nice, thanks

[PBDS]

....Good stuff from two classy guys IMO.

[Kid Achilles]

I am looking forward to this fight. One of the best matchups in a long while. I'm pulling for Jeff but as pbds said, they are both such classy guys that are each a credit to the sport.

Calzaghe doesn't stand much of beating Lacy unless the fight takes place at 175. He's struggling with weight too much and it has taken away his power.

My predicition is that Lacy wins this fight by TKO1, but then Calzaghe moves up to 175 to beat Tarver in American and gets a Lacy rematch at 175 in America..

yes because if Calzaghe gets stopped in one round by Lacy, Tarver will give him a match, what are you on?

Well, Joe would have to go to America and win a few fights at 175. Just like Eubank was going to do in 1997 when Roy Jones wouldn't give him a shot.

Get over it, jones would have KILLED eubnak and then we wouldnt have to listen to you.

[Crumble]

Eubank would have lost on a wide UD, the guy never done enough.
