    I've heard RJJ being asked on three different occasions where he had Calzaghe on the all time great list, and on each occasion he said Top 5, just like himself. No misunderstanding...

    To be honest, that is what I thought it said to start with. Wasn't till I reread it that I caught what it really said. I've already posted, at this stage in his career, it may well be his toughest test.

    I'd drop unification from that. Some mandatories are just plain jokes. Not worth the belt.

    HBO currently won't pay to have Kelly fight his next mandatory. That is why he is fighting Hopkins. I think the HBO may make the ABC's a lot less relevant.

    You've seemed pretty touchy stalking me round the forum lately. Why, are you rattled?

    Tito/jones did 500,000 so i would expect this to be around 300,000 maybe a bit more because of the 24/7, but calzaghe hasn't got the following of tito
