Wow - great fighter - great resume - unbelievable chin and he does what other fighters such as Calzaghe simply would not do -

Goes to hometowns of others to get the world title, defends it abroad - always takes his mandatory (I thought he might refuse this one but nope!) and has given groves a re match - again something although he would of got alot of stick for - he did not have to do.

I will defo be at wembly - cannot wait! And don't know yet who i'll be cheering for!
I used to hate him but he has won me over as a viewer. I think he's a bit of a crybaby but thats not really relevant. He brings it every time and will fight anyone.

Having said that, his diehard fans and him have to let go of the ghost of Joe Calzaghe. Its going to take a pretty special fighter off the island to even meet what he accomplished let alone surpass it.
You have to quit playing the same two cards when you feel the need to take a dig at him. Its always he should have traveled but never the whom he should have traveled for or he ducked some phantom guy that can never be named. Joe is an all time great. Carl isn't but he's still a great fighter
