    I don't give massive credit for beating Beyer either. Beyer was a decent champion, but nothing more. I had him around number #10 in SMW at the time he fought Kessler. I think calling him garbage and the likes is a harsh judgement.

    I think that is a fair description.

    The main difference between Lacy and Beyer is that they were from Germany and the US. Beyer was actually impressive agaisnt Sheika and made a good come back against highly touted Green. fights that an american press could and would have hyped.

    I believe Lacy was 5-6 when Calzaghe met him. Kessler, Calzaghe, Mundine were clearly better and seeing that mediocre Tsypko drew (in reality) with Lacy, several other fighters would have had a good chance.

    I love your logic Blocky:

    Kessler isn't a legit champion because he hasn't beaten good enough opponents... (Kessler beat two reigning champions and two mandatories on abrod...)

    Calzaghe can't be blaimed for not beating that many good opponents because there wasn't any-one better around...

    So I guess Calzaghe is rated above Kessler because he has been beating the weak opponents in SMW for 10 years and Kessler for only two years - or???

    It was very moronic.
    Calzaghe will gain a lot by beating Kessler (if he can somehow do it). Kessler has 2 belts ( 2 more prestigous belts which Calzaghe has never held), and a great record, and is establishing himself at a much quicker rate than Calzaghe did/is. A win over Kessler would probably make Calzaghe the greatest SMW ever.

    I think Calzaghe would win, but if he doesn't I'll give Kessler all the credit going

    The Aussies are now moaning & groaning that we have sent a 'B' team for the next, away leg of the Tri Nations. They should be so lucky as to even have a 'B' team! We smacked them in the first game and had the All Blacks on toast, with 10 minutes to go. Then our idiots defended the lead, instead of carrying on with the winning pattern of play. The All Blacks love it when 'you' kick it back to them...and so, they won....but only just.

    And....this morning, the Aussies gave them a smack!

    The World Cup will be very interesting.

    As an aside: American football is so boring with all of that stop, start crap. Those guys wouldn't last 20 minutes playing our brand of the ball game.

    You are a being a bit liberal with the truth son. You only beat the Aussies on the strength of a couple of last ditch field goals....... But we won't let the truth get in the way of a good story......eh?

    As for the World Cup........ How many Cups have South Africa won?

    That's right........ They won a final in a home series........but have done sweet **** all playing away from home.

    Unfortunately for you........The World Cup isn't in your own backyard this time.:yep

    South Africa are the perrenial "Chokers" of International Sport.:oops:

    Just take your Cricket team as an example........:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: They love to talk it up big, but when the chips are down........ CHOKE!......:rofl :rofl :rofl

    How many world Cup Cricket Finals have South Africa played in? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Bugger........ NONE........even in their Home series. :D

    Not only can't you win a Final.........You can't even make a Final. :lol: :lol:

    Never mind son......... I hear they are thinking of a World Cup for "Choking" and you guys will be a lay down misere for that one.:good

    And if they have a World Cup for "talking the talk, but not walking the walk"........you guys are dead set certs for that one as well.
