    I haven't watched it in years. I probably won't watch this year's either, but I do appreciate what a Haye win means for boxing in the UK. Even a top 3 finish would be fantastic, IMO. Haye's mainstream recognition is long overdue and he deserves something of this magnitude for what he did at cruiser never mind the win over Valuev.

    I'd like to see Cav win it, he really is a phenomenal cyclist. However I'd expect the top 3 to be...

    1. Button
    2. Ennis
    3. Cavendish or Haye

    yeah, that and a text vote on the night i think it is.

    I think we should all go bat**** and vote for Haye on the night. I mean Calzaghe and Hatton both came in the top 3 two years back, so there's a fanbase there that will vote.

    I'd thought of that punchline before I made the post. I figured Dan would be the one to go for it though.....;)

    Joe Calzaghe, in no shape or form, ever won a personality contest.

    I read it as a contest for sports personalities i.e. somebody associated with sport, the same way a TV personality is somebody who appears on TV. They could be as dry as sandpaper but they are still a TV personality-the same with sport.

    It's not a contest for who has the best personality in sport, its a contest for sports personalities, and as SeanDoc said-Calzaghe won it

    They call it "personality" meaning that the vote can be independant of achivements.
