ISINT THAT THE PURPOSE OF A FORUM?

i dont want to see you thrown off the forum....i dont think ive expressed that desire anywhere. ::**

calzaghe hasnt travelled beyond home too often. this is a fact. but then again if the money is fine back home, then why bother? he's managed to fight the best in the division without travelling. if he can do it, then why not? calzaghe has had injuries mainly concerning the hands. again this is a fact. i see nothing mysterious in this. injuries do occur.

calzaghe has stayed in the same division. but then again didnt b hop do the same? it doesnt belittle his reign in any way. in fact the super middleweight division is looking in pretty decent fettle at the moment and calzaghe is at the top of it....

calzaghe is a pretty decent champion in my humble opinion....

The difference is guys like RJJ didnt have to leave the country the competion and the money was right there There are Some tuff sob's in the UK but here in the US is the majority of the competition.........in Todays matchup calzaghe would get beat by RJJ BHop Tarver,Johnson,Taylor,Wright with winky and Jermaine moving up in weight

The compition??? for the majority of his career he faught no one, how can it be one rule for the USA and another for the rest of the world??

Calzaghe gets paid very well to fight in the UK, thats why Lacy went over there becasue his biggest purse previous was $150,000 for the Calzaghe fight he was paid over a million $, also Hopkins was offered more money to fight Calzaghe than he had ever made at the time of the negotiations, the reason Calzaghe did not travel is purely financial reason, now he can make the money he will glady travel what was Hopkins excuse not to fight Calzaghe in the uk???

So go put a sock in it you talk to much rubbish.

again, you are welcome to your opinions, but to be honest I seem to disagree with most of them....

Hey cool your jets bro if you are the end all be all in boxing statistics and opinion I didnt get the memo!!!!! I just listed a laundry list of US Fighters around his weight class do me a favor and list ANY UK fighter in or around those weights that could come close to winning against those guys!!!!!! Lets focus on the competition do you watch the fights cause you go to the bank with the winner and cash his check is that why you root???? or is it the competitition so please lose the holier than thou attitude
