Calzaghe: "Hopkins Took The Easy Fight in Wright"

[Benny Leonard]

Quite right. You won't find an easier day's work than Lacy eh.

It was a beautiful display of boxing, no doubt. However, Lacy was overrated, and anybody that wasn't a groupie understood that Lacy had a lot of holes. When someone is compared to a super-middleweight version of Mike Tyson (in his prime), yet doesn't display the same ability in speed, combinations, technique, balance, etc. then you know boxing is at a low point.

It still bafles me that so many can get caught up in the hype so fast because they have a "Need" for another "Star." Be patient, learn from the past, and do your best at pushing through the fog, that is my advice.

Joe should of fought Roy, I will still argue that. Clinton Woods wanted to challenge himself, and he did by fighting Roy (in his prime).

Now we are supposed to listen to Joe because he wants to fight a 41 year old man? No, unify your own division at least or move up to 175 and fight some competition there. If Hopkins wants to fight you, then he will.

I am not a huge fan of Hopkins either, so lets not start. Hopkins lost to Jones, and didn't chase after him, yet somehow after fighting a deflated Tarver, thinks his legacy is greater.

Joe has talent and had great potential, but I feel he didn't live up to what he could have been. But hey, I am not taking the punches so if he can make some money, not get hurt, and retire healthy, all the power to him.

It was easy for him because of the style match-up and Lacy fought like ****.......anyone who had seen Lacy fight before knows that was not him in that ring.Either way Calzaghe has made a career ducking big fights and beating a few good names well past their prime.......I still think he is a very good fighter,just wish he would make some real fights before he is done.

I would just be happy if he left his backyard for once in his life...

Punchers get the hype. Right now it's MIranda. And when he gets knocked out or Ud'd 120-107 (soon enough), we'll be stuck with the same question of how much credit to give.

[Easy-E]

Except Manfredo...

and Sakio Bika.

Joe should seriously shut his mouth.
Hes been given the chance to take big fights and has never been willing.
It cant be everyone elses fault every time.

I would just be happy if he left his backyard for once in his life...

lol that too......

[Hydro]

Yeah, it's not like Winky is a top p4p fighter. He sure is no Bika or Manfredo. Or Glen Johnson.

Oh wait, Joe pulled out of that one how many times?

yeah, just like mayweather does

[Macho_Time]

lol too true bro too true! who is manfredo being trained by anyways? roach is training de la........ man fredo is gunna take a beating........... i want hime to win but.......... zaghe i think is toooo much, in every catagory.

Good question man. I'm not sure who's training Manfredo especially with Roach being occupied with Oscar and Manny in PR. Not just basing it off Calzaghe's last performance, but I think Manfredo has a legit shot at handing Joe his first loss. How about you?

[Scottie2Hottie]

justin fortune is training manfredo for the big fight.

calzaghe needs to shut the **** up.

[Guest]

yeah, just like mayweather does

Good comeback...

Calzaghe is the one talking about wanting to fight in America. This is where the money is at. There's no money to be made in the UK. When Ricky Hatton, your biggest star, has only made about $5 million as his biggest payday, there is absolutely no point going to the UK to fight...

You think Lennox Lewis could have made all that money if he didn't fight in the US for most of his career?
