    Joe Calzaghe is going to show the world that he can beat up a second class fighter, who really belongs in a smaller weightclass. The Calzaghe huggers must be so proud, their beloved Joe will finally get a KO-victory. I'm looking forward to see which SUPER-MEGA-fight Warren has lined up for Joe next.

        My mind tells me Peter has no shot. He is a very good fighter and has improved dramatically lately, but he should be at 154 in my mind. His power has been increasing and he always has had a good chin. He is by far the hungrier fighter and my gut tells me he is gonna look good and be competitive.

        He is gonna look much better than Jeff Lacy and go out on his shield if he has to. He is a very live underdog.

          Just realised that Manfredo Jr spanked Anthony Bonsante 120-109 | 118-109 | 120-107 just before going onto "The Contender"...

          He is not bad the kid actually...

            I give Manfredo some small sort of shot because his power seems like a potential wild card based on his last few fights.

            Roach can work wonders in the explosiveness department.


            But here's the thing; Manfredo lost Roach to DLH and won't have him in his corner.

            Some of the improvement stuff will stick - but how much left with Freddy?

            If I was toying with the idea of betting Manfredo because of the odds - I would have changed my mind when he lost his trainer and saved my money.

              You might have the greatest Trainers and former hall off famers in your corner but when your one-on-one with a guy(calzaghe) whos levels above you in more or less every department its a total mismatch

              ..by the way manfredos only chance is if he sneeks a Gun into the ring 2nite.

                    He's actually one third Italian, one third English and one third Welsh.

                      I'm no hugger but Calzaghe does have 31 stoppage victories.

                      He's actually one third Italian, one third English and one third Welsh
                      He has three parents?
