Respect for Calzaghe

[TheEvilSaint]

I've explained that in another post, Mr Saint. But quickly: he is the better fighter and his southpaw stance will cause Lacy major problems. Now I really do need to go out and buy that toothbrush. But believe me, when Calzaghe wins you are gonna gt a PM from me with the following in bold, block captial letter:

"BWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA"

why are you planning to celebrate something that will never happen?

his southpaw stance? thats whats gonna give him the win, in ur opinion? ur grasping at straws and overestimating joke cal***gy's "abilities".

[SnoopySmurf]

He's no joke, man. You may not like him but Joe Calzaghe is no push over.

[RAESAAD]

Respect given.

I fully understand why people would hold this view and you have every right to think this. But Joe will win you over come March 4th. When Joe wins you WILL show him some respect otherwise you will have no credibility.

It's strange to me, really strange. When he pulled out with the hand injury, I figured he'd retire or etc before facing Lacy. Now we're 4 days until the big fight, and he's strangely confident. Something isn't right here. I'm starting to think he faked the hand injury not out of fear, but because he wanted more time for preparation to beat Lacy's style. Maybe I'm wrong, usually I'm not about these things.

I've said it many times but here we go again, Joe Calzaghe is a class fighter and a good champion, just becuase he hasn't beaten a big name doesn't mean he can't!

I have seen 90% of Joe's fights and I am certain that Lacy is in for one hell of a battle!

Ditto that!

if hes been working on movement and punching in bunches to escape corners he just might have a chance, he should be working on not getting hit clean, rollin with shots etc, like Bell did after the brown bout. thats how bell beat the heavily favored mormeck. but if he gets hits and stands and trades instead of recovers with mobility he's done, lacy punches like a ****in animal.

He gets no respect because he has never fought outside of Europe, and spent most of his career in England. Thats the bottom line, also people claim that he has never fought anybody.

and what about jeff lacy ? how far out the USA has he fought?

You ****head. What about Lacy,he has only fought outside US once against a American bum (Donnell Wiggins) in Manchester, England

Respect goes out to both fighters. You can look at it either way, Lacy has stepped up to the plate and challenged "The man", and Calzaghe has stepped up to the plate and challenged "The knockout man, who is up and coming".

Both deserve respect, just for taking the fight with each other. All I know is its gonna be a war, and to those saying it ends in 3 or 6 by Lacy KO, I can almost guarantee that wont happen, but what happens after the 6th remains to be seen.

Personally, like I said in the other thread, its a Calzaghe Ud after a great fight.
