    Joe Calzaghe

    Felt he wanted to go out like Sven Ottke- fighting his countrymen.
    1.When he whooped Left Hook- I was impressed.
    2. Beating Kessler, is when I started to respect him
    3. The more Bhop started to win---since he lost to Cal, the more I appreciated Joe didn't beat a shell of Hop like he did RJJ. Joe outpointed a legend.

    Zab Judah- that ass whoopin' Cotto put on him & also the low blow Cotto did-showed Judah grew as a man, from a man-child. In his defeat to Miguel, I gained a (bit) of respect for Zab "mental-midget" Judah.

    Tim Bradley, he should have lost that prod fight on stoppage but the beating the guy took and his ability to come back and box prod off him was something to behold. I really like the guy now.

    i dont know how people really complain about what he did to ortiz. ortiz very blatantly rammed his head against floyd. you can understand in the heat of the moment you dont care if hes ready or not, once the ref says fight, you are going to hit him.

    I hated Marvin Hagler for years after he beat Tommy Hearns , but as time went on I realised what a great fighter he was .

    Ortiz didn't want to fight. He was clearly looking for a way out of the fight. He showed this by attempting to headbutt Floyd 3 times. Then, after opening a cut on Floyd's mouth from a headbutt, he hugged him, kissed him on the cheek and touched gloves twice. The ref then told both fighters to box and Ortiz wanted to hug Floyd again. Floyd obliged the hug and then promptly KO'd the pathetic cheating sack of shit.

    WHERE'S THE PROBLEM?

    I would like to add that Ortiz faked his KO he could have got up but wanted to get Floyd disqualified or just a cheap way out of the fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
