    i agree with this.the booing of the anthems is pathetic.it was embarrasing hearing the hatton fans booing the US anthem.on the one hand they were enjoying and accepting the hospitality of las vegas then in the next breath they were shitting on their hosts flag,it's moronic.

    true that whatever it took Calzaghe took he fight , No excuses if he cant beat Hopkins then he cant beat him simple as that ,Calzaghe will box his ears off though imo . been watching him since 93 debut in the "Arms Park" as it goes , Met Lenny Lewis that night in Jacksons night club next door ,Hak the manager introduced him to me ,Massive fella ,later Maloney could be seen running to the train station chasing some bird who had made of with a large amount off cash apparently LMFAO

    Regardless, The Ring Magazine Championship is the most reliable and widely recognized one. It's often a linear one, as well, since Jack Dempsey.

    Bernard Hopkins is the light-heavyweight champion, unquestionably- he beat Tarver, who beat Johnson, who beat Tarver ... see?

    So actually, Joe Calzaghe could hold two belts at once, correct? A feat that hasn't hapenned in a long time!:bbb

    Theres no need for national anthems anyway. Not one of the boxers today fight for their country do they?
    They fight for money and because they want to. National anthems have no place in professional boxing.

    I am in block 209 - on the half-way line. Prime booing position. A group of boo'ees from this block echos around the hall like no other place apparently. You think we can hit the beers inside or is that forbidden?

    Dont worry American boxing fans, Calzaghe does not have football hooligans for supporters! The Anthem would probably be respected by Welsh people.

    I wouldn't bet on that. Just dig out the Brewer and Mitchell fights.

    A nice small one bedroom suite (just a mere 1000 square feet with a jacuzzi) - it's about a block or two away from me!
