    No disrepect mate.. but you CLEARLY have NO IDEA about that time period. That was a SHOCKING interpretation of boxrec records.

    Shocking.
    I misspoke on the McIntrye call. I edited that in, in the wrong place, see the Eubank and Reid comment at the bottom of my post.

    I didn't mention Keith Holmes.

    Sven Ottke, Robin Reid, and Eubank due to merit some praise. But, this is over a 7, repeat 7 year period. It may have been because of the lackluster competition in his division, but I mean come on, does that list impress you?

    School me then. Explain to me, in the context of his wins over accomplished, prime, legitimate challenges, why that list merits praise?
    You said Richie(ard) Woodall lost to a clubfighter. That clubfighter is Keith Holmes.

    Calzaghe never fought Sven Ottke.

    School you? I've never claimed Calzaghe beat great fighters through that time period.

    Look mate, i'm sure you know plenty about boxing, but you don't KNOW this time period. That is CLEAR.

    If you had originally said "Calzaghe fought bums" instead of "British bums" i wouldn't have even questioned you. I wanted to know who the "british bums" were.

    Calzaghe is clearly NEW to you. So i understand you would think his opposition is below par.
    I don't have any problem eating my words (a la "british bums"). Burnt pride is not my style. After researching his record, it appeared, Calzaghe fought subpar American and British competition.

    Why question me if you agreed with the principle behind what I was putting forth? You agreed in your last post that he didn't fight accomplished, prime, legitimate challenges. Then, who cares if they were British or American? Unless you are a complete dullard, which you may be, could you not see the point in the post?

    Your points didn't progress the discussion. I admit I was not a boxing fanatic in the late 90's. And it is very, very unfortunate. Trust me, I regret it completely. Do you feel vindicated now? Hopefully.

    I'm NOT trying to win anything or embarrass anyone. Sorry if that's how it seems.

    YES - i am a dullard. Fact. I've been over this same stupid fucking debate a billion times.

    You would have a better understanding of the calibre of fighter Calzaghe faced if you realised the supermiddle divison was very WEAK through that period - hence the lack of star fights.

    Fair enough. I have too. Usually, on the other side. . Maybe Calzaghe did fight everyone he could at 168 during that time period.
