    John who?

    Yeah, the Sovietunion was founded in 1917 but then there was already peace with Germany. Without the help from US, supplies and weapons, even before they entered the war there would have been no french resistance and the Brits wouldn´t have been able to campaign for a long time and would have made peace with the Nazis. Without the US help there wouldn´t have been a westfront anymore and the Soviets wouldn´t have such an "easy" time with the German army.

    Now you look like Miranda after the Abraham fight :rofl

    You have to be a real internet warrior because if you would talk like that in your real life you would be constantly in hospital due to all the ass-whooping you would get every day.

    The OP has a point but there's a difference (tho not huge) between 35 (Calz v MK) and 40 (hops v JT) and that should be considered.

    i think to that despite this age difference we all know bernard started boxing late and joe has been boxing since he was a kid and had one more successsful title defence at the time than bernard. plus like i said taylor was undefeated but had not faced gr8 competition and had no world titles. was not a champion. whereas kessler had more fights and had 2 world titles offering a more cometetive fight and maybe state of mind???

    Britain from the start refused to make peace with Germnay.

    Germany could not invade Britain as they did not have air superiority over the potential invasion area. This was because the lost the Battle of Britain in summer-autumn 1940. Not an American in sight.

    Well, Britain would have lost the battle of Britain without the credits and ressources they got from the states.

    like i said Calzaghe was not linear or undisputed champ after beating Lacy. He was just the top ranked guy in the division. The ring does not decide who the linear champ is.

    Nope they didn´t but they provided GB with the money and ressources to do so. Insults don´t strengthen your argument, it just shows that you are running out of arguments.

    A couple of rifles and some $$$s ammunition didn`t shoot down one Messerschmitt or Heinkel.

    The RAF won the Battle of Britain. Read some history books son.

    Its an empirical fact that Ottke wanted no part of Joe, and I'm certain Joe would have had no qualms about going to Germany to whip Ottke.

    Without the supplies and money of the US there wouldn´t have been much of a RAF and even less ammunition. Go and read some history books troll.
