Non-British perspective: Froch easier to like than was Calzaghe

[TitoFan]

Well, I definitely do not want to offend your family.... NOR the Shaolin temple, lest I get hit with a lightning bolt.

Regarding the difference between the title runs of Calzaghe and Hopkins, they're not that all much different, in that they're both mediocre (lack of quality opponents, in case you require an explanation). I don't defend Hopkins as much as I do criticize some things about Calzaghe. Neither fighter was all that much fun to watch, for me. Hopkins because he often resorted to dirty tactics and many of his fights ended in controversy.... and Calzaghe because his punches were not the type of punches I like to see thrown by professional boxers. And when he threw a flurry, it looked funny in slow-motion replay. I do maintain that Hopkins' list of opponents throughout his career is a level above that of Calzaghe's. Matter of opinion, mostly.

Now... about your being offended so easily:

This appears to be a psychological problem. I can help with that, as I have some non-official training in such matters. First thing you do is you pour yourself a good shot of Puerto Rican rum before you sit down to post on the forum. You don't just down it... you sip it, to enjoy the full-bodied warmth of the liquor. Then, you look out the window (providing you have one nearby) and concentrate on a peaceful scenery outside. Birds chirping would be a plus. You do some neck and finger stretching exercises... you do some controlled breathing... and you try to think of something positive to say about everyone in the forum. Matter of fact... a heartfelt "Good morning!!" would be an excellent choice. And beyond that is your choice. I can, however, recommend that you indulge in some of my wisdom (no need to thank me), to guide you through your posting experience.

If that doesn't work... find yourself a 10-dollar hooker and get yourself good and laid.
