As I said in another thread, I'd like to see him humiliate Froch then I don't give a damn what he does afterwards.
COMBO BREAKER.

And apparently OCD is contagious. Whoda thunk it.
p.s. crack is whack.
Right now the SMW division is full of great fights even after the S6 is over...The division is stacked like never before not even when Eubank. Benn, Jones, Toney etc were there because most stayed for a short time those who did stay long had limited fights worthy of attention like ones todayQuote:

True.

No, it wouldn't, sadly. People aren't interested in 2 white guys duking it out. Remember Kessler-Calzaghe? It did nothing in the States.Quote:

Plus HBO is high on him because of his last two performances destroying Andrade and Miranda.
Thats because neither fighter had spent anytime here....Neither man had an over abundance of fights even shown here during their career...It was bad marketing not lack of caring if they were white...Quote:

I guess you forget about the interest two of boxings whitest guys in 25 years "Irish" Micky Ward and Arturo Gatti
He's fighting on Friday...his run to the top is surely imminent. :oQuote:

IMO Bute tastes one of Calzaghe's slaps then in return pummels him for a late TKOQuote:

This job biscuit stuff is insane! ;D
Stay retired Joe, nothing more to prove despite what the critics say.
Behave yourself, Bute would be lucky to beat Jermain TaylorQuote:

All those fights had rematches because of their quality.Quote:

I it all revolves aroudn Andre Ward. Kessler has been exposed, Abraham has been exposed, Froch and Dirrel. But If Ward wins the Super 6 (As I think he will) then a fight with a 40 year old Calzaghe would be interesting
You think Calzaghe would come back to be nutted to death by a Jesus freak? Not gonna happen. I don't think Ward is as good as certain people are saying he is anyway. He does have a really hard head though.Quote:

Even now I'm pretty confident he'd beat everyone in the super-six with the exception of Ward and maybe Dirrell and that's only because I still feel their untested. They both had good wins against Kessler and Abraham respectively but I don't doubt for one second that Joe would run rings around Abraham and he's already beaten Kessler, although not quite as convincingly as Wards head did.
The Kessler that fought Joe was a different Kessler. Though, I agree. Nobody has ever really been neck and neck in a fight with Joe for 6 rounds.Quote:

Other then a possible stamina issue what are Butes shortcomings?
Speed= Among the best in the sport
Chin= He has taken big time punches...Miranda landed a few monster shots Bute barely flinched
Power= He has some very impressive stoppages including some very very impressive 1 punch knockouts..
Defense= better then average....
@ Pride of Boston...It's difficult to tell if Kessler is a different fighter from when he fought Joe. He has no reason not to be the same fighter other than maybe psychologically that loss took a bit out of Kessler? Who knows?
@ICB...That fight with Reid really could have gone either way. It's one of those where you wouldn't begrudge the win for either guy. Joe got the decision and that was that. That for me was his closest fight. The only thing that annoyed me was no rematch. Joe's actually one of my favourite fighters and the one and only time I've even been to a live fight was in Cardiff for his win against Kessler but the one thing that annoyed me about Joe was not giving rematches, with the exception of Veit. The loser in the Calzaghe - Reid fight deserved a rematch. Reid was robbed against Ottke though. The ref was abysmal in that fight!

True... I guess it's more of an opinion than something that can be guaged. That's how I feel, though.Quote:
