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.
