      Dude, did you realized how corny this Aqacknis Chickenson name is what you use all the time? I don't want to be a party breaker but someone has to say it.

          He's not "my boy".

          It's dethrone not "dethrown".

            In his first fight in the weight division, Joe Calzaghe went to the USA and took the Ring light heavyweight title from Bernard Hopkins.

                  Salido vs Lopez.


                  Great fight that lived up to the expectations, maybe even exceeded them.

                      LOL yeah!

                      How about Geale beating two Germans in Germany? That was damn impressive, especially considering Sturm had escaped in his home with two very dodgy decisions.

                      Let's not forget Johnny Nelson, a real up and down start to his career and at one stage he seemed nothing more than a journeyman. Then he won his world title, yes at home but a number of his defences came against european opponents in their home countries.
