I can't see how Cotto will be the same again after this fight. The beatings he took against Marg and Pac will definately effect him mentally and physically from now on. Maybe its best if he retires.
Why do so many people hate Calzaghe? If they didnt like his style of fighting, fine. If they dont like his resume, fine. The dudes been gone for almost a year now and people are still hatin on him, why is that?
Calslappy ...not bad for a fraud of a fighter that never fought nobody:boxing:

Peter Manfredo?
so your the one that uploaded those two tyson vids that you came across?
could've just said so, now you made me come across as an ignorant prick
Its cool, no harm done.
silver if we want to see this stuff we know what youtube is and can search ourselves
it's not exactly rare stuff neither
Ive just uploaded it now to my Youtube account
Hopefully Pavlik will bounce back soon, maybe the loss to Hopkins as well as personal problems has derailed his career. His still has time to get back on track.
Basically. Clottey is cherry-picking himself.
I thought the reason for that fight falling through was because Clottey didnt have a trainer. In a interview on this site he said that if Pwill gave him more time that the fight could be made.
It's because of his ridiculous fans. Some who have made the following statements:
Joe Calzaghe is a top 30 ATG
Joe Calzaghe is a top 50 ATG
Joe Calzaghe could've beaten John Ruiz too if he wanted to
Mikkel Kessler is better than any Hopkins win
Seriously, I could go on. But it was maddening trying to explain to these nutsos that since Kessler hadn't done squat except beat a bunch of faded 168lbers, he wasn't much different from William Joppy. So, of course people are going to jump all over these fans once Kessler gets his a** handed to him.
Calzaghe top 30 ATG? Okay.
Now Calzaghe can only be defeated via KO and only a 200lb+ could do the job. See the crap people have to read?
I thought the only way you could beat him was with kryptonite?
But on a more serious note, if he really did want the big fights then he should of been willing to fight in America a whole lot sooner. He also should of made A Glen Johnson fight happen and either a Dawson or Pavlik fight happen.
Samurai really thinks that,wow.
What are his personal problems?
He has not been right in the head since the Hopkins loss. When that fight was made I had a bad feeling the fight was all wrong for him.
Im just guessing thats all, maybe his had outside stuff to deal with.
As for the Hopkins loss, it must be hard for a undefeated fighter to loss his first fight. I think he turned down the pwill fight to fight Hopkins.
I think he needs to get different people around him. I think Hopkins not only beat him up but he demoralized him in the ring in front of millions. Took his heart out his chest and showed it too him....Lefty

I think his outgrown Jack Leow, Kelly is 1D after all. maybe Roach or even Rooney could shake things up a bit.
What the hell are you on about. They both went into those divisions because that's what they could both boil down to due to their physiques and stayed there because they made good money beating (relative) bum after (relative) bum.
Both smw and mw divisions were barren wastelands, during their respective reigns.
Name one fighter that is more overrated than slappy?
Joe Calzaghe was a slightly above average fighter and thats it people, yet his nuthhugging homo fans think he is an all time great. LMFAO. Calzaghes best win is against Mikkell Kessler FFS, who a green 25 year old Ward whooped alot worse.
All time greats don't have a guy like Kessler as their best and most career defining win.
He is a hofer, but not a atg, I agree that much. As for the question about finding another more overrated fighter, im going to have to get back to you on that.
Since the controversial loss to Cotto, haven't heard much outside of the Paul Williams negotiations falling through.
What the hell is he up to and when is he gonna get his ass back in the ring?
Dude's not a big money fighter, so what's he waiting for?
He split whith his trainer I believe, you can ask him on facebook.
I don't know if anyone can give you your will to fight back. He needs to get back in there this year often. he is fighting in December, he should try to fight another 3 times in 2010 plan something for late Feb or early March then late july early August and finish off with another fight in December or January of next year...he needs to keep busy and fight at least one or two big names in the next 4 fights....Lefty
Some fighters are never the same after thier first loss, look at Tyson on the other hand Ali was always able to bounce back. Only time will tell which kind of fighter Kelly is, hopefully more like Ali than Tyson.
mayweather will always be the joke of the month, that is until hopkins fights another midget bum next month and then it will be back to mayweather again.
Didnt mayweather ko the dude in your avatar?
I honestly believe roger or anyone on the mayweather camp can outwit nor beat roach in formulating the best gameplan. Currently, he is the man suited for that job (being w/ DLH) and he now has the perfect fighter to execute the strategy. I think what it comes down to is breaking pac PBF's shoulders - defense down and force floyd into an exchange. Floyd's jabs aint gonna do shit when pac can walk through it and burst him with flurries in exchange. The key is complete pressure with proper footwork to put him position for his flurries
Mayweathers defence is the best, notice the way that neither Margarito or Mosely could get close to hitting him.
That's not true, from what I heard. I don't want to say too much but let's just say, Clottey had a lot of excuses for not making the Williams fight.
I wish I could afford to turn down 650K.
Historically which is better: Middleweight or Super Middle?
So when they both decided to STAY in each respective weight class, who was assuming that they'd have more historical greatness. Who DECIDED to enter a class division that may have turned average when he was there and who DECIDED to enter and stay in a division that never was?
I'll await your answer with a smile on my face.
If you werent a hopkins fan and you said this fine, but you obviously so I understand the double standards.
