honestly what's the point of even fighting if you already have a loss? he will never catch calzaghe, ottke or any of the super middle greats. i guess he has to make a living but i hope he's not too invested in this boxing career.
Haha good one. Bernard Hopkins lost his first ever fight. Ali lost to Frazier in their first meeting yet is regarded as the better boxer. Even if Froch retired now he'd have a better legacy than most boxers out there. He's a 2 time world champion, beaten some of the best boxers in the current generation. He should be a superstar right now.
Dont think he'd beat Calzaghe, but then who could, eh? No-one.
Wow your memory must be fuked or you are just a Calzaghe dick rider. First off Pascal was the number 1 light heavyweight in the world when he beat Hopkins. So right off the bat Pascal would trump Hopkins. Eubank over Abraham when Abraham was argued of being the number 1 middleweight in the world and Eubank was shot as fuk???? Another edge to Froch. Lacy over Taylor? Taylor still wasn't shot and Lacy was all speculation. The reason you fuks even consider Lacy a good fighter is solely based on what the media told you. Lacy wasn't a good fighter and should never be considered a good win. I'm sorry, your beloved Joe Calzaghe didn't ruin a good fighter.
So what are you left with? You're left with a Ried that was fuking garbage when he fought Joe and ****ing garbage when he fought Froch.
Froch beat the number 1 light heavyweight Jean Pascal
The number 1 middleweight Abraham
Andre Dirrell
The number 1 SMW Andre Ward
Kessler
Johnson
Now he's about to fight a guy that some assume is the number 1 SMW, Bute
When exactly did Pascal beat Hopkins then?
Abraham is a 1 dimensional bum at SMW, and Lacy was a mess who got KO'd by Abraham and another 1 dimensional bum in Kelly Pavlik.
Think Froch has a cracker resume and is a great resume, and think the Bute fight will be a cracker, but Calzaghe would easily beat any of the current SMW that give Froch so much trouble
Calzage never left england much. Fought nobodies at home. basically a paper tiger with no rep. Calzage will never be remembered anywhere. Froch has done nothing also the eagle beak is more famous for a pretty wife than anything. Once Bute shuts up Froch and takes Rachael away froch is done. If england had real pro sports like the USA and real Pro athletes neither Calzage or froch would be mentioned or remembered. but sine the britties have no real heroes these bums are talked about.
aye these 'bums' that go about beating the **** out of your 'pro' americans.
Calzaghe - greatest SMW ever
No, he's kidding you, (that picture is probably a mint issue, a collector's item) they don't use gold coins, haven't since Nixon went off the $32 an ounce standard, and sovereigns (20 shillings) and guineas (21 shillings) were either hoarded or melted down. They are huge collector items today worth fortunes. They were always minted in small quantities anyway compared to other coinage and rare even before the price of gold was became market-free. My sister collects them.
You should ask the guy about LSD, (British money-Pounds, shillings, pence) ask where it's derived from, it will tie him into knots trying to explain, especially the "D", and particularly since he's from nationalistic Scotland not England.
LSD was short for "librae, solidi, denarii" which is latin for "pounds shillings and pence"
maybe not as hard to explain as you thought.
Also as can clearly be seen in the photo the pound coin was issued in 2006 and would be a pretty **** collectors item considering I have about 12 of them sitting in my room right now.
Do a little bit of research next time instead of trying to sound smart and looking like you have an extra chromosome.
I have absolutely no problem with British fighters and I think Joe Calzaghe is a top level elite fighter and p4p one of the best going around at the moment.
It is ok, you are a Calzaghe fan rather than a boxing fan, I can accept that.
How can you be a Boxing fan and not a Calzaghe fan? Unless of course you havnt seen him in his past 7 fights. Hes fought the best out there in Lacy and Kessler at SMW (Although he didnt fight Froch), and hes beaten Hopkins for the Ring LHW title... Hes truly an attraction to the sport and is pure boxing quality!!!
I also think Pacquiao is amazing and would love to see him fight Velero Kahn and the Big Fight with Hatton will be immense!
(Hatton wins by KO)
RJJ is obviously a tougher fight than Hopkins, as hopkins is a fight spoiler and can make any fighter look bad with his dirty boring tactics, however he never posed a real threat to Calzaghe apart from the odd lucky punch, but Calzaghe had won it b4 it begun... However RJJ was a true great, and if he trains hard enough for his boxing sendoff could produce an amazing performance, however Calzaghe will still destroy him, prob by TKO as his chim is gone
Big Money Fight
Hard to understand people claiming that Saunders doesn't want this fight. He's coming to the end of his career and this is by far the biggest fight out there.
He'll make more money fighting Canelo than he will the rest of his career without Canelo.
He could either spend the next couple of years defeating mandatories with ease then retire, or actually have a fight that will be a challenge for him and make a lot of money. Saunders has went his whole career building towards a big fight like this. He tried to get it last year, now eventually looks like he's going to get it. If he shoots himself in the foot it won't be because he doesn't want the fight (ridiculously imbicilic statement), but because of his chaotic personality.
What's amusing about this fight (sad for Lacy) is that since Taylor/Pavlik II there have been a dozen different polls about Taylor vs (insert potential opponent) and nearly EVERYONE who picked Taylor, picked him to win by UD. Over the last three years, Taylor has lost his reputation as a KO puncher.
But now... against Lacy... a true SMW when Taylor couldn't KO 154 lbers... everone is picking Taylor by stoppage.
If this doesn't show how far into the gutter Lacy has fallen, I don't know what does.
True... Calzaghe Destroyed Lacy and his career as a boxer. He got a pummeling after goin in as favourite and has never been able to recover
At least Kessler has picked himself back up and one another title... although Kessler didnt lose ever round and get decked by Calzaghes 'slaps'
Anyone think Calzaghe should fight Taylor?
Former champion Ricky Hatton admits that he will have to face his demons when stepping in the ring with Juan Lazcano on Saturday before 55,000 fans in Manchester. Hatton is coming off his first career loss, a tenth-round knockout at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr. (last December in Las Vegas). details]
Former Champion???
Hatton is still a current LWW champion, as he didnt give up his title when he moved to welterweight for the Mayweather fight. Get your facts right!
Two things.
1.) When Fury gave up the Ring belt, he gave up any right to be called the Heavyweight champion... until he beats Usyk.
2.) Why is he calling out a guy who's gone 0-2 in his last two? That's a bad look.
1] Fury is still WBC Chanpion
2] Fury #1 in the world atm, he called out #2 in the world in Usyk who can't fight til 2023, so he then called out #3 in the world in AJ. Fair play, massive fight. Could do more PPV buys than any heavyweight fight for over a decade.
I don't understand why Rivas lost in the first place. He knocked down Whyte and it was quite an equilibrate match otherwise, so a draw at most should have been the outcome.
That said, I prefer Rivas as a boxer. Even if smaller he is more technical and possibly even more powerful.
You must be a Wilder fan. Knockdowns dont win fights..
Round 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Total
Whyte 9 10 10 10 10 10 9 10 8 10 10 9 115
Rivas 10 9 9 9 9 9 10 9 10 9 9 10 112
Don't know how people are slating Whyte for saying this.
Whyte easily beats an undefeated Franklin, yet Franklin is rewarded with the AJ fight.
I'm an AJ fan but fighting Franklin was an absolute waste of time and proves nothing. Then to not even get the knockout was just embarrassing.
Bradley's pretty f*cking good. I know some of you only saw him for the first time against Witter but just watch. If I'm Ricky Hatton, I stay far away from him.
Hatton would KO Bradley before the 10th fool
:D
So, are going to just sit here and act like this fight will happen in February???? Because it's not. We are talking about Tyson Fury here. The same guy who pulled out of the Haye fights and pulled out of the Klitschko rematch after he was found to be on steroids. Fury will come up with a fake injury and then Wilder will fight someone ranked in the top 10-15 of the WBC. End of
Fury never pulled out of a fight with Haye. Haye got injured twice and Fury was Furyous, wasted a fortune in training camps, etc.
Big man has never ducked anybody. Already fought DW after years out of the ring and by most accounts won. Gotta give him props for that. Wilder has a punchers chance but Tyson will be in better shape second time around
This made me laugh, your talking about 60 thousand welsh and people coming from all over the uk, do you really think god save the queen would get played????? it would get booed like fuck man :lol1:
Just cuz ur Scottish m8 :P
the Welsh got nothing against singing God Save the Queen... I'm from NI and its our National antem also, if the fight i just said could ever happen there would be lots of Northern Irish fans goin also, The Welsh NAtional anthem would be played 4 the Calzaghe fight, but for the Kevin Mitchell and Carl Froch fight God Save the Queen would be sung to immense loudness and make us proud to be British!!! And if the fight was at Wembley fans all over London would join in!!!
Btw chase, its not a paintin of Calaghe, its a pic of me in my Army Gear!! Haha
''Hpyejob Haye + Glass Chin + Amateurish Defense, left hand too low = Brutally KO'd by everyone!!!!!!!!!!!''
Haha, not with the silky skills hes got
Haye KOs every1!!!!!
:L
