    What would moving up to fight Dawson do? Dawson isn't even a draw. Only hardcore fans know him, and because of his alphabet strap, he's command a higher % of the purse than no-names like Inkin. Besides, what are the names at LHW doing anyway? Whacking their puds? While it would be tough to negotiate, I'd have to imagine that RJJ or Tarver would jump at the opportunity to fight Calzaghe, and to anyone but the hardcore fan, a win over one of those two would mean more than a win over Dawson anyway.

    I agree. When frankwarren.tv wrote articles about who was fighting Joe, I always wrote it's all about Kessler. Plus, many in the boxing industry definitely look at ESB.

    ESB is the best forum on the net.

    Not at all, atheism is kind of a religion too. Got a lot of worshippers.

    Anyway I think you are discriminating against another big worldreligion here. Some people could feel ignored, and start burning China-hand-joe dolls in the regions of the world where said religion dominates or aspires to dominate free thinking. Bit like Blockyass.

    You should make rotation with all the "prophets" on display. Equal time for all.

    Since this threa(t)d is about the importance of these forums in world events, we might set our targets even higher than the heaveans.:rasta

    never going to happen - loads of people has been two-weight champions and three and four...

    Only one has defended his title 25 times - Joe Louis - this is the record Calzaghe is going for - that's why he hasn't moved anywhere and wouldn't do so unless there is a really big paycheck in it - and there are none of those in LHW atm (other than Hopkins - and I'm sure Hopkins can be persuaded to fight at 168)

    The best thing that can happen for Calzaghe is a narrow win over Kessler in the UK - so there can be a rematch. If this fight is just half as good as I exspect - then people will want to see a rematch :)

    unless Kessler's chin turns out to be made of glass - then there is no way in hell Calzaghe is going to beat Kessler as convincingly as he did Lacy - hell he beat Lacy more convinsingly than he did Veit II apart for the stoppage :)

    As for what would happen if Kessler looses - nobody knows. If he just goes on to beat "mundine-kind of fighters" then that would be OK - as Mundine is widely considered number #3 in SMW - you can't fight people better than the availible opponents... :)

    Yeah - It couldn't be avoided, but I like to think the people of ESB made a difference.

    RJJ-DM?
    JC-SO?
    etc.
    etc.

    Many many many "unavoidable" fight has been avoided. Without this chain of events I doubt we would be anywhere near as close as we are now:
    Public pressure -> HBO pressure -> Negotiations

    Companies make market research to see what their customers want and what needs they need to satisfy next. Boxing promoters and TV comapnies look at boxing forums and magazines for such market research. ESB and other boards are more powerful than many fans realize.

    Joe would have hell if boxed manfredo's till his 25th defense. He knows his hands won't last that long. 5.5 is ok. You can svallow a lot of pride with that kind of gravy.

    Saw his own comments on the fight, seems a done deal. He praises Mikkel and recognizes his qualities as a champ. He is even hypeng it up to be one of the major fights of the year...Anyway, he is real nice and straightforward. He wants the fight Mikkel wants it. The public and the hardcore wants it. Well the public might not now yet. It is gonna happen.

    Hey China, Are you the MAN ? You might get to add a Sir, for the kind act of
    equal rights for all faiths.

    I would be disgusted and dissapointed beyond disbelief if you chosse to ignore the challenge of equality for our muslimbrethren. Put forth by toycousin.

    If you abandon this most amusing trend in avatars, I shall be truly disappointed, but conclude that you must feel terrified and unwilling to fight for free expression of one true conviction.

    Anyways China. Do you have a good picture or drawing of this guy Muhammed ? I know a couple of guys that could help you out.

    I wish you Danes would draw some more, so the lunatics can show themselves up again. But it suits me fine to use Jesus and Jesus alone. It is an American anti-Joe Calzaghe conspiracy I am battling afterall and they are all christians.
