    I think the Woodhall win is under-rated for Calzaghe, Woodhall had pedigree (Woodhall won the Gold medal at the 1990 Commonwealth Games). Woodhall came very close to stopping Keith Holmes with one arm (Bernard Hopkins didn't come close to stopping Holmes), and remember that he had been kept on the WBC mandatory spot for 20 months by a certain Mr King! Woodhall dislocated his shoulder in training and as soon as King heard this only then did he give Richie his shot.

    Now no offence to Markus Beyer, but he was nowhere near Woodhall's class. Woodhall had been out of the ring nearly a year (due to falling out with Warren) and was clearly rusty at the start of the fight with Beyer due to inactivity, but Woodhall schooled Beyer in the second half of the fight and won the last six rounds easily. Beyer couldn't believe the decision went his way, he'd just been given a boxing lesson.

    The only person to ever get the better of Woodhall fair and square like Calzaghe did was Roy Jones Jr at the Olympics.

      ive not seen much of woodhall, what was he like what his style ? ive only really seen him on bbc as a pundit with Big Daddy Bunce lol,

      as for Wharton, come on, he lacked speed & was abit one-dimensional.
      Henry Wharton was like second coming of Henry Cooper- white, english, left hook.

        Woodhall was all about tight defence, lots of outside work, hit and move style. He had quick hands but was abit too upright, and had never really learned to plant his feet.

          Woodhall was holding his own with Calzaghe and doing well, but in the end Calzaghe was just too big, too strong, too fresh for Woodhall.

            It's similar to the Sam Peter situation, America wants another Tyson. I saw clips of Peter last year expecting him to be some kind of world-beater, and I LMFAO because he was so poor. It's the same with Lacy, infact he may be even worse. Don't believe the hype, there will soon be a wake-up call if Lacy finally decides to fight Calzaghe.


            Jeff"coward"Lacy has a big mouth ,and i hope Calzaghe or Kessler soon will shut his big fat mouth
