even though i think Manfredo is a capable fighter, at this point in his career Manfredo isnt ready for a fight with Calzaghe. the way i see it, it's just another guy that Calzaghe is fighting that is either not ready for his caliber of fighter or a guy who is towards the back end of his career. this kind of match making has been very successful for Joe. it's Frank Warren's specialty! he's the master at it.
that is not good, but apparently HBO told Calzaghe that he needed to fight an American to make his profile bigger for a possible showdown with Taylor in 2007.
i guess being in a reality TV show makes you worthy of figthing for a championship
Think Manfredo needs to prove himself more. He did TKo pemberton though only a round after lacy did. Who knows. I think he gets eaten up though.
