    Effectively Joe Calzaghe was the only great fighter we've had for the last 10 or so years. We had Lennox Lewis but his twilight was in the nineties.

    David Haye is a work in progress, depending on how the Klitschko fight pans out. The same goes for Amir Khan.

    We know how to go out.

                I made Lockett an overwhelming favourite based on his pre-fight game-face. Dude was mean, Pavlik only done so well because he was fighting for his life.

                And, If anybody didn't think Michael Jennings was going to comprehensively outclass Miguel Cotto, then they are liars. Jennings is clearly a better fighter.

                  Actually it was more to do with the fact that Tyson had been a total idiot with his cash he wouldn't have NEEDED to fight Williams. Tyson had no business in that ring.

                  Kelly KTFO against Hamed or Froch-Taylor, Haye-Barrett. Anyway we prefer dishing out long, sustained beatings ala Jones & Lacy against Calzaghe, Hatton against Mallinaggi

                    yea too bad beating monte barrett and malignaggi doesn't give you much credit in the boxing world cause those guys stink. remember the beating bika gave calzaghe? he can be an honorary american for the way he made calzaghe cower and hold on for dear life the entire fight.
