Why Kessler will beat Calzaghe...

Federer wouldn't want to be the boxers of old. But his greatness in his sport aren't comparable to an active boxer IMO.

His accomplishments in his sport dwarf Calzaghe's is what I am saying.

He is arguably the greatest ever at his sport, and is certainly up there with Sampras and Borg....thus the reason I picked 2 of the top 10 fighters ever. None of the modern boxers are rated in the top 10.

 

Yeah, the name McLovin is a more fitting name. I wish I could change it, but I never make alternate accounts.

You are a quality poster with great insights into the sport of boxing. Forum Poster of the Year Nominee for sure. Not bad for a 10 year old boy.

 

I agree - there are no Federers of boxing - yet. Kessler could be , but lets see.

As much as I loved Borg in my teens, Federer is just beyond any other, including him. Maybe some of it is due to lack of great opposition, maybe not.

What I was trying to say concerning the boxers of old is that none of them would last very long against the champions of today. Sports evolve - at least thats how I view it. People hang onto legends, and therefore can't be beaten in peoples mind, but maybe thats just me. At least I get what you are saying, and I should have left it at that - sorry.

 

These thoughts are an amalgum of mine and others but I am thinking this is probably 60 per cent in Calzaghe favour so Kessler should be paying $2.50 for fair value, he is currently paying $2.40 in Australia so he is just shy of fair value. I would need to see the odds move before I get on him or I might just capture the premium value on Calzaghe now - hard choice

 

Don't worry your memory will probably return.

 

Got ya:good

 

He is trying to run away from himself and you are rubbing his old self in his face!:-(

 

I have been working far too hard and and long hous never had time for anything else. I am trying to get things back into balance and hopefully get back into betting on boxing again if I have the time to do the required level of research

 

Very hard - you might as well make a bet your heart. This fight is a pick'em fight, imho.

Are there any odds on a rematch?

 

Great to have you back - just in time to give us a great analysis before the fight ensues .

We have a prediction thread going, its only in the 2nd week, and the more the merrier on the 3rd. There aren't any money involved, but its still great fun - and a place to compare with others.

Else I just hope you find the time to do research and betting, since extra cash and the extra excitement is always grand.

 

Take a hike bro...

 

It was merely a false prophecy - calm down, this great poster will never return to his former self.

 

"Bro", as in "brothel swab":smooch

 

Way ahead of you mate. Soon you can do the same - your balls should drop in a few years.
