    I'm missing the Minter thing, just a question, what did he do which was so great?

    Hagler chewed him up and spat him out, which is no disgrace I guess.

    OK then Sweet Pea, name me one of Calzaghes wins that tops Kens two over Laguna? (especially given the fight locations)

    I've never heard of this Laguna fellow to be honest, but I'll say Prime Robin Reid.

    People want to talk about these big wins all the time, but not **** losses.

    Do you know why? Because Joe Calzaghe doesn't have any **** loses and that scares people. Most British boxing legends lost fights about as of as Calzaghe lost rounds (should be noted that he only ever lost rounds when he was one handed or caught cold early on).
