    To be fair, I enjoyed his fight against Lewis trading bombs all along. Like he can KO himself nobody can do that, even Tyson Fury can't :D

    Anyone calling Calloway a bum is clearly an idiot with no knowledge of the fight game.

    no one called him a bum
    but FACT
    calloway is 40
    calloway started as a cruiser-went to a small heavy, back down to cruiser...he was outweighed by 50
    calloway was ranked 97th in the world at heavy...just think how shitty the top 20 is
    calloway had NO CHANCE- thus briggs could have fought 5 of his caliber in 1 night

    In this forum "bum", alongside "robbery" and "Koki Kameda" is the most over used word :D

    Yes and I would say noobs would only look at his record, "wow he won 70 of his 88 fights, he must be great, don 't call him a bum"

    dont forget "glass jaw" and when questions come up about a big fight coming up....it almost always ends in "brutal knock out"

    I always wondered, who decides these 'sanctions' boxers get after testing positive? In other sports you usually get 2 years for drug use, but Toney was in the ring within 3 months of his positive test and Briggs seems to get away with it also. :huh

    good call!

    just like the guys that look at vitalis 94% KO rate and think he hits remotley as hard as a foreman, liston, shavers, tyson, lewis.
