    Of course! I can't wait!!

    By the way, I'd take issue with saying Hatton was only slightly better than Gatti was at 140. I'd say Hatton was indeed considerably better. Gatti of 2005 would not have stopped Paulie Malignaggi, winning 10 out of 11 rounds, no chance. Hatton of 2005 was light years ahead of Gatti as a light-welter, Hatton of 2009 was still considerably better IMO.

    Definitly, Watanabe is amazing. Prime for prime him versus Gilberto Roman would be near heaven.

    Also cant wait for the big fight

    Good post. I disagree somewhat, as I view Calzaghe as more flawed than you seem to, and I view Jones as more skilled than you seem to, I think Jones could easily outpoint Joe Calzaghe (though I'd back him to stop him for sure), but a good post with some good points nonetheless. I appreciate your input on the thread amigo.

    TV coverage starts at 2, the fight won't start til about 4 I don't think. I say Pacquiao TKO11 Clottey, ref saves Joshua on accumulation of punishment. Even though it will have been a barnburner, Pac will have a healthy points lead at the time of the stoppage. Sorry for going off-topic!

    Yeah thanks Popkins. Like i said, i'm not going all out giving you **** (haha, just kidding) because i clearly see why you could deem Jones as amazing head to head in his prime. I don't think Calzaghe is not flawed though, i just think he's a very effective operator in his own way.

    Popkins- yeah the fight will be great, always is when Pacquiao fights.

    Greg- i'm a nob lately, i told you i'd watch that and AlFrancis i'd score Sanchez-Cowdell and have done neither. I actually just need to find Roman-Watanabe but i have no excuse for Al.

    What do you mean lately?

    Your a scouser what do I expect. At least Al had the sense to bugger off to Spain, although he must have done a bank job or something as we all know rich criminals go to spain.
