    Sad to hear but sounds like he was outclassed. He won't get his Calzaghe fight now. This has been a crap start to the year for brits in big fights. Doesn't bode well for Joe. Here's hoping he can turn the tide.

    I think both Woods and Hatton have got exposed as the rather limited fighters they are in recent months.

    Tarver's post fight speech was hilarious, he makes me chuckle at least.

    Woods sounded like Peter Manfredo, with his 'thankyou for having me' losers speech. Very nice guy I've got nothing but respect for him but he showed like he said that he was just a skinny boy from Sheffield.

    Tarver meanwhile looked as good as I've seen him in years.
    Great performance he got it completely right.

    Right now to me he looks like the man to beat in the division.

    I agree that the number of brits holding World titles hasn't exactly flourished this year so far, and VD is loving it. Loving it like a big mac advert. Calzaghe and Haye will probably be vacating the titles in their respective divisions, leaving very few left:

    Joe Calzaghe
    Clinton Woods
    David Haye
    Enzo Maccarinelli
    Junior Witter
    Gavin Rees

    By the end of May, we could feasibly have NO world champions if Witter's beaten, and Joe and Haye vacate. Adieu the brief golden age.

    Don't worry Rhun I'm sure Enzo and Hatton will get their belts back. And Carl Froch and Amir Khan will be world champs by 2009

    Well if Joe wins then he'll have the most important title of them all and that's the Ring title and universal recognition as the 175 lb champ. I think Enzo will be able to have some success at cruiserweight without David Haye though I'm not sure how much. And of course, David Haye is going to make a lot of noise at heavyweight.
