Save your money. Khan will wipe this Argentine journeyman out within 4 rounds. This fight is a huge mismatch and not competitive at all. Khan's people have no interest in risking a loss yet against anyone who could seriously hurt him.
So that's why Amir was allowed by his people to move up to light-welterweight, currently a far superior division to lightweight.
All you Yank racists really exasperate me.
As a proud Brit who happens to love the Hayemaker and his style of boxing, even I must admit that David is in need of more fights in the heavyweight division before he takes on either of the Klitschko men; the two strongest, most prolific heavyweight world champions of the 21st century.
His defeat of America's best hope Ruiz was emphatic, but the Klitschkos are in a different league to him.
Calzaghe definitely faked the injury to get out of their fight, so can we go ahead and say Lacy is the man to beat? Lacy has fought the better opposition as of late while Calzaghe continues to do nothing. Lacy is the champ. If Calzaghe wants to bring his meaningless WBO title to the table, he can challenge Lacy if he wants to, but if it doesn't take place in the states, no way Lacy should accept him as a challenger.
Without a doubt.
You are completely correct.
Joe Calzaghe is a typical British Champion of the World; crap.
Not many people I speak to seem to remember this, but Klitschko was winning on points when the fight was stopped.
I don't like Lewis' absurd arrogance in his interviews so I would have loved to have seen him have a re-match with Klitschko.
Obviously Lewis was terrified of a re-match or else he would not have turned down tens of millions just to avoid him.
I am not sure that the Undisputed Super-Middleweight Champion of the World is overrated.
If anything he is underrated, because all I read from non-British fight fans is what a "rubbish", "un-enteratining" fighter he is, and how all he ever does is slap because of his hand condition.
Is this because he is British? I do not know, but he is definitely underrated by many.
If anything Joe Calzaghe is under-rated, surely?
All he ever gets labelled is "crap" or "a f**king slapper" thanks to his hand condition.
He has never, ever been beaten and he has been a World Champion for well over a decade, beating the likes of Eubank, Lacy, Reid and Kessler along the way.
He is a great fighter, as is Hopkins, and we will see who is the best on Saturday night.
im pretty sure that tyson LOST to holyfield, twice no less.... but it could be just me....
After Tyson had spent four years in jail he was obviously never going to be half as good as he once was.
The fact that that vicious bully Evander Holyfield constantly kept butting Tyson intentionally in both fights did not help either.
Ali's great grandfather was also Irish. There's a video of him discussing that on a show.
That is absolutely correct.

Lets face u americans are a bit ignorant. Latino nothing have to do with race but with the language talked in south and central america. Spanish and portuguese (both come from the same heritage LATIN). The people of south and central america countries are most of them a mixture of the ancient indians and europeans that colonized it. So all i wanna say to finnish my cultural statement is that Latin isnt a race. There are 5 latin countries in Europe: Portugal, Spain, Italy, France and Romania. Speaking 5 diferent languages, all came from the ancient LATIN. Then Portuguese and Spanish colonized central and south america. So they speak a LATIN language. Understand it?
Very good post.
Sadly some people are ignorant.
People from Spain (a random example is the Liverpool FC soccer player Fernando Torres) http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=fernando+torres&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi are not the same race as people from Mexico.
Hundreds of years ago the Spanish colonised Mexico and then mixed with the indigenous population.
Most Mexicans today are a mixture and so they are not White, but Spanish people like Fernando Torres are White.
American Heavyweight Champion of the World Rocky Marciano is the only Heavyweight Champion of the World never to be beaten.
EVER.
That must put him in contention for this title.
Rocky Marciano is the only Heavyweight Champion of the World, in the entire history of the sport, who is unbeaten.
Therefore, he must certainly be near the top.
I don't say lennox or sam langford are the greatest heavyweights of all-time although I could make a good argument for it.
Surely you do not mean Lennox Lewis?
Lennox often states in the press that he considers himself English.
He was even beaten up in Canada for his English accent.
There is nothing he can say.
Hopkins may be a great Champion but Calzaghe has been a World Champion for longer and thus has more experience.
The better fighter should win, and I hope all the British fans and all the American fans get to see a great spectacle.
The only way he could complain is if the refereeing performance is as outrageous as the one we saw against Ricky Hatton in December.
Both of these two men have been World Champions for well over a decade. Truly tremendous!
Does anyone know of any good internet links/streams for tomorrow's big fight?
If so, please private message me.
Thank you.
He loses, or better yet, gets KO'd by a 43yr old fighter that Joe calls "Popkins"? I will roll out of my fucking chair in laughter!!! Im sure Joe.C fans wont show thier faces here for weeks, maybe months!
Joe Calzaghe has had to endure racist discrimination, jibes against his father and insults against his country.
He never normally ever insults his opponents, but in this instance I understand why he has done it.
Both fighters are old and Hopkins is a truly great champion so Joe will not face any disgrace if he loses.
that white is gonna get ass raped prison style.
Very well put.
Your knowledge of the sport is obviously vast.
The discrimination on this website is truly astounding!
Iron Mike couldn't write (or read) or sign an autograph. He could just repeat big words like "impregnable" and "impetuous". So it's fake.
pmsl
Very good.
Impervious was another great English word that he used to use a lot.
