    Ticky tacky?

    Bad decisions originated in America hence the spirit of boxing was born in America.

    The rules were changed from the London Prize Ring rules to the Marquis of Queensbury, which were writting by a fella names John Graham Chambers - who was born in Wales. Boxing sounds pretty bloody British to me...:good

    no, the mafia held the belts thier and foreigners werent allowed to fight thier or couldnt fight thier so really the world title for many years wasnt really a world title, it was an American title. Its like NFL, when they win the Superbowl they get a ring with world champions on, they arnt world champions, they are american champions, nobody else plays so how can it be World? Same goes for the World Series!

    Grand prize goes to this rocket scientist for making the most ignorant statement in the history of ESB.

    And how much does that 50k generate in terms of dollar as compared to the 19,000 paying public in the US?

    Calzaghe was a multi-millionaire long before he went to the US thats for sure.

    What will be rememberd best in 50 years time.

    Ali v Foreman

    Hopkins V Pavlik


    Which made the most money? Hopkins V Pavlik, now like I said, which will be remembered more in 50 years time.

    I've just searched the web and I have found precisely nothing about Calzaghe saying this. Is it just a coincidence that the original poster did not include a link to a source...or even name a source for that matter. This is clearly all made up, and I will continue to believe so until I actually see any evidence.

    OP is obviously just trying to stir some ****....and it has worked.
