You thought Joe was a middleweight............well Sugar Ray Robinson was a middleweight......so your saying on Joes day he would " destroy " Ray Robinson on his day ( any era ).............thats just ludicrous !......and the fact Sugar Ray Robinson in most peoples eyes was the greatest fighter who ever lived at any weight......surely suggests your saying Joe Calzaghe was the greatest fighter who ever lived at any weight if you think he would of destroyed him ...i dont class myself as a particularly bright fella....but im pretty sure 2 plus 2 is still 4 ! Who the f**k is markbricks.......

Same here mate its no biggie its not going to effect my life.......just as with anything we all want to reach the truth of a subject of interest.....i guess sometimes thats just not possible and we have to go with instinct,i know what i think and respectfully you have your thoughts. So we know for fact Hopkins priced himself out of the fight.......but we also know for fact Calzaghe refused to go to America for the fight saying he wanted it in Wales............ I accept at that time Lacey was highly thought of......what im saying is for people to still use that fight as an example of Calzaghe

Sorry mate i cant be quite as polite as attack fell terrier.........................your talking complete bollocks !!! .........Most folk with even a little knowledge of boxing put Sugar Ray Robinson in their top 3 greatest fighters in the history of the sport....personally he,s my number 1.................and you say Joe Calzaghe was better .....you think Joe Calzaghe was the greatest fighter who ever lived at any weight.............................thats just being silly mate.

Is this where i have to go hide in the cupboard through fear of attack from the laundry ladies ?.........relax son its only the internet

wow your a funny one you are mate ....... that one..... or that one............................no f**k it that one.

" i,ll have my say " ...do what you like i love kids....so i can see why someone stoning a kid to death would be seen as scum regardless of culture...........but how different cultures eat their food is none of my business maybe i just dont value animals enough i dont know........ Anyway whats wrong with hanging poofs from tower cranes,seems a perfectly acceptable practise to me.

Canning Town is probably about the same size/population as Hartlepool.................how is that moving the goalposts ...... West Ham,Bow,Bethnal Green,Canning Town are all very small areas of East London of which any one has produced far more than Hartlepool......infact i could name you 3 British champions from Bethnal Green who were from the same street !...is that a small enough area for you..................blimey dont take a div like my word for it......Colin Hart ( the voice of boxing ).. see what he says http://www.thesun.co...n-East-End.html

How about a nice 2 piece bra and knicker set ?..................bit of a daft question really mate you know the man we dont

Badly advised buying him...................the mans been a sensation !............oh sorry i forgot thats only on the football pitch and what a footballer plays football like is not really important anymore is it.
-
Keeping Africans in check.....in Africa you mean ....listen im not getting into a debate about politics,apartheid and all that shit as i dont know enough about it..........but as a vaguely fair person id look at Africa as a predominantly black continent....whites controlling blacks in their own land never seemed right to me,battering f**k out of them in the street and restricting them to certain parts of their own gaff seems like racism ( if that is really a word ).............to me that cant be the same word as telling a black man that he is black.....thats my only point.
-
Some cultures stick all sorts of shit in their face,rings up their neck,purposely scar their faces and i dare say plenty of other weird stuff we would find repulsive...................as long as they dont do it in this country then who are we to say their wrong.....they might think putting a pig in a pen of its own filth then eating it is weird to us its perfectly normal......oh but its a poor little doggie i forgot.....i agree its not nice but calling the people sick scum just because its not the same sick scum we do...................
-
Absolutely......unless someones getting bashed up robbed or abused....mind your f****n business......this was a discrepancy over a train ticket where a kid used the f word....................maybe next time captain caveman there will think twice before roughing up little teenagers.

Gnash London and the Home Counties have 10-12 Million Folk to Produce there Fighting Stock. And a Percentage of the Names Folk know wont of been Born-raised in the Capital but moved there to join a stable. Hartlepool Oh Little Hartlepool by this little Northern Town can Produce a Boxer-Fighting man. Up there with the Best people per square Mile . He didnt ask people per square mile he asked where the best boxers in Britain come from .........for example the 2 best heavyweights in Britain at this moment are both from London..........i have every respect for the boxers Hartlepool

We all know what its like to have a manager you want to kick in the bollocks but that game last night was a bit strong its almost as if the Blackburn fans wanted their side to lose so they could give it to the manager.........i hope he gets the chance to pull them out of it just so he can stick 2 fingers up to his own supporters !

....superb !..........all that lad needed was a wonky eye and a funny face and he could of had the part in Deliverance
-
My bet is he gets arrested and charged !.................I think its absolutely sickly this whole racism thing.....i listened to this interview with Gus Poyet on talksport some time ago i thought he was absolutely 100% spot on.....have a listen to the whole interview...particularly at around 5.30 in the interview ( do you want the whole world to drive on the right hand side of the road ).....he is totally right.....as a nation we are obssessed with racism,the rest of the world is not..... nobody else cares if a black man gets called a black man but we regard it as almost a hanging offence.....
-
At least taking a few punches didnt make me lose my manners and need to start name calling when i cant get my own way or back up anything i say " youd be surprised what i can back up "...........well what ? this is the internet son you have to type something and then people read it thats how it works....so whats the surprise dont be shy ? When the valleys have the worldwide reputation the Royal Oak has as a pro or Repton as an amateur then it will be worth comparing,until that day its not.
-
You cant be serious............any era ????? Sugar Ray Robinson,Harry Grebb,Carlos Monzon,Stanley Ketchell,Jake La Motta,Marvin Hagler,Ray Leonard........................... Ok Calzaghe wasnt a middleweight but you didnt know that....sometimes you just gotta keep it real and not get swept along with romantic sayings.
-
You make some very valid points......id like to make it clear i didnt follow Calzaghes career very closely at the time and the Hopkins/Calzaghe reasoning was only what i was told since by somebody i have no reason to doubt.....the same person was also well known for calling Calzaghe a fitness fanatic who can box a little bit,which i thinks a little unfair but having been around long enough its often hard to look past what makes sense......as the saying says " never be a fool to your own intelligence "......but then it doesnt necessarily make it fact as im merely taking another mans word for so
-
Historically its London by far..........right this minute,probably still London.....closely followed by Manchester,Sheffield....Norwich has a fair few......easiest thing to do is check the World top 10 ratings and see where the British fighters come from theres probably no more than about 10 or 12 so shouldnt be too difficult.
-
Cracking post there sir.....just a couple ofpoints....as regards the happenings between Hopkins/calzaghe i have to be honest i never paid much attention at the time for whatever reason i cant remember im going purely on what ive been told since....and what i was told came pretty much from the horses mouth so to speak so without sounding impolite.....i,ll go with that ....as it happens i totally agree about Hopkins he is a remarkable athlete,but in any form of sport you dont expect a man to improve or even stay the same the older he gets and no way did Calzaghe expect him to be the same fighte
-
That office with all the wooden cupboards like something off Open All Hours was where you would get called in and given a name,venue and date to train towards.......you didnt dare question it.......compare that to todays times where fighters tell there managers who there fighting,where and when.....Duff would of eaten the likes of Calzaghe or David Haye alive......." you dont f****n dictate to me ive been in this game 475 years "....i can still hear him now ....good little fighter in his day gte i dont know if you knew.
-
I can see by that reply you clearly didnt know Calzaghe was started off by lawless and Duff .....and how is it contradicting to say because Terry didnt feel he was ready but Joe did that means he didnt duck anyone ....he wanted titles,money.....but as he did with all youngsters Terry would try to hold them back......by the time Calzaghe started ducking fighters Terry was long retired .... i can also see by your reply you dont really know much about London boxers....either that or you just cant think of any that might back up your claim of being crap......" talk is cheap " you say...well what
-
They all had a hand in each others pocket.....officially Lawless was manager/trainer.....Duff was manager/promoter.....Levene was matchmaker.......but they was all earning off all the fighters....Honeyghan for instance was a Duff fighter but would train in the oak the peacock and the thomas a beckett with George Francis.....they were a complicated little outfit but had the game sewn up back then.

He was a very odd character Mugabi he once started a full scale gym riot after taking liberties with Boza Edwards.....he also stunk like a raccoon and was none to fond of taking a shower ....wasted talent just didnt have the mentality for it really.
