    Nothing wrong with that - thats quite healthy, imho.
    I understand rivalry, we have the same with the other Scandinavian countries, especially Sweden, but we will often root for them, when Denmark isn't involved. Its all in good nature, and its healthy as I said before. Where it gets unhealthy is, when bitterness becomes involved. Aussies shouldn't be bitter that they were deported to Australian paradise. The english shouldn't be bitter at the immigrants and freedom fighters of America.

    I am glad your eyes are wide open concerning where Kessler and JC are.

    They only show up in threads like "Calzaghe is immortal" and so!

    I have no doubts Calzaghe is no average Joe but going as far as to say that he is a proven virtuoso seems rather unreal to say the least. I would second MexicanJew that he is much more skillful than british fighters tend to be, amazing handspeed, accuracy and great footwork are more than obvious but Joe may have to dig deeper and just stop slappin with the inside of his gloves so that he can impress overseas rather than just win WBO 168-pound title fights in his home turf... I like Joe and this fight but even if he wins a 12 rounder, the WBC 168-pound strap and a 21st title defense, is not that little precious so far 4 a P4P claim?

    I had to stop reading after I got to 2).
    You must be some sort of stoooopud if you think for one moment that prime agaisnt prime, Calzaghe would beat Toney . Toney's left hook and straight right hand would annihilate JC. His streaight right hand at an obese level is a gift from god. That straight right hand at middleweight?
    In his PRIME? =Target practice.

    When it comes to slick southpaws, Michael Nunn had that covered.
    Calzaghe would be easier to hit.

    Is Calzaghe the next Prince? No.

    CAn he be beaten up by Kessler the same way Barrerra
    beat up Naz? Yes . The recipe for upset is the same.
    A diciplined strong fighter agaisnt an akward southpaw.
    Its there ...It can happen...

    How can I be the stupid one, if you are the one, who can't read? Can't you see difference between prime and primer(this has already been explained).

    If you think that Toney will beat JC, then fine. I just want you to watch Calzaghe fight, then rewatch RJJ-Toney to give you some clue. Since you don't really care to take my post serious, I really don't wanna help your incompetence any further.

    If you wanna respond to someone, its a good thing that you learn how to read, and to read everything they have written.

    I didnt say that Joe wasnt diciplined. I never said that at all.

    I understand that this fight has gotten you guys bubbling ...

    I can read maybe you need to write better constructed sentences.
    ITs the sentence category here:

    Since I dont exactly know how " primer " relates to boxing, I can only assume that you meant JC vs. Jones fighting in their primes.
    Is it safe to assume such things?

    I propably wouldnt have to ask if you made this more clear. Or it could just be that I dont know how to read:huh ?

    Right after that, its : ' Toney would be killed.'

    When would he be killed? Since this category started with two fighters
    fighting in thier primes, as I continue to read the rest ; it just states that Toney, would be killed.

    Which should fairly be taken as : Toney in his prime, would be killed.
    So if that is not what you meant they why put it there in the first place?

    So you have JC vs RJ " primer"

    But Toney isnt "primer" or can you just pick whatever version of Toney that you like? Cruiserweight Toney, Heavy weight Toney,... gradeschool Toney?

    Better chin, more constant pressure, equal workrate, larger size and more power IMO. Defence is about the same, speed is about the same also... only Andrade keeps the tempo for 12 straight rounds and Pavlik has shown he can run out of gas.

    I believe he broke free of this accusation with his dismantling of Jeff Lacy.
