Yep, I can vouch for that. Whether Graham Earl won fairly or not, you'd always say he lost, regardless :wink:

Holyfield won the 2nd Holy-Lewis fight.

Holyfield only won that fight if you honestly scored the first one a draw...

Lewis won both, he just pissed the first one :TU:

Rendall Munroe only got a MD over Kiko Martinez it was clearly a UD and how one of the judges scored it a draw is beyond me .

I thought Trinidad beat De La Hoya, Morales sneaked the first MAB fight and Lewis-Holy 1 was very close (and I'm considered a Lennox fan!).

And I have watched these fights more than once.

I knew you were going to say that.

That Roy Jones would have handled Calzaghe easily in his prime. He may win, but he won't be putting his hand behind his back ala Glen Kelly. It would be hard fought and he would get landed on regurlarly

I agree. Of course, he isn't a Margarito or Toney in the whiskers department but he can take a shot. Judah and Torres hurt him but he still took what they had to offer. And he took a hell of a lot against Margarito in the 5th and still stayed up.

i disagree with the whole concept of a "general concensus" and i'm sure most of you are with me on that one.

I strongly disagreed with 99% of everyone on here when Magee challanged Froch for the British title. I had been predicting for a long time that Froch was not all that he was hyped up to be and now, finally, Magee would be the man to expose the myth. I even went as far as starting several new threads on the matter declaring the end of the line for the Froch bandwagon and all its followers. :oops:

To be fair to myself though :DD Magee was doing a good job of outboxing Froch at times, which was what i was expecting to happen. He just did'nt have the raw grit and toughness or power that Froch had. Eventually, as most were pointing out to me on here before the fight, Froch would eventually catch up with him and Magee's brittle chin would let him down.

Fair play to Froch, he's proved me very wrong. I'll never be his biggest fan, but i have warmed to him over time, even more so since that real gutsy performance against Pascal for the WBC belt. Still think he would struggle against the likes of Kessler or Taylor, but there will be no more bold Froch predictions comming from me anymore :lol:
