    In my humble opinion Reid beat Calzaghe back in 19 ninety whatever (8?) and is just a genuinely sound fella (he also clearly beat Ottke - SO CLEARLY!!!). What you all call fighting dirty is just the same kind of old pro's tricks you applaud from Hopkins, Holyfield et al. Froch is probably sound enough, too, but has fallen into the trap of, as POW rightly says, playing the pantomime villain. Hey it sells tickets right? I hope Reid knocks him out, but really don't see it so let's just allow Reid, a guy who has been a brilliant servant to British boxing and porno star to boot, his one final payday. Let's just think how many potential WBC champions do we have coming through now or in the forseeable? Froch, for one, will never achieve half of what Reid has done and will retire way younger than this warrior, but with half the respect and twice the money. Funny old game innit?

    Gotta root for porn star Reid here even though I know it's a long shot. Froch will probably stop him in the middle rounds.
