Reid and Calzaghe are washed up

[barryboy]

Reid was quoted in the paper this morning saying that Calzaghe was alot quicker and stronger than Lacy and would beat him inside the distance.

Reid giving Calzaghe credit? what's goin on! Reid does seem like a real bad loser though so I don't know how much I'd read into that.

But that was six years ago.

It's all relative, Reid was quicker and stronger back then too.

I thought it was interesting Reid saying that, I didn't think they had any love for eachother.

They don't, but he's probably just telling the truth.

I hope so

I hope so

Well there's no doubt about it that Calzaghe at his best was quicker than Lacy, and more talented. But that was years ago. Like I said I'd be very, very suprised if Joe can roll back the years now.

I'm with you on not being impressed with his last couple of performances but I'm hoping it was just ring-rust and a bit of indifference to his opposition as opposed to him slipping a bit.

What's up with Joe Calzaghe anyway and his lack of interesting fights? He looked real good, the only time I saw him fight 3 years ago. I forgot who it was, though.

He was going through a nasty divorce which is why he messed up the potential Glen Johnson fight. The last guy was forced on him as a mandatory defence. No excuse for the other no-hopers that he's fought recently though.

Johnson wasn't Calzaghe's mandatory?? The fight was going to be for the IBF 175 belt.
