Manfredo v Calzaghe? What the hell is Peter thinking?

[marvdave]

not a smart move by Manfredo. He is in the process of building his popularity and he has shown tremendous improvement. He would throw all that away with a Calz fight. Joe would give him a beating.

If he continues to improve and take it slow, I am confident that he can be a champ in the future. Right now it's too early for him to take on a Calz.

[Derranged]

if peter is taking this fight, its great from him. best possible scenario, he looks decent and holds with joe

worst, and most likely scenario is that he gets beat by the best at 168

Or more likely gets a worse ass beatin than Lacey got. Not a good fight for him yet.

see williams vs tyson!!!!

american fans may boo but that shouldn't really deter a good fighter IMO
just mas long as the refs a good one!

[TheGreat1]

Not that i would bet on Peter, but he has really good skills and and very quick, i think it could be a better fight then expected.

[Manfredo Jr]

A small part of me would like to see JC knock him out, but its thoroughly pointless, nobody on earth thinks he can win! probably not even Manfredo.



this fight would not sell out the millenium stadium, this fight wouldnt even sell out Bethnal Green. A fight with RJJ probably would, but Manfredo? what? all the boxing watching public over here have seen of him is losing 3 times in 5 rounders on a tv show. Its got to be JC vs RJJ or Woods, to accumalate enough interest to sell the Millenium out.

if you think manfredo would get ko'd you know sweet **** all , loads off ppl said he would not make it past the 6th round with pemberton and look wht happened ,

I was one of the few people that picked Manfredo to stop Pemberton. You can look at the thread history and find it in the official predictions thread.

Pemberton is not really on anyone's level at his age, but as far as this topic is concerned.

Peter won't make it past 3 rounds against Calzaghe man. He'll get pulverized with straight punches in bunches and he's far too stationary to deal with Calzaghe's handspeed.

lacy took punishment for 12 rounds

manfredo will be knocked out in 3 or less

sparing him the same beating as lacy

I've used other fighters as examples for handspeed, but after reviewing some tape.....I think:

Joe Calzaghe has P4P the fastest hands in boxing.

Manfredo would have hell trying to avoid anything he throws.

This would be a very marketable fight - but not a very interesting one. Big names fighting and I think Manfredo would be lucky if he managed to make it past round 4. Easy meat for Calzaghe, it would just be to try to build up to a bigger fight with Tarver.

[Run]

Manfredo could hope and pray he simply avoids wild, fast, free swinging punches like these ones, and I don't think he would.




Credit MechSlave for that clip, but this shows how Joe fights like a real ****ing man inside the ring.

Unreal how fast his hooking punches are, it's a joke. Those are just the hooking punches...his straight ones are much faster.
