the juan diaz who is only 3 years older than khan. as long as you're happy seeing your boy beat up on part-time ham-and-eggers while waving st. george, I guess it doesn't matter though.

Gotta go with Daaaaave, Khan is over hyped and over here.

Where do you guys rank Calzaghe in the pound for pound fighter stakes? I have him as top 20 but not top 10. Among currently active boxers not all time.

retired_jgmak3

not in your top 10?

who's the ten aheadv of him then? intrigued

I honestly can't see much wrong with top 10, maybe even top 5, he's a brilliant boxer.

I hate Khan

retired_inzane07

just want to say how utterly brilliant the 24/7 build-up programs have been. really does remind me of balboa/creed from rocky

mon hatton.

retired_hinchmaa

They are great. Understated big fight build up.

1) is correct, but who has the class and speed of mayweather?

2)Joe always done whats asked of him, why should a 10 year champion leave home? Nice to see Hopkins is dodging him now, none of the americans want any of him, when hes clearly said he will fight in America now. Unified his division with Kessler his biggest fight.

3) 17 year old english-asian, olympic silver medalist, how was the media supposed to stay away from him and not build him up? I agree he has fought nobodies but hes asian so he fits nicely into a demographic. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Dont get me wrong, im sure you know a hell of a lot more about boxing then me. My interest flitters in and out of the sport. My point was more that you havent really had anything positive to say about Hatton, mearly Mayweather is the best, Hattons gonna get his ass kicked etc etc.

I have no doubt Mayweather is a great fighter, but call me a sporting romantic but with his cockyness and all the meia bullcrap that he brings with it I just cant help but to hope he goes down next saturday. IMO Hattons camp are making the reight noises. Preparing for the fight and letting PBF make all the noises. Im just hoping for a great fight and hopefully a Ricky win, we British fans deserve at least that for staying up till 4am!

And the Amir Khan comment was tounge in cheek, although I do feel a bit sorry for the lad for the abuse he gets considering he is still learning his trade!

Also how can I watch the 24/7 shows, searched high and low but cant find any 'unmentionable' links to get the show to watch.
