joe pulled out last year with a fake injury only to prepare himself to the max

Either way I think he would have beaten Lacy hell he may have beaten him with one hand....if he had to.Lacy did nothing his corner told him to and Calzaghe was way to fast with his hands and his feet.It should be a huge lesson for lacy but leads me to believe he may never be able to beat a fighter with that much speed and boxing ability.

Say what you want...Joe was in unspeakable shape to fight at the "12 round never slow down" pace he did...unbelievable shape.

everyone was talking how he was ducking lacy etc when he pulled out of the fight last year but after what happened last weekend, only conclusion I can come to is that he realized jeff was a threat, pulled outta the fight solely to have more time to put himself through a hell of a training camp to come out on top tonight.

i think thats kinda true. bcoz i recall that joe said sumat about bein in training since dec lol

Fake Injury? If someone can, get the ITV show uploaded just to show these people the state that Joe's hand was in after the Ashira fight please... (they showed it on the UK show over here). It was completely swollen and you could tell it was broken by the way it was being handled and the way it looked...

Also Joe had another hand problem 5 weeks before the fight began but decided to still fight, and at the end of Lacy-Calzaghe the other night, his hand was damaged again.

But lets be real... would you blame Joe for wanting to delay the fight a couple of months more so he could go in pretty much 100% rather than 60%?

This slow but steady stream of excuses is beggining to piss me off now. First the KD wasnt legit, and now Joe is being criticised for not taking the fight with one hand...

You said the injury was fake... It wasnt fake...

****ing hell, even when the man is won people still need things proven to them!

Listen -- Joe's injury was legit, he wanted to go into the fight 100%. Nobody goes into a fight with one hand, and that is what Joe had after the Ashira fight... end of story.

were you in his corner, or a member of his camp?

lemme guess, you're a family member?

his promoter?

if none of the above answers then STFU, you know nothing of the truth and are only stating your opinion. Fighters payoff doctors all the time for fake injuries, and I know for a fact that joe calzaghe has paid off doctors before to lie about his injuries. one inparticular is named Max Molyneux. I don't think it's a bad thing to fake an injury if you plan on coming back like this guy did. so take your negativity and shove it up your ass, cuz I aint hatin on your boy.

His hand wasn't 100% healed either by the sound of it.

Oh wait so the swelling that I saw in his hand was an implant that he had put in to make it seem like his hand was broken? But then how would they do that with the glove on...

Its all on film, you are wrong, I am right. I have seen the footage, you havent...

****ing hell this is just like before the fight, constantly trying to justify Calzaghe over everything... just take it from me, the KD was legit and the hand injury was legit.
