What will Calzaghe's Excuse be after Tonight???

[Tha Greatest]

I respect your opinion, but that's an unfair comparison. SRR was one of (if not the) greatest boxers of all time.

Tyson made a big mistake after kicking Bruce Seldon's arse. he fought Holyfield 6 or 7 weeks later, and got destroyed.....if I were in Joe's camp, I would advise him to hold out and try to fight Lacy in Dec. or Jan.

Why can't he start training right now?

[SacTown1]

i think he'll have a legitimate excuse if he doesn't want to fight Lacy on Nov. 5th.

IMO that's barely enough time to prepare. Many fighters have made the mistake of taking bouts without enough time to train.

"legitimate excuse" wow you sure defined the term "oxymoron", those are 2 words that definitely DON'T go together

training camps are normally about 8-10 weeks, that would leave ample time for the December Showtime date, but you're right that november may be too early I'll give u that

calzaghe using his jab well, good barrages.

[Bozo_no no]

Any knock downs so far?

How do you have it scored?

Yup...Hopefully Ashira notices and starts doing something...what a boring ass fight
