if Asikainen ever lands a title shot, even if his chances of winning are hopeless.

          In World Boxing? Afraid not. I'm a big Calzaghe fan, but let's not get that carried away. He's a sure-shot Hall Of Famer though, and 'one of' the greatest fighters of all time.
          HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I take Lennox and Hatton in that order over that fake anytime! Jesus this guy needs to be KTFO... This is almost Cotto bad.

              We never get a fightcard as good as the one in Helsinki within a thousand miles of where I live.

              I'm stuck with two or three mediocre fightcards per year, headlined by people like Kevin Reynolds.

                  Hell no, ridiculous thread.

                  Amir Khan will be there in 15 years though.
