Apologies for the thread dig, but I always prefer to use an existing thread rather than start another if possible and felt I had to congratulate Joe Calzaghe on unifying the WBO, WBC & WBA super-middleweight world titles by beating the previously undeafeted Mikkel Kessler.
Joe must rank pretty close to the best British fighter ever now.
I stayed up to watch that and he was always the better fighter, the only way Kessler culd have won was if he cought him with a big shot, Calzaghe was just too good. He was never going to lose at the millennium with all those Welsh there Apparently he wants to fight Hopkins now, that might be good for money but can you honestly see Calzaghe losing to a 42 year old?
I stayed up but could only listen to it on the radio...
Really looking forward to December 8th now:
Hatton/Mayweather and Khan/Earl.
For what it's worth I think Earl will easily outclass Khan. Just because his fights are on terrestrial everyone seems to think that Khan is the top lightweight in the country/world but actually Earl will probably beat him and Katzidis would totally destroy him...
Is Khan V Earl on ITV then and completely seperate from Hatton-mayweather? Just ITV putting the fight on when everyone will be jumping on the boxing bandwagon?

I'd rather see an all British affair with Clinton Woods, both are the same age too and I'd like to see Woods in a big fight. It looks like Calzaghes got his heart set on the big name and big money fight with Hopkins though.
