Mister REED. You recently said that if Joe beat Hopkins you would have him as 1.b in your P4P top ten. Do you still stick by this? I ask...
I agree with the others, but this one seems quite a close one to call, Attraction. How come you are so sure...?
Yup indeedy...:bears:
Calzaghe fights better against guys who bring the fight forward to him. Generally, he has faster hands than these guys and as a result his shots...
I actually think there is some merit in that. Honestly, even a Calzaghe nuthugger like I am can see that Joe is very slowly beginning to decline....
I've sort of mellowed a little after re-watching the fight yesterday. I was also pretty critical of Joe after first watching the fight on...
IMO, Kelly Pavlik is a stylistic dream come true for Joe Calzaghe. Pavlik is an excellent, 'come forward' fighter who relies on superior power...
Agreed with MWS that Kessler was Joe's defining fight. An elite guy at the top of his game, beaten comprehensively. IMO, the ONLY fight Joe...
He is a complete unknown (beyond the boxing fraternity) thus far, though I imagine that will change when the Olympics come around. Successful UK...
Here's what I don't understand. There are people here, people who actually know and understand boxing, who appear to have forgotten or choose...
Hatton is a country MILE more popular and more recognisable in this country. Most UK boxing fans appreciate that Joe is the better of the two,...
Even though Cortez has slipped a little, his performance was pretty much as I expected it to be during the Hatton-PBF fight. He let both guys get...
Taken like a man brother Dsimon, and your sig will follow tomorrow, when MTF gets over a whole day on the drink following the Tyne-Wear derby......
:laughing: :clap:
Agreed in most respects. Seriously, Mex, you know I'm a major Calzaghe nuthugger and all, but I don't see what you think you saw. Not at all....
All that fucking around when he got 'hit' by the low blow in the tenth was a disgrace. As MWS says- he wasn't looking for Joe to lose a point,...
Cortez was how I expected him to be in Floyd-Hatton: he let BOTH guys away with a lot of clinching/holding, rough tactics with the heads and ball...
I have to say that I agree somewhat with RJJP4P (and it's not often I say that). I thought Bernard, especially with three US judges, was going...
That came out of the blue- what happened? Why did he quit? I only followed this RBR, but it didn't sound like anyone was being badly hurt or...
Joe looks GREAT. WAR CALZAGHE!! :slap: :slap:
Audley Harrison... :lol:
Well, my brother, who is a MAJOR Calz nuthugger (and who boxes Ammy at 168) and every single person I know is rooting for Joe. He's also getting...
I should have been more specific- I meant that he is dull as dishwater to the casual sports/boxing fan. I'm happy to watch him fight generally...
That's Hopkins for you- the man is very, very skilled but is nowadays as exciting to watch as a glass of water. :doh:
Mex, your name should have been added to the poll. In fact, I'm quite surprised it wasn't, mate. :lol: I've tried so hard to stay out of this...
:laughing: :laughing: I just spat my beer across my keyboard. LOK- you are the MAN!!!
Sure brother Dsimon, though I might add that I'm disappointed to see you siding with the dark forces on this one...:tease: Two weeks or four?
It was, and I quote: "I was wrong and LOK was right, Hatton got SODOMIZED all through the night, Floyd battered and domintated him and made him...
I agree with Sly- this is a HUGELY significant fight, particularly for Joe Calzaghe. Joe was over-protected for far, far too long, and as a...
I'm always game for this sort of thing- I'll sig bet anyone who wants to pick 'Nard. I'm taking Joe. LOK- I owe you for that Floyd Sig. You...
