Only problem is your talking as a Calzaghe fan. A lot of neutrals & even people who were backing Joe like me felt that Hopkins won that night. Also I think Rocky Balboa (it feels too weird writin that) was referring to the fact that certain Calzaghe fans on here are making Joe's record a lot better than what it has been, for God's sake I've seen people on this thread (& in arse-licking articles) claim he's greater than Sugar Ray Robinson, which IMO should be a suspension offence on Saddo

I'm not convinced that there's anyone on here that can put a fighter's name forward who didn't have any contoversial or close decisions in their career. Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, even the much touted Ricardo Lopes I'm sure will have had one or two close run things.

Fact is, no fighter will have had every fight go his way, there's always an opponent who finds the key and makes it difficult for any fighter.

And as for the ban issue....I've spammed Saddo's inbox more times than you could know asking for anyone using the word 'fanboy' to be given the boot. No dice on that front either...but I'll keep ya'll posted!

I wasn't suggesting he was the only fighter to have a close-run thing, just that Drago implied Hopkins KNEW he couldn't beat Calzaghe, which is surprising as many felt he did.

Don't know if the fanboy comment is aimed at me, but I haven't used that, so can't see it being relevant to me. Also I was obviously completely serious about banning people

Glad that people read my 'humour' so well

No the fanboy comment wasn't aimed at you youngster...just one of my bugbears. I also apologise for replying to your humour with some of my own, I just felt that the smiley was a bit dull. I will attempt in future to accompany all such posts with a:

This is Humour. Please do not take this seriously as it is not meant in such a manner, don't say you haven't been warned. If you think this isn't funny, I apologise. Try the fish, I'll be here all week

Lol, yeah I did much better with that sign there, maybe the disclaimer isn't quite clear enough though

Whats wrong with calling someone a fanboy if they clearly are?
Am I gonna get banned for stating the obvious?

Awwww, shush bro, i was joking. I just think the word fanboy is purposely derogatory, and is used when somebody wants to discredit someone else's argument instead of putting forward a proper well expressed counter. And it's often the trigger that leads to more personal name-calling etc, cause it's a term that encompasses a number of negative aspects.

Just my own personal view, and in no way a reflection on anybody else's or the site's views.

For example, Taeth is a fanboy of ignorance.
