Agreed.

hoi, jp

Based on your arguement for the scottish premier being more competitive than the english premier due to the number of top teams compared to the number of total teams in the league; would ewe say that enzo calzaghe was one of the (if not the) best bawcksing trainers in the wurld having coached a few champions from a place where there's only about 20 people?

I suspect that it would have been described as racist if Calzaghe had said something like "I've never lost to a black boy".

I like the Executioner. I always have. Why does he have to put
his foot in his mouth - so often?

"I say things other people won't say. Martin Luther King had that.
Marcus Garvey had that. Gandhi had that.

-Bernard Hopkins

I love how he compared himself to Gandhi. That was fucking brilliant.

It's going to be an awesome fight. Calzaghe and Hopkins both
have ginormous hearts. I'm quite fond of Joe's unorthodox style.
It will prolly give Bernard trouble. All night (all night).

I'm going with the beast from Philly ftw. Despite the afore
mentioned foot.

I hold that Bernard has faced better fighters than Joe
is a tad quicker, and he is black.
