    It's not remotely speculative, it's a statement of what should be the blindingly obvious.

    Absolutely, he "won" the fight. Is it right that he won the fight? No, its not. But it is unfortunately, a fact.

    Dawson would give Calzaghe a dirty Sanchez.

    Reality check: Money is the main motivator in boxing.
    Response prompted by a thread I read earlier where they were confused as to why Calzaghe was facing Jones, it really isn't complicated.

    History is like a movie "based on true events" it's writtin the way we want it.

    Israel Bissell- you probably dont know the name so look it up.

    I already know that. Even when someone is telling a personnal story, it will often be "like a movie based on true events".
    That doesnt mean we should stop writing history.
    IT is our task to interpret it right.

    You are right about Bissell, i dont know the name. I'll have a look.

    Reality Check: Boxing is about winning. Floyd is 39-0. He doesn't care about your approval of him. Despite your hilarious joke of calling him Mayrunner (when his real name is Mayweather), he beat everyone that he has faced. Who cares if you go backward in a fight if you get the W?

    Reality check - Glen Johnson is one of the most underappreciated fighters of the modern game, and the reality is he would be a shoe in for the hall of fame if he wasn't such an easy target for judges.


    Hopkins win over him remains one of his, if not his best, win on his resume.
