    Yeah and we all know how safe boxing bets are...

    But what about these nine champions?

    Does that mean, that if the unimaginable should happen and Kessler should beat Calzaghe, that you will give him credit and admit you were wrong about his chances on this forum before you leave?

    How does that work? Let's say Lacy becomes a champ once again, does he count as two then? Or do you think three of his opponents who haven't been champs yet will win a title in the future?

    To be honest with you the only guy he has beat lately that could become champion (again) is Lacy, as I see it.

    If 4 are needed, I really cannot imagine who he could be thinking about.

    The percentages for Calzaghe's opponents of picking up a belt is imo the following:

    Lacy: 20% (10% for skill and doubled because he may be backed by HBO)
    Bika: 15% (15% for skill alone, but will not get any favors - could possbily beat Berrio)
    The rest: 1% (1% because nothing in life is 0 nor 100%, but noone else has any business even being in a championship fight).

    I cannot imagine how there can be four future champs coming from Calzaghe's current past opponents.

    That list is even more amusing than Blocky's assumption Manfredo is a future champion.

    How come????

    All six are former or reigning champions in one of the three major sanctioning bodies. They are npot of the same quality as Calzaghe granted - but that fair irreleval to this argument.

    Yes, especially if it was not for the fact that Mundine alone would beat any of Calzaghe's still active former opponents. ;-)

    That pretty much says it all.

    I did use my brain - that's why your arguments are so hard to understand...

    Which three Calzaghe victims are future champions???

    Bika is the only opponent that I even see getting another shot at a title - and when he does he will loose again.

    Calzaghe's last 3 opponents Lacy, Bika maybe even Manfredo could beat him.

    Lacy might - but I doubt it. Bika/Manfredo doesn't stand a chance - sorry
