Great news if this is true :happy I might even watch the fight live if they were to do it here in Parken stadium Copenhagen :happy :happy I think Kessler is a very good fighter but Calzaghe is simply better. I think Calzaghe wil make Kessler look like a journeyman, beating him up to the punches all the time.
Dear Blocky, since you so often judge intelligence here. Please tell me how intelligent it would be of me to make this bet with you. I will make the bet with a bookmaker at the best odds I can find. But of course if you can offer better odds and you can make satisfy my needs for security for my money once I win. I will take you into consideration.
Intelligence. OK, well why don't we put actions where our mouthes are: I'll take a test at Mensa and see what the result is if Blocky does the same. If either of us gets in the bet is settled. If neither of us then the one that receives the highest (none-qualifying) score wins the bet. You on Blocky?
If you hold a card to Mensa - then I've lost all respect for Mensa (although I didn't have much to begin with)
I agree that noboddy can write like you can, these boards shows it. If that is proof of intelligence, well then intelligence is something I have to study a little bit more.
You are? well, so am I (Australian Mensa). Yeah, I know.... I set up a bet I couldn't loose.;-) Now we just need to find a way to prove membership.... :think
Polarizing oppinions is not difficult. Give me one article and I'll create havock. The title will be: "A thorough examination and proof that Oscar de la Hoya is NOT an ATG" ...or something like that. Just be controversial and people will come like flies to ****. Writing the truth may not polarize oppinions, but afterall the truth is (!?) a quality in and by itself.
I'll make you another bet. Kessler wins = you suck my **** Calzaghe wins = i'll lick your ***** hulter
I fail to see what intelligence and Mensa has to do with boxing knowledge? IQ is totally related to identifying logical patterns. Neither intelligence nor boxing knowledge can predict the outcome of this fight with 100% certainty. I think Kessler will win - saying the opposite would be an equally intelligent suggestion, and so would it be in a sense of boxing knowledge. Disputing that would be unintelligable and unknowledgable though.
...argument by authority...when you cannot convince someone through reasoned argument, you fall back on giving your argument credibility by listing your credentials.
Well, since the geniuses are closely related to the insane - then whats the point? However, your emotional intelligence might be way higher to compensate. IQ is overrated. E.I is underrated.
