Wow, some posters are stupid. OP needs to get a life for spending that much time typing something so stupid. Though, I do give him points for getting the dumbasses to believe it was real.
What the ****'s with being such a sourpuss ? It was a great post. After the first paragraph, I was pissed off. The second and third smelled a little. And the first line of the fourth sealed the deal. Fake. But a very good fake, as evidenced by those who fell for it. Don't be so serious all the time.
No its isnt. If he had been a tennis player and made those kinds of comments what do you think they would have done to him???? I say tennis because its the closest thing to boxing in terms of a world wide sport that is kinda under one roof. I know that in the American sports such as NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL he would have been booted for awhile. No one in the sport wants to be repesented by someone that has those kinds of views of thier sport...Keep in mind it was those kinds of comments that keep Hopkins from being a HBO or Showtime fighter for much of his career.
**** I didnt even read the whole thing it was long, I scaned it then posted. It would shock me if they did thou, Joe needs to be more careful of his comments.
Comments shouldn't get a guy stripped of a title. This does not do much for the legitimacy of the Ring Magazine Title.
I believe what people post in here and the article was well written also. This is a boxing forum so I believe what I read. The way things go in boxing now, it could have been true what it said about Calzaghe being stripped. It isn't like it said Frank Warren sucker punched Calzaghe and knocked him out cold. It was possible what it said.
