cal***gi up to his old tricks again !

[Super Cruiserweight]

"... a fight with Lacy isn't, as everyone believes, signed and sealed."

"... I haven't even talked money yet so nothing is cut and dried."

"... I can't understand why everyone is getting carried away about November 5 as the date."

"Lots of things can also happen between now and then to upset the applecart, not least among them injuries, and I am a little bit injury prone nowadays."

"So I don't want to be premature and put the cart before the horse and it's vital I keep focused on September 10 and put all talk of Lacy out of my mind."

"Regarding my opponent on September 10, I know nothing as Manuel used to say in Fawlty Towers, and I mean that."

"It is frustrating as there's only four weeks to go now, but Frank Warren is working on it and whoever it is will be world class opponent who will give me a tough challenge."

He's just getting the excuses lined up. Later, he can pick one.

I don't normally say this sort of thing, but this is without a doubt the *******t thing I ever heard a boxer say. What the hell, I may get hurt!? Maybe on the night of the fight he'll duck out cause he "has a headache" haha.

Im am a huge fan of Joe's and I understand all of the **** that gets thrown his way, Joe is at a point in his career where he has no ****ing choice but to involve himself in big fights, I cant defend him forever.

However,

In the ring there is not a fighter alive that combines the talent and flat out excitment that Joe brings, the guy is a warrior in the ring-I just hope he and his team finally wake the **** up and fight meaningful fights.

If he doesn't fight Lacy, will the Brits stop talking about him all the time?

[RAESAAD]

Beeeeeeoooooooootch! What happened to all that tough talk from last weekend? I have heard he pulls **** like this but he is right he should stay focused on this other guy for now because it would be a shame if he gets upset and Lacy does not get a chance to crush him.

[theironone]

He should stay focused on the other guy, lets face lets face it he gonna be wank, but if he pulls any glen johnson **** this time i'll be ****in gutted cos i want to see this fight cos i want to see lacy retire him

LOL... huh. Well, i guess he is being honest to everyone. He really doesn't have the option of ducking without catching some sort of reprecutions (butchered that word, i know). It's too big a story now for him to just be able to walk away from it.

[rudy]

WHY DOES HE NOT STOP BITCHING either pull out of septermber fight and get ready for lacy. If he is not ready now for Lacy then he will never be.

This guy is now running scared shame as I think this could well be fight of the year.

It is not going to happen judging by the talk think about this. Lacy does not know what he is getting but has signed contracts

[theironone]

He could be doing it just to get a few people sweating, like when he was due to fight Johnson and he was demanded this and that, giving it all the bollocks how johnson should be grateful for the fight etc maybe he doesn't like being dictated too (or when he thinks he is) and he's saying 'ah you never know' just to wind a few people up...just a thought
