I always like Karpov never once did I root for Korchnoi, I totally dislike Korchnoi, foul mouth, disloyal to his family( Leaving his family behind in Russian), once his son ask Korchnoi to teach him chess but his reply was go get a chess book and learn, Korchnoi is rude and unsportmanship ( kicking a nice GM Petrosian's leg under the table when they were playing their candidate match), I don't believe one word GM Raymond Keene book in world champion match 1978 what he said of Karpov. My disappoint is why Karpov did not crush Korchnoi in their match, I would of been very happy if Karpov crush Korchnoi 6-0. :) So don't think for one moment I dislike Karpov, I don't. But I like Fischer better and he would give Karpov a chess lesson; even Karpov said Fischer chances were better in 1975 in winning the match. So all you players who say that Karpov will beat Fischer when Karpov said he probably will lose; are you saying you know better than Karpov about his chances in the match against Fischer.
It seems you are desperate wanting to change the opinion of people ,who thinks that Karpov will beat Fischer.
No Fischer will not give Karpov a lesson cause karpov will beat him. It has been seen that sports personality who play themselves can be wrong. And Karpov did not give certainty as an answer.
The historical record up to 1975 supports Fischer.

And as many told, Korchnoi is a hard opponent. He has positive score against Fischer.
