    Who would you be picking to win and why?

    Assume that they are both coming of really good years and each is bringing two belts to the ring. Both camps were faultless.

    GZA is doing Wills ring walk music, if that helps.

    I wonder what Dempsey would arrive to?:think

    Are you finding yourself rooting for Kessler at all?

    :lol:

    I never thought Calzaghe was good for supermiddleweight boxing, to tell the truth. Completely uninterested in unification and never went after the big fights. Since he's on his way out, and Kessler's a young up-and-comer, I would prefer that Kessler win for the good of the division.

    There's a perfect - literally - example in your avatar there.

    Seriously, compare your avatar to CT'S, why do women even want to be seen with men :lol:

    Women must have done something REALLY bad to deserve it. Like become Calzaghe fans.

    It's a tough one. I have him top 20 but I don't think i've ever had him higher than 16. I have Dempsey at 11 or 12 depending how i'm feeling about Foreman.

    Don't - we are only a hears breadth away from getting a thread on a topic like Calzaghe's ability as a lover, I don't want to stir that pot.

    Imagine the analysis concerning the inferiority of sexual techniques in the 1920's?
