    I'll start us off.

    "I read that Lennox Lewis is returning to fight Joe Calzaghe"

    "When is Calzaghe gonna fight Hatton."

    "Pacquiao will batter Hatton, obviously. He just beat Oscar De La Hoya who was Pound for Pound NUMBER ONE!"

    Pacquiao breaking the record for titles in 9 weight classes. They should at least put an asterik on it if they wanna claim it.

    Haye-Harrison is definitely going 12 rounds!
    Or maybe my mate who doesn't follow the sport suggesting khan and haye should fight!

    Also there is an absurd tendency in British society to think of valuev as ugly and having lost his duel with haye

    lol joe louis is overhyped big time, he fought bums and racked up a long title reign, wladmir has got knocked out three times compared to joes two times. but has made a title reign that is to be proud off

    why is it that joe is ranked as best heavyweight fighter of all time, because he is an old genration fighter?. people wake up "

    Wow. I can't believe Spud1 posted that. Joe Louis being overrated??? WTF!

    Dutch newspaper: "Evander Holyfield regained the World Heavyweight title by beating South Africa's Frans Botha in round 8 last weekend" (can't recall the exact words used, but it was something like this)

    I believe it stems from bitter jealousy of the seamless way snv integrated himself in British high society. Even prince phillip , a notorious offender of foreigners and a general sceptic of everything ever, was won over by sugars dashing wit and flawless charm :good
