kk take your word on it as you know more about boxing than me. imo tho RJJ woulda schooled Calzaghe in his prime.

over 20,000 tickets have already been sold

Dang, that's amazing.

Calzaghe is a rock star, are people just going to this because they want to boo on Manfredo?
Why doesn't Calzaghe just put his title on the line against a punching bag?
He'd sell the same seats.
Honestly that amazes me that 20,000 people are going to that.

I actually see this as a good match up ! Manfredo isn’t all that bad. He has desire and lots of heart. I think it will make for an entertaining match, It's amazing to me how many folks hate on Manfredo .
I think everyone is gonna be surprised at the fight in that kid , Peter has improved over the years.

three things tht make me wonder if this is gunna be the batteing so many think it will be

1. massive fight for manfredo, if he doesn't buckle he will give that once in a life time fight, might mean lasting 4 rounds, might mean lasting the 12..

2. freddy roach isn't an idiot, he must think manfredo has a chance to benefit from this fight other than a big pay check or he wudn't let peter fight joe...

3. what calzaghe will we see? no excuses will be totaly joes fault, but will we see a joe whos out to do his best, or a furstarted one who can't get up for the fight and try and fuck ass about and fight to manfredos level

LMAO!

Hey Manfredo does have some English fans. Don't forget that the show was aired and or rebroadcasted in all 7 continents (6 continents if you went to school in Europe)

I know a lot of people have been hating on Calzaghe for taking this fight and I have also read that Joe is not really into it. If Calzaghe does not practically destroy Manfredo, I will be very disappointed in Joe Calzaghe and I will toss all of Joe Calzaghes fights I own into the fire place.

if he takes Manfredo lightly we could have a new world champ....How many times have we seen the top dog take a fight off and get blasted....Ali vs Spinks (Leon)...Tyson vs Douglas...it could be that easy...
