    Could Calzaghe beat any of them fighters at Cruiserweight. Could he ****.

    Gurov would've put Calzaghe in a coma!!!

    Kessler in Cardiff aint a risk.
    Calzaghe isn't a Cruiser weight is he?

    Could Pacquiao beat a top 10 Welterweight? Don't be silly!

    Kessler in Cardiff is a huge risk, 50,000 people on his shoulders expecting him to win while Haye fought Mormeck infront of the notoriously dull french with a poor attendance, not much pressure imo.

    Mormeck is old and far removed from his prime, you can't possibly suggest that Haye would beat a PRIME Mormeck ? Mormeck would have finished him off in the 4th if he was in his prime.

      Ricky you are baffling, when exactly was Mormecks glorious prime?

      He came off of his best win prior to fighting Haye, revenged the only loss of his so-called prime. It's not as if Haye knocked over old man Holyfield or something. Mormeck was the champ, he was in his stomping grounds and he'd came off of a big win. It's not like he's got much mileage on him.

        Sorry but Mormeck is probably still number 2 in the division while Haye is there.
        Mormeck beats Macca and Cunningham same as he recently beat a tough Bell.
        I guess you are on the wind up but the truth is you cannot take away the win from Haye who was fighting at less than 100% and weight drained.
        He took a knee which was a clever move in the 4th and something he learnt from the Thompson fight in which he was never knocked out either...he was just knackered.
        I don't really understand the slagging of Haye.
        He is a young fighter who is willing to take risks and fight the best out there.
        A guts & glory fighter not a pad his record fighter.
        He is in the game to prove himself rather than just take the payday.
        He should be praised for that.
        Simple as ****ing that.

          This is where the thread should simply end, moofo summed it up.

            Mormeck is almost 36 years old, that is very old for a fighter fighting above Cruiserweight against big punchers. Mormeck's prime was around 4 years ago when he beat Virgil Hill.

              Fighting in front of 50,000 of your own fans ain't a risk. Was Peter Manfredo a risk then cause there was 50,000 in Cardiff for that one as well. Fighting Kessler in Copenhagen would've been a risk.

              Frank Warren is a genius.

                Haye is being picked to beat Wladimir Klitschko, that's where the critism comes in.

                What has Haye done to make them think he can beat Wlad? All of his resume can be broken down and questions can be asked about his opponents yet people still jump on the band wagon proclamining him as the next Heavyweight king. The dude got Knocked out by Thompson ffs.

                  moofo thinks that calling out the recognized champ is not all about money (LMFAO).... Haye needs to beat some one to prove he's worth a damn. Hell, put him in there with Povetkin or Demintriko or JC Gomez or a gate keeper like McCline, SSS, Rahman, etc......

                  He won't though he'll fight some turds get a sloppy win or two and fight WK

                    And if he lost?

                    He would have had to retire there and then.

                      Though I've agreed with much of what you've said up until now thats just plain ******.

                      The fans dont get in the ring and fight alongside you. Sure, home advantage is a good thing to pump fighters up and get their blood going but it isn't *all* that important. The cream generally rises to the top. To say fighting Kessler in Cardiff isn't a risk, but in Copenhagen is a risk, is fairly ******ed.

                      The better man won in that fight, Calzaghe. The chanting Cardiff crowd didn't mean a damn thing.
