    I would rather see Iggy/Holyfield, at least with that fight I have someone to root for.

    One ridiculous statement deserver's another. I am merely trying to sound as foolish as China Hand Job.

    Nah. I'm not in the mood for sophistry at the moment. Try me again later.

    In the meantime, good hunting.

    i tend to agree that this fight ranks up there with the Leonard - Duran, Jones - Hopkins, Hagler - Hearns, etc. in terms of elite fighting elite. Even though they are a little less elite, its not far off

    Pacman is promoted by Americans perhaps?

    No, he just fights here, so we can see him. It really is as simple as that really. You call American fighters overrated, American's call Euro fighters overrated. You're each talking ****, so what's the problem? Both sides think they are right and the other is wrong.

    They are all overrated except Calzaghe, Mayweather and a few other by people from both sides. I believe both sides are wrong.

    Before you claim something, please do some homework first. Kessler did his first title defence in Australia, and now in Wales. 99% of top US boxers have never fought outside their country - are you a hypocrite?

    If this fight does not generate mass amount of interest is nothing to do with the significance of the fight, but rather the ignorance of US boxing fans. However, I assume that a vast majority of the US posters on ESB, acknowledges this fight.

    You on the other hand should rather choose a new sport, or research some more.

    Good call. But it still doesn't make it the most significant. It's a great fight and I am happy it's happening. But please, it's build up like this that makes a mockery of it and the good fans.

    US fighters consider this a good fight, but not no where near "fight of the century", if it was that significant it would be on PPV dont you think? As far as it not getting interest in america it will, but these our 2 fighters most people have not seen much on television in america, its hard to get into a fight when you havent seen alot of there past fights.

    These two guys are the best fighters by far in terms of skills from 160-175. The intangibles are incredible and both are masters of in their field.

    The fact that this fight is almost impossible to predict is the icing on the cake.

    Forget about names.
    Forget about resumes.
    Forget about hype.
    Forget about circle jerkers.
    Forget about has-beens.
    Forget nationalities.

    And look at skills, and belts...

    This is by far the most important and interesting fight in this century.
