I feel like Joe Calzaghe is the most recent world champion worthy of his rep.

Indeed Calzaghe never avoided anybody nor did he just do it for another easy payday.

My cousin is a boxer, but he isn't a dud

l am talking about certain boxers who's talents are over-rated who then come crashing down to earth when suddenly its realised that they are not as good as some people have made out.

Tyson Fury on the Haye fight. He's going to stand right in front of Haye and let him go to work is he? Hah

Froch needs to be wary of this guy, produced by Adam Booth and quickly developing into a heavy hitter, already looks like a knockout artist. If Froch fails to respect this he'll sharp find out why he should have.

If it ever happens Haye will destroy Fury.

Not sure about that tbh. He could certainly have fought the likes of Hopkins and Jones earlier on in his career but didn't. How much of that was down to his management and/or theirs is hard to say but I think the truth is all sides benefitted by being able to retain their status and protect their earning power. The truth is there are too many governing bodies, too many 'champions' and too many hangers-on all with their vested interests to protect for as long as possible.

I thought after Pacman vs Bradley we might have seen the last of the dodgy judges but one scored that fight as a draw...seriously strip these guys of any licences they may have and have them arrested for fixing.
