    Timothy Bradley vs Luis Carlos Abregu. People say this fight was boring, but I thought quite the opposite, underrated fight.

    Joe's ability do adapt in that fight is severely overrated. Calzaghe was coming in too fast early on, presenting Hopkins with spots to counter him, but when he started respecting the distance, working his way across it, he gave Hopkins less to work off, and started to get a momentum in the fight, and even though he wasn't that effective himself, due to Hopkins defense, but also his own lack of accuracy, he did shut Hopkins offense down somewhat, problem, is, he shut his own down to, because of the fact he comes wide with his shots at times.

    Klitschko vs Haye. Chisora vs Fury. My brain is incapable to think any further back

    I genuinely enjoyed that fight when I watched it live because I wanted Groves to win so badly, the rounds flew by. Watching it again wasn't particularly pleasant though.

    Klit v Haye. Though I lost my biggest ever single bet on the fight, I watched it with boxing novices who appreciated my between rounds 'expertise' (or seemed to anyway) and it was a fun night

    Yeah. Watching the first 6 rounds were so bad. From then on DeGale started going for it and pushing Groves who was in there to survive

    As was B-Hop, which is why Calzaghe has never looked sloppier ;-)

    Yes got to agree with Calzaghe-Hopkins. Love this fight have watched it countless times. The only thing that bugs me watching this fight is Rawlings appalling commentary.
