Calzaghe to fight Manfredo in Feb?
[b]By Ant Evans: Rumours have reached SecondsOut that IBF/WBO super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe has been lined up to fight reality TV star Peter Manfredo Junior in February.

The fight will be held in the UK and broadcast in the US by HBO.

Manfredo is well-known in the US, having come in runner-up in the first series of the boxing reality TV show 'the Contender'. The 26-3 (12KOs) Rhode Island native was beaten by Sergio Mora in the $1million finale and then again in a closer rematch.

[Bookkeeper]

This under no circumstances would be a mega fight.

[Violent Demise]

If this fight happens than Calzcrappy will be showing his true colors again. Yellow.

[cockey cockney]

Joe simple hasnt got long left in this game, period. Fighting Sakio Bika and Peter ManfookingFredo do not proove he is anything at all. Especially when he claims KESSLER isnt a big enough fight, if this happens its an absolute joke.

[AdamGB]

If he doesn't fight Kessler I will be very upset... I'm already disillusioned by Hatton...

[Violent Demise]

Joe's coward ass has been ducking big fights his whole career. When ever one gets mentioned, some thing always comes up for it not to happen. Hell the Lacy fight was postponed twice. Ottke, Jones, Hopkins, Johnson. All fights that were talked about, but never fought. Now it's happening again with Kessler. Joe is scared. The man has so much yellow in him he should be a fuckin banana. How much more proof do people need?

[Fenster]

You missed out Brian Magee.

This under no circumstances would be a mega fight.

Bet your mates call you speedy?

Likewise here....If Manfredo happens then that is a joke...

[Kev]

I wouldnt worry about it, Manfredo has been linked to fighting every decent fighter in the 168 lb division.

We all know that Manfredo's contract with the Contender wont allow him to lose to a non Contender fighter so you can rest assured that his next fight will be against another no hoper. They are saving him for the rubber match Sergio Mora, where he can safely lose then.

As for Calzaghe there is no point even speculating as we all know when it is announced it will be against somebody none of us have ever heard of anyways.

even Calzaghe vs Manfredo sounds too good to be true.

Expect Calzaghe vs completely unknown Somalian fighter with a 21-2 record who has never fought outside of Africa before.

Well said
Warren has promised "mega-fights" for JC and this is far from it,he also claied Joe would go stateside (he's surely running out of time to do so) and fight which is what the whole boxing world wants.
This is far from confirmed info anyway so i'd hold fire everyone till it (if it) is.
Hattons promotional team are Sh*t and way out of their league,they just don't carry ANY weight stateside.
WTF is Joe going Backward for if this is true?
Should be Kessler then the USA.

[dumdane]

So if this is true, Bika wasn't a tune-up. He was at best a tune-up for a tune-up. Maybe a tune-up for a tune-up for a tune-up.... maybe leading straight to retirement.

[killersheep]

I like Manfredo and think he's a good boxer, but his style is tailor made for Calzaghe.
Joe would slaughter him. Another easy fight to pad the record.

Why fight a fwockin loser?!?!?!

Why not fight Mora? Let Mora move up & fight Joe & that might MIGHT make sense...but Manfredo? Puh-fwockin-leeze.

I love Joe & alla that mess...but his career is starting to smell like a fresh cut turd at the bottom of a toilet.

Fight an actual ranked 168lb fighter...there's one out there hell start @ #10 & back up.

This under no circumstances would be a mega fight.

Nope...this has got to be a fwockin joke!!! But it aint.

If this fight happens than Calzcrappy will be showing his true colors again. Yellow.

Agreed. Finally...I agree. Joe is going South, IWO, & that is hard for me to say.

Joe simple hasnt got long left in this game, period. Fighting Sakio Bika and Peter ManfookingFredo do not proove he is anything at all. Especially when he claims KESSLER isnt a big enough fight, if this happens its an absolute joke.

Kess is injured...or whatever...but I truly don't believe, nor have I ever, that he would fight Kessler.

Slowly losing faith in my guy Joe.

If he doesn't fight Kessler I will be very upset... I'm already disillusioned by Hatton...

I've been wondering...do these fwock's even listen to their fans...or have they just lost their balls? Manfredo & Urango? WTF?

Waste of precious time for both Joe & Hatton.

...and people rip on Floyd. This my friends is laughable!

[smashup]

I think they rip on floyd for some of his peformances mate
