Joe Calzaghe Would Continue if Knocked Out Like Hatton

[NakiFan]

We were all told that America was sending Lacy over to take out the lesser brit and that Joe would be lucky to go 5 rounds.

[Chunk..]

No but Carlos Baldomir is not Bernard Hopkins.........seems fairly evident.

No but Baldomir was the #1 welterweight in the world as was Hopkins being the #1 Light Heavyweight in the world, which means he was an elite fighter by your standard!

I'm gonna quit with these games and round off the fact that Calzaghe has not fought let alone beat a P4P elite fighter, that includes Hopkins.

[Dave Rado]

According to Ring Magazine, he is

No he isn't

No actaully Hopkins was a P4P fighter based on more than being the Number 1 Light Heavy. Are you seriously saying you didnt or dont have Hopkins in at least your top 5 P4P?

[Dave Rado]

I do, especially P4P elite fighters.

Carlos Baldomir was the #1 welterweight in the world at one point, so he must of been an P4P elite as well then?

When was Boldomir rated in the P4P top 5? Or even top 10? Ridiculous analogy, and the sort of thing that only irrational haters would post.

[DonTaseMeBrah]

No he isn't

how celestino caballero & nonito donaire got to the top 10 is beyond me. Almost everyother p4p list has paul williams & chad dawson in it including this one.


Chad Dawson & Paul Williams are top 10 p4p, it dont matter what ring says.

oh hell yeah, calzaghe ain't got nuthin on Lacy. It's gonna be NO QUESTION when they meet soon. Joe really doesn't stand a chance. Jeff Lacy owns the super middle.

Lacy is a powerhouse man, Noway calzaghe stands a chance....

I dont take ANYTHING away from Calzaghe, I know he has a pretty solid chin, hits like a bull and is pretty fast in the hands, but Lacy would massacre him.


That is my opinion....Calzaghe is a good fighter, Lacy is a great one....

Lacy in under 4 if it ever happened.


Restless-On a side note, Jesus christ Lacy is a big man for 168....

Hang on, "Lacy didn't look good against him?". It was one of the best fights this year! Obviously you didn't even watch it. Second, Lacy will beat Calzaghe either THIS year, or EARLY next! Like spinksjinx said, Calzaghe=good Lacy=great.

i dont think he could hurt lacy as much as lacy could hurt him lacy is just to strong and big if they was the same size i would pick calzage but lacy is a monster so
lacy by knockout

Cough......LOL........Cough

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

I had Hopkins at #3 but he wasn't elite when he fought Calzaghe, no were near it. Hell, Calzaghe wasn't even elite when he fought Hopkins.

Was Hopkins a P4P elite fighter when he fought Calzaghe?

Hatton fought and lost twice to P4P elite fighters, Calzaghe didn't fight any.

And obviously it wasn't Calzaghe's fault that fights with a prime Roy and Hopkins didn't happen. It was never his fault.

[Chunk..]

When was Boldomir rated in the P4P top 5? Or even top 10? Ridiculous analogy, and the sort of thing that only irrational haters would post.

Ask some of the Calzaghe toy boys on here about my fair and objective views on Calzaghe and come back and try telling me i'm 'irrational hater'.

Hatton fought and lost to P4P elite fighters. Calzaghe didn't.

Some Calzaghe fans seem to object to this? Why? It's the truth.

[Dave Rado]

It doesnt matter. Yes Lacy was hyped, but the guy had like 23 fights & never beat anyone of note.

Im a big boxing fan & i have never experienced they Lacy hype the way the Calzaghe fans make it out to be. Lacy must have been huge in europe before calzaghe beat him.

They hype him up to make calzaghe's win worth more than it actuall is.

Lacy wasn't hyped in Europe, he was hyped in the USA. Most Brits thought Calzaghe would beat Lacy. Most Americans thought Lacy would destroy Calzaghe.

More importantly, Calzaghe put on a masterclass in that fight. Lacy wasn't as good as the Americans rated him, but he wasn't nearly as bad as Calzaghe made him look.
