I'm backing Peter Manfredo but I think Calzaghe has an easy fight ahead of him. What do you guys think. I think that if peter pulls it off, it would be a biger upset than Ali beating Liston at the time he did

no one in their right minds thought ali would beat Liston, much less make him quit. i wouldnt make tha same comparison here as this is a title match and neither guy is a fighter that many other contenders are scared to fight.

calzaghe in round 4. ko of the reality tv star. manfredo has no chance, calzaghe is in a different league all together. the only reason this fight is happening is because calzaghe wants the u.s exposure. mora beat manfredo so how the fuck is manfredo gonna beat joe. you guys have been sucked in to the reality show hype that makes these fighters look better than they are. no one from series one will achieve anything at world class level, cause they arent world class. its a bad matchup in which manfredo is likely to get hurt. i like manfredo a lot but this isnt a good fight for him.

The only way this fight will be close is if Calzaghe puts in a shit performance like he has done in the past against lower level opposition. Manfredo has done nothing to prove he can compete with the best fighter in the division. Calzaghe could have this fight over and done with after 4 or 5 rounds if he puts his foot on the gas.

Should be an easy one for Calzaghe. I think it will be a lopsided UD for Joe

Calz. is going to box him to death in the first half and KO him in the second half

calz all the way

boxing clinic just like jeff lacy

Calzaghe will dismantle Manfredo. Calzaghe impressed me by destroying Lacy and Manfredo isn't in the same league as him. I predict a KO in round 6 by Calzaghe.

I heard that Roach is training Oscar and Sugar Ray has taken over the Manfredoz training with Freddie's Assistant. What do you guys think abt that.

manfredo will receive a worser beating than jeff lacy

Calzaghe KO late in the fight.

I want to see Calzaghe fight Kessler,Manfredo isn't in his class.

Joe should win.

I want to see Calzaghe fight Kessler,Manfredo isn't in his class.

exactly

Speaking as a fellow Welsh boy - Joe is going to school Manfredo all day long.

I saw Manfredo up close last week and he's pretty small for a SMW... Can't see him being able to compete for too long with Calzaghe

the situation with ray training manfredo could be very good or very bad for manfredo......manfredo has some time... is that enough time for ray to make manfredo what he wants manfredo to be...he claims he has the perfect plan....but ray has never trained anyone before...this is something new and could be a failure or one of the best upsets ever.....

How did Manfredo manage to get this fight? Calzaghe wants a warmup before fighting Kessler or something?

basically, but i think calzie wants to fight jermain taylor
