Mayorga/Benn

but nigel benn did fight the best in his weight class. whats your point. your going on a tangent again.

 

should have seen this coming....lets talk about calzaghes ****ing resume again. i'm going to bed.

remember kids, nigel benn ducked no-one, was scared of no-one and was a truly unique warrior . and believe it or not, all this while being british .

 

i'll say it again...

if you're not marketable, court the US networks and have a US fanbase then all you bring to the table is the belt.

sure calzaghe was the legitimate champ and i'm not saying it's right that he has to go looking for the best fighters in the world simply because he's not american, but that's the way the business side of boxing works.

frank warren knows this and thats why his fighters rack up wins from home 95% of the time.

what i said about hatton before fits right into this.

calzaghe is a very, very good fighter - but he never got a dream fight like hatton did against floyd because he never took that chance and risked himself against a proven world class fighter in their prime.

the belt is leverage, but if you're sitting on it in europe don't expect to be taken seriously by guys like jones and hopkins fighting on the world stage.

even arthur abraham knows that...

 

what the **** has joe calzaghe got to do with nigel benn????????

 

blinkers wont help you if thats the best you can do. you still didnt challeneg what i said directly.

 

tell me why he didnt fight toney....

 

i'll leave you to it.
night.

 

you're the only one who's mentioned a cowardly brit.....i havent.

and now you're talking about jones as a rumour...

only because its convenient.

 

i refer to the jones one as just that, a rumour. quite probably not true. whereas you are screaming " why didn't he fight toney !!!" as if you know something we dont.
like i say, theres plenty of fighters you could accuse of playing safe and staying home but benn is not one of them.

 

fine so tell me why toney doesnt have your boys on his record?


i'm still waiting for you to give me a straight answer......

 

oh my god. I DONT ****ING KNOW!! you tell me you seem to have the inside knowledge.

 

Look mate it takes 2 fighters to make a fight

Gerald came over here to fight and fare play to him, but why didnt toney try to force a fight ?

 

"theres plenty of fighters you could accuse of playing safe and stay at home but benn is not one of them"

your words.

so i'm still waiting......

 

too late for this ****. what is this the cryptic clue game ?

 

for the reasons i said above.

look i'm not saying its right in any way that the yanks have this privelege, but thats the way it is and if you want your defeining career fight then you have to chase it.
