Lacy and Manfredo are useless, and Joe made them look like trash. Kessler is better than Hopkins. Simple.
hopkins is painfully past his prime. this shall be shown when he steps in the ring with someone as quick footed and who doesn't give you a minutes rest like joe.
If manfredo is not in clazaghe's top 15?..then why did he fight him recently. AND manfredo IS on lacey's level did you not see the manfredo lacey fight? Calzaghe said about a year ago that the lacey victory was the biggest for him. lets face it man....as much as you love calzaghe - his opponents have been weak compared to hopkins LMAO calzaghe taking a step down!!??? yer a loon
calzaghe has ruined lacy. the lacy that set foot in the ring with manfredo was not the same lacy that we saw before that fateful night in manchester. sadly he fought manfredo for american exposure. aired on HBO against a guy people in america vaguely knew. shitty reason yes, but sadly true. oh, and the top two actual middleweights that 'nard fought were jones and taylor. 0-3 in those fights as i seem to recall. fighting blown up panties doesn't mean ****, to a lesser extent the same can be said for tito.
You are a very silly boy You have just demonstrated EXACTLY why Joe fought Manfredo. He is the worst I've seen Joe fight since his very early days, but he was known in America, and hence it got Joe recognized out there If you can actually demonstrate more boxing knowledge than a ******ed chimp for just one second, you might remember Lacey was KOing everybody in sight before the Calzaghe fight, prompting nearly every cnut to predict a Lacey win. He takes the beating of a lifetime, has surgery, and struggles against Manfredo, the sort of fighter he was KOing all day beforehand. Wake up, Joe ruined him Have Hopkins opponents been better names? Yes. Have they been bigger challenges? Have they ****. Put Joe Calzaghe in the ring with a few blown up welterweights and see what happens
i was responding to the points in your thread. why joe fought manfredo. lacy now & then. hopkins supposed better resume. capiche?
LMAO. the only thing calzaghe ruined was his own career by delaying his stardom by spending his whole career fighting soft euro bums.
The thread may as well end here. If "euro bums" is all you gotta say, it's obviously a waste of anyone's time conversing. And there goes yet another arrogant display of (probably) American ignorance.
Hehe...so you don't want to address any of the points raised? It really is quite easy to spot the ones that have started watching the sport since they got hard over Mayweather strutting his stuff in his little silver number You should sit back, relax, stop posting, and acquire some knowledge
ahhh yes, the old i don't recognize their names so they must be **** routine. just because the 168lb division isn't that highly regarded by some in the states doesn't mean that it hasn't been home to some superb fighters.
