    Yep katsidis is my Fav Aussie lad and Calzaghe is in a class of his own @ S/Middleweight , he's beaten the best in the division thats why he's winding up the yanks and beating their old glory fighters warming up for Pavlik fight :deal oh and the $$$$'s ain't bad either :yep

    I used to want to see Calzaghe get his arse kicked because his resume was pretty poor. But in the last couple of years he's really stepped it up, and I enjoy seeing him fight now.
    He should have won by 4 or 5 points against Hopkins, the scorecards were a bit off there.
