Ding ding ding...we have a winner. Take note, Joe.
When that fight happens, pm me for a bet, martin...
I'd probably bet about 20-40 mil on it, as long as the fight happens in 2005 because Calzaghe aint getting any younger.
I respect Lacy a lot for wanting the fight, i havent seen any other top fighter wanting Calzaghe without a $10+ million payday. He's defintely got balls.
great call, especially with the astericks for Joey Calzone's wins, he has yet to beat a top fighter who was still in their prime....
Can't really argue with that but he has beaten some good fighters in their primes. Lacy has yet to beat a top fighter, prime or not.
I'd like to know where Lacy's granite chin stuff is coming from. When's he taken shots from a banger like JC? Sheika stunned him a few times and JC's power's a level above that.
I gotta go with Lacy in this fight. Calzaghe has power and speed but he Lacy style will be his undoing. He will make Calzaghe fight of the ropes and out muscle him. Lacy is a monster he applies constant pressure and never stops throwing. And by the way Lacys chin is solid as they come.
Not really. Not if you already KO'd that guy in one round.
Anyway, Joe C. is no slouch, but few of his "big" wins are without asterisks...Eubank was old, Mitchell fight was stopped early in many people's eyes, very close fight with Reid, etc.
Lacy and Joe C. can both be hit. The only difference to me is, if they fight, Joe will get very discouraged over the long run when he sees he cannot hurt Lacy.

I still doubt that Calzaghe-Lacy will ever go down, either $$$ or the venue will probably get in the way, but I'd love 2 see it happen!
Hey cool man... And just so you know, I don't take anything on these forums to heart!... If I have a dissagreement with someone on a boxing opinion - :dunno: who cares ;)
THANK GOD that someone has it figured out, these posts are for FUN, this isn't a board meeting or a debate class, which is why it cracks me up when people get so offended by people who agree to disagree....
it's only natural for us to root for our countrymen and booooooooo the guys from other parts of the planet, it's not racist, it's just a passionate international sport....
I "admire the admiration" that Brits have for Hatton, and guys like the Prince and Benn and Bruno in the past, and how loud the Boricua's get for a Tito fight, it makes this stuff more FUN!
lol

I hope Calzaghe gets Lacy soon!
I think Calzaghe will eat Lacy alive! I saw Lacy struggling against a tired old Omar Shieka a few months back.. I wasn't that impressed.
I'm not sure it would happen... But it really wouldn't suprise me if the Calzaghe vs Lacy fight went the same way as the Calzaghe vs Weit-1 fight!
If Calzaghe's on top form, he can be ferocious! And Lacy won't know what hit him!

That's crazy... Lacy would get eaten alive by Calzaghe!
Lacy is in the unfortunate situation of having to wait until Calzaghe either retires, or moves up to light-heavyweight before he can rule the division.
Lacy could fight Calzaghe 10 times and Calzaghe would win 10 times... In boxing it's what we'd call a "Miss-match".
;)
I imagine you're joking. But if you're not...
Yes it would be a "Miss" match.
That's Miss Calzaghe vs. Mr. Lacy
Calzaghe said he would easily defeat Jones Jr. and Dariuz 5 years ago, bacause he "hits too hard and throws too many punches for them".
Makes me wonder why he's still at 168 then...
Calfaggie is a bitch. Lacy will murder him if they ever fight.

We'll bet if they ever fight :cool:
hattons first fight in america his ring entrance should be living in america
Hattons already fought in America twice.
Madison Square Garden, New York and Convention Center, Atlantic City
hatton's style of non-stop work and attack will suit the american crowd. Even if he loses (which like him i beleive he wont) he should go fight in america.
he has to beat reid first.
And will do that by administering him his first knockout loss.
