''That the winner of this bout will go down as the division’s greatest of all-time is a given.'' - If Calzaghe wins then yes, he is the greatest of all time in the division, infact he already is, if Kessler wins then no, he still isnt the best, he beat a 35 year old Calzaghe (not that Kessler will win anyway), thats 2 years older than Eubank was when he lost to Joe, yet people all remember ...

Calzaghe isnt over-hyped, he put Eubank on his arse, who else has done that? We were told the same shit about how Lacy would destroy this over-rated bum Calzaghe, after the fight Lacy was 'green' and 'never any good' all of a sudden his nuthuggers had gone! It matters not, Calzaghe will win this quite easily and my predition is.....the same people hypeing Kessler will dissapear just like they ...

Why did Bernard agree to fight Joe, then double his price at time of signing? Because its not worth it, he will lose to someone who isnt a big name in the US. I would be willing to put my gaff on a Calzaghe win V Hopkins.

I would be willing to put my gaff on a Calzaghe win V Hopkins. Well, I'd be willing to throw down money on Hopkins if he fights Calzaghe. Hopkins is an elite fighter; Calzaghe isn't. Hopkins ...
If he really slapped he wouldnt have dropped people like Eubank would he? He had a granite chin! Bernard Hopkins wouldnt hurt Calzaghe and Joe is way to busy for Hopkins, Hopkins loses a wide UD, unfortunatly the american 'elite' are scared of flying so we may never find out.

Winky Wright and Hoilmes arnt on Calzaghe's level, they dont have his speed or power, let me ask you a question Rummy, who did you have down as winner pre Lacy fight? Seriously, Lacy or Calzaghe?

Seriously, Lacy or Calzaghe? I thought Lacy would win, but I was never sold on either fighter, much in the same way I'm not totally sold on either going into this fight. Winky is ...
Quote: Originally Posted by Arran We could have this argument all day, everyone is entitled to an opionion, unfortunatly for you Rummy your opinion is wrong! Calzaghe will destroy Hopkins! Okay, let's take a step back. Are you willing to admit that Calzaghe has NEVER faced an opponent even approaching Calzaghe's skill level?
Quote: Originally Posted by Ciani Kessler is limited in the sense that he had no B plan. He's not versatile and proved unable to adapt. In fairness, Calzaghe is superior to Kessler, but compared to Hopkins (ie-the context of this discussion) Kessler most certainly is limited. How any one could even think of arguing otherwise is well beyond the realm of reason. No offense Ciani, but I'm questioning your honesty in this discussion. I...
