Calzaghe pulling out of Manfredo fight!

[MBL]

Quoted for those of you who read a thread without a reliable linked source -- or who just read the title without paying attention -- and didn't seek to make sure it was true.

Don't make me do it again.

Thats all I needed to see!

**** this useless thread then

[Easy-E]

This poster is wise. Listen to him and improve yourselves.

get real, annie.
hes a whining *****.

[Mikie]

If this is true, isn't this a record for most fight pulled out of.

Carl frog is a big nose tosser he would get laid out on his back if
he fought Joe.
Frog and Manfredo should get it on both are complete ****e..

This Manfredo dude is a joke man a tv fighter a guy who couldnt
even win fights on the contender..

You talk out your arse.

Calzaghe will never fight Froch. He is far too risky. Froch would Knock him out.

More of risk than Manfredo IMO, but not sure that he'd KO Calzaghe! I would have said that i'd prefer to see him in with a better level of opponent before a Calzaghe fight, but if a match can be made with Manfredo then why not Froch? It would certainly attract more attention for the british fight fans, but it looks as though Calzaghe is trying to attract more interest in the States at the moment.

Calzaghe isn't English

He was born in Hammersmith England, that makes him English!

Bika is a tough, dirty fighter with a solid chin, he would take most middles and super-middles the distance.

This is the kind of **** that gets annoying. You guys are always trying to hype up the opponents to make it seem like the win was actually impressive. Same **** happened after Hatton-Urango. Who has Bika beat that makes him such a dangerous fighter?

Who said Calzaghe's win over Bika was impressive ? Bika is tough as nails and would go the distance with most middles and super middles.

He is dangerous in exactly that sense. His toughness would make it hard for most people to take him out. It would be hard to look super impressive against Bika.

I'm sorry but didn't Joe beat Bika by wide ud ? Taylor would also, as would Winky and others but i can't see them stopping bika. They would beat him by wide ud, just like Calzaghe.

Once again, you saw the chance to start one of your hate-filled rambles against a British fighter and couldn't help yourself, could you ?

If Manfredo gets further than the other over-rated 'puncher' from America he faced and lands a punch I'd be stunned.

If he does better than Omar Sheika, who was well known but shyte, I'll be staggered.

If he makes it out of the first minute without being stopped I'll be mildly surprised.

Calzaghe may be 35, he may have brittle hands and he may have failed to capitalise on his prime but he remains leagues above Manfredo. Leagues.

And it will show when they meet.

What does the short middleweight with mediocre pop and no handspeed do with high-octane, high volume, longer reach ,faster hands, greater natural weight, better prepared, better stamina, more experienced, greater technique and every other criteria you want to muster on which Calzaghe has an advantage.

I dont think Manfredo even has a punchers chance. A clash of heads is his best hope of a 'result'. It's a terrible class match up. But makes sense for Calzaghe's belated birth as a star in the US.

well then you have to realize that at his long carreer, he only has 1 "great" win and it came at later end of his career. This guy doesn't seek out REAL BIG fights. He needs to fight better comp simple and plain.

you're an idiot.
