    He looked much better and stronger in his last two fights.

    This will be a close fight. Calzaghe is 35 FFS and has looked **** for years on end (Lacy fight aside, where he was literally tapping about a punchbag and nervous wreck).
    Your a dipsht and you always will be, do you realize how good my cum would taste oozing down your throat? For the record it would taste pretty darn good, ok.

    I told you ***** that your not allowed to speak about Calzaghe and how faded he is, you told the world that Lacy would walk right thru him and end it in 1 round. After the fight Joe was all of a sudden this unbeatable stud, shut up or I will cum in your mouth.

    I will.

      I'm very glad Calzone took the Manfredo fight for his 20th defense. If he actually fought a dangerous fighter the boxing world might actually forget his entire protected career hinges on a single notable fight against a one dimensional unproven fighter: Lacy. Matching Hopkins record or beating it after Manfredo will be chuckled off by the boxing world as another joke, just like Valuev who may "beat" Marciano's record.

      So Calzone will never get any real respect in boxing because he never earned it by taking risky fights. The fact that he even considered fighting Manfredo proves he isn't fit to spit shine the shoes of all time greats. This is as pathetic as the prospect of Sergio Mora vs Taylor. At least Taylor fought a legend twice and came out on top and fought Winky as well. He deserves a vacation fight.

        What if he beats Manfredo, beats Kessler, beats Taylor and beats Hopkins? Will he still be a joke?

          You include Manfredo with those others?

          That depends, is Calzone going to wait until they get old and crusty and well past their primes? After all, that's the only time he seems to be willing to step forward and challenge true greats. Hopkins, Jones...wow, just challenge all the geriatrics! And when he isn't challenging old people he challenges little people like Winky.

            I dont imagine its a case of including them in with the others. The other fights will likely not happen unless he beats Manfredo first.

            With that said, Calzaghe was challenging Jones for the best part of a decade. He has been challenging Hopkins for not much less. He is challenging Taylor and Wright NOW, when HE is the older man and supposedly past his prime. So that little statement doesnt hold up for you.

              Kessler and Taylor are both younger than him, and Hopkins made a pretty easy job of Tarver.
              He would gain my respect it he fought them.

                Oh that's right, while he hides in Wales to fight average Euro tomatoes he shouts words across the pond. What great fighter does he have on his record again? Oh yeah, there isn't one.

                Oh, he's old at 34? Well I guess when you're an above average European myth you can't accomplish great things until you're 40 like Hopkins can. Poor Calzone, retiring so soon before accomplishing anything of note.

                    Well good thing he's warming up on the great Peter Manfrodo! First Calzone needs to unify his division, then he needs to defeat a reigning American champion, and finally to acheive greatness he needs to become champion in light heavyweight.

                    I doubt he can even duplicate Hopkins's performance and beat Tarver. But hey, he's only 34 years old. Hopkins is still fighting. Calzone will still be fighting for 6 more years right? RIGHT?
