    So being a proud scotsman makes me sound like an idiot at all times? Man, the arrogance of some people here even makes me shake my big scottish head in disbelief sometimes!

    & people wonder why I come across as having a chip on my shoulder...

    Dunky please dont use the phrase 'old manned' in relation to Calzaghe v Kessler, its a total insult to guys like Bernard Hopkins and Archie Moore but your knowledge only comes from the last 15 years so its understandable that you dont know what your talking about .. Kessler 'World Class' ?? maybe in this 168 division but in a division thats only been around for 20 years thats not saying much, he aint nothing .. Dunky i'll talk to you about Kessler in 2 years and i bet he's just a statistic in Calzaghe's career ..

    Dunky im English but im not gonna sit here and say that Kevin Mitchell is gonna take on the world, wipe out the mexicans and be a champion to remember because he isnt .. Mitchell is a domestic level fighter and when he steps up to true class is going to be dealt with in brutal fashion i expect .. Patriotism is admirable but you talk **** about domestic level Scottish fighters .. Ken Buchanan is one of my favourite British fighters ever because he was class not because of his nationality

    err, you dont have to be an 'old man' to 'old man' an opponent...

    'Old manning' an opponent is just using your ring experience to beat a younger, less experienced man!
    You dont have to be 40 plus to "old man" another fighter!

    In all my years posting here, this has to be one of the funniest attacks I have ever had on my 'person' here!
    "Dunky, how dare you say Calzaghe old manned his opponent, dont you know Joe cannot be an old man cos hes under 40 years of age?"

    :lol:

    The only people choosing Scotland to be British are the Scottish themselves.

    He is Welsh and he is Briains best but he is also very near to retiring so enjoy you're moment while you can.

    At the end of the day wales have to be good at something, i mean they've had a bit of success with the old rugby but apart from that theres nothing of note that the welsh have achieved.

    I only deal with facts my friend.. And quite frankly you'll do well to find anyone who shares your opinion.
