    Yeah I've gone through, seen Charleston and Wheeling and went rafting on the Lower Gauley. Damn beautiful state, it's a shame the economy is what it is. I was just surprised to see someone from WV use that term, but then again WV is hard to classify :lol: Some very southern parts, some not.

    Oh, you mean Yanks?? I saw that highlighted in your post and was wondering myself. I was being sarcastic and using it in a smartass kind of way to the person I'd quoted.

    Yeah, hell no, you aren't gonna hear no WVinians use the term yanks,..ever.:lol:

    Good post PW. Joe deserves all out respect, and major credit should he win (w/o legit controversy).

    Well people do pick up little bits of slang here and there on this forum and use it in their posts, so I can kinda understand that. I can't stand the term Yank though and as you know it's a damned insult in a large section of this country. That **** just bothers me :lol:

    I can't lie, it pisses me off too. Not that I can explain why, but it does and I believe they know it when they post that ****. It feels derogatory or some **** doesn't it??:lol:

    Hopkins is my favorite fighter and I'll be cheering him on to win on Saturday, but Joe Calzaghe is the real deal. Throws some of the most fluid combinations you will ever see, and mixes up bodyshots with headshots seamlessly. Never gets tired, or maybe he does and just never allows us to see it. He's a tough ******* as well, as he took some wicked shots from Kessler, felt them, but kept himself shook them off because he wanted it that bad. Hell of a fighter.

    Hopkins is going to get dominated and stopped, something nobody has seen before and probably something that no other LHW at the moment could replicate, maybe Dawson, but I'm unconvinced of his in fighting skill and chin, giving Hopkins a distinct chance against Dawson.

    LHW is not very strong however, not at all.

    Fact remains that Joe's going to retire as the best post-Jones fighter if he looks great at LHW and stays around for 3-4 after Hopkins and makes them meaningful fights, it'll give him an intense resume that Floyd could not compete with if he adds Dawson and a few other top level opponents in addition to the coming destruction of Hopkins.

    Yanks isn't that bad. Bart referred to me as a 'primitive, mountain dwelling German'.:-(
