2 fights in a 46 fight career and yet again Kessler in Wales and Lacy in Manchester....such bravery from Calzaghe! Gee you REALLY changed my mind


I wish more Americans would travel and defend their WORLD titles. Deontay Wilder is a good example, and yet Kirkland I didn't mention him as he's not claiming to be "The greatest heavyweight ever!" he's pretty much a novice a Michael Grant part 2 to this point. I DID mention Floyd Mayweather Jr. how anyone could consider him among the greatest fighters of all time is beyond me. I should have also mentioned Andre Ward as well as he never leaves California and rarely leaves the Oakland San Jose area, but you did that for me.....thanks for the help.
