i really hope he loses,i dislike these contender flaggots and i dont think they deserve these fights this soon especially manfredo....i want him off the scene...i hope he gets koed
is this david guy any good?
Lethal is correct, big time. Just because no one knows your name does not mean you suck, it just means you have not had a big 'break' yet.
And Manfredo was bobbing and weaving VERY WELL against Calzage. Avoiding shots is in my book 'intellegently defending yourself', you do not have to just be punching back. That was a ridiculous stoppage.
Because he's the pride of Providence. I'm actually from NY, but go to school in RI. Btw, Pavlik will wipe the floor with your boy Calzaghe within the next year or so, if someone else doesn't do it first.
You're just mad that peter manfredo sucks, so you try to change the subject. And anyways Pavlik probably can beat Calzaghe, Calzaghe is old now. But it wouldn't be a walk in the park for Pavlik either, Calzaghe's hand speed would give Pavlik problems. And Calzaghe would have problems with Pavlik's power if Pavlik can carry the kind of knockout power he has up to the super middle weight division. I like both boxers anyways because their exciting fighters and not boring.
Was Manfredo overmatched in the Calzaghe fight? Yes. Could Manfredo have done more if the fight wasn't stopped absurbdly? Probably. Manfredo dosn't suck, lets see you go in the ring and fight Banks. He's a solid young fighter who puts on exciting performances, but still has a lot of room for improvement. Btw, I actually like Calzaghe, but think he needs to fight and beat a higher caliber fighter (Kessler, Taylor, Pavlik, etc) to really prove that he's all that he's hyped up to be.
People said Peter Manfredo made 400,000 dollars against Calzaghe, and Manfredo did nothing the whole entire fight. He barely threw any punches, he is a joke.
read the whole post:
peter gets bashed because he took the fight, sergio does too because he didnt take it....................
thats all i tried to say........
will the contenders get some respect if say gomez beats gatti, manfredo beats green and sergio beats ouma???????
i see gomez beating gatti very probable, yet, people that are saying gatti will ktfo gomez in 2, are gonna say gatti is shot if he loses(which he is, and thats why they shouldnt talk big before the fight......)
manfredo wont beat green so i dont have comments on that...
and sergio may be able to beat ouma, but people will say ouma is a blown up welter............................which he is(and thats why people who say ouma is eating mora alive shouldnt talk big before the fucking fight...)
did someone say PMj has no ams career?
Dude had something like 130+ wins in the ams. Kid has talent. Thanks to Lethal for making it crystal. PMj started actually catching Cal w/some shots before it got called. I think everyone knew Cals hand was broken before the fight and Warren and the boys saw to it that it would be a easy night.
Great post. Do you agree that Manfredo should have never been in the ring with Calzaghe though?
I agree with that. He was better suited going after one of the weaker champions. Calzaghe is just too much.
Man you guys are hard to impress. Not everybody is going to be a great champion. Some guys are solid contenders for their whole career, and thats what Manfredo will probably be. Theres nothing wrong with that.
I thought it was a good fight, and after a rocky three rounds, Manfredo started letting his hands go, and was punishing Banks.

I don't see why there is so much hate. The guy seems humble, and he is staying active. He never claims to be a top-caliber fighter. Hell, he went and fought Calzage on his home turf. Give him some credit.
Now Mora is a dick. He talks like he is so good that champions should be coming to him and he is too good to fight a champion in the belt holder's home town. That is arrogance.

how could that guy have no amt career at all and he is what 14 in 2 the people must have sucked
Billy Conn or Dwight Muhammad Qawi had no amt fights either though.
will the contender fighters ever get some respect?????i mean its pretty obvious they arent even near elite level, but come on, some guys just hate them for nothing like peter is hated for getting a fight with calzaghe that shouldnt have happened....while sergio mora gets hate for not accepting a fight that people believed he didnt deserve anyway, i mean wtf is up with that........and sergio is fighting ouma, so at least he's stepping up his game.....
Manfredo may have won his fight last night but he still has alot of work to do. Banks lack of power is the only thing that saved him. I don't think he'll be able to beat Green if he fights him next. At least hes doing better than that *** Sergio Mora. I lost the little respect I had for him when he pulled out of that Taylor fight.
You can't really put up performances like that and expect good fights to happen for you. Lacy was in the crowd, after seeing that fight he was like aww shit get me in there with him. You atleast have to respect Manfredo for fighting frequently. If he fights a lot more he could gain more experience and try and get a title. Besides him all these other contender bums think they can fight once a year and its all good.
Because he's the pride of Providence. I'm actually from NY, but go to school in RI. Btw, Pavlik will wipe the floor with your boy Calzaghe within the next year or so, if someone else doesn't do it first.
Why do people from Rhode island flood this forum with Peter Manfredo love.
Banks isn't a bum. I've seen him before. He is a solid C level fighter. Manfredo has never been more than a C+ fighter, so this is about what I expected. I like Manfredo despite his limited abilities though. He makes fun fights and seems like a classy guy.
