        He beat Lacy without sparring.

        And I think he discovered Grant gloves since then.

            How people can get annoyed by a boxer which is prone to injuries and DELAYS a fight is beyond me...

              I am not surprised. He has always had fragile hands. Hopefully HBO wises up and doesn't make this a PPV. If Joe can't draw in fans for WCB(Worst ratings for the Kessler fight and very disappointing numbers vs old Man Hopkins), it is doubtful that a HBO PPV would be different. If the PPV does well if will be only due to the fact that Jones and his fanbase.

                Wasn't Calzaghe-Kessler aired during British prime time? Isn't that a major factor for the low ratings?

                  Nope.... they fought at like 1 or 2 in the morning to accommodate HBO.

                    You are shockingly dumb. Chiyoko, posts **** EVERY time.

                      You Calzaghe fans kill me !!! Other than a 70 year old Hopkins . What legacy do you think he has? He's only fought one future hall of fame fighter. The rest of his competition is B class at best!
